Stopping False Alarms in Buffalo, NY

False alarms take police, fire and medical workers away from real. That-s why Amherst Alarm is committed to reducing false alarms and takes this issue very seriously. We are not only members of the IQ Program but we have also led the way in helping reduce these alarms by working with our local authorities.

Managing alarms more effectively benefits everyone. By knowing and understanding your system you will cut down the burden on responding authorities by reducing or eliminating alarm dispatches. This saves time, money and most importantly, lives.

Here a few tips to prevent false alarms:

• Make sure all doors and windows with sensors are completely secured before turning on your alarm system.

• Make sure all contact information and passcodes are kept up-to-date.
• Have Amherst Alarm check your system regularly.
