Every business with a monitored Intruder Alarm or CCTV system must have at least two nominated Keyholders who are available 24/7 in the event of an activation. This is so that they can be contacted whilst the premises are unoccupied. Unfortunately, Keyholders put themselves at risk when responding to activations out of hours, as I am sure you are aware that not all Intruder Alarm or CCTV activations are false alarms, and the intruders may still be on site when your nominated Keyholder arrives.
The Health and Safety at Work Act, now forces companies to re-evaluate their Keyholding arrangements, these new regulations make it more difficult for you to expect your colleagues to attend activations and a duty of care places stringent requirements upon you, the employer, to protect your employees.
Police attendance at Intruder Alarm and CCTV activations have been reduced to just two allowable false alarms over a twelve-month period. After this, police response is withdrawn, and only reinstated when a secondary verification system has been installed.
Cadre Group UK Ltd can remove this burden from you, by employing us as your Keyholder. An Alarm or CCTV Monitoring station would contact our 24/7 Operations Room instead of you or your colleagues. Our Mobile Response Officer would respond on your behalf, so neither you or your colleagues would be contacted or disturbed until a reasonable hour the following day (depending on circumstances).
Our Mobile Response Officers react immediately to Intruder Alarm or CCTV call outs, protecting your business and colleagues from the unknown. We would receive the call from your Alarm or CCTV Monitoring station, we would attend your premises, and we would carry out a full investigation and reset the alarm.

Should you not wish to leave the keys, access or alarm codes to your business in our capable hands, and you have an Alarm or CCTV Activation, our Mobile Response Officer could meet you or one of your colleagues on site and inspect the premises with you. This prevents you or your colleagues entering a potentially dangerous situation as a Lone Worker and allows a safe and controlled inspection of your premises. This service is known as Assisted Keyholding (Alarm & CCTV Response).
