Sonitrol’s Verified Electronic Security Technology Assists Police in Apprehension Every 111 Minutes
Sonitrol, Orlando, Fla., reached a milestone by assisting in its 170,000th documented apprehension since 1977, when the company began documenting apprehension statistics. According to Sonitrol, the company’s record of success in assisting law enforcement in the apprehension of intruders is attributed to the nearly 50 years of dedication and advancement of the company’s unique, impact-activated, audio intrusion detection technology. Sonitrol provides businesses and homeowners with 100 percent volumetric wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling protection — monitored and verified in real-time — allowing for a quicker response by law enforcement. This results in more apprehensions of potentially criminal trespassers than traditional non-verified alarm systems, Sonitrol said.
The 170,000 documented apprehensions over the last 36 years — or approximately one apprehension every 111 minutes — is a result of a mutually beneficial relationship between local law enforcement agencies around the country and Sonitrol’s professionally trained operators. Sonitrol’s ability to verify an intrusion in real time offers unrivaled credibility with local law enforcement. As a growing number of municipalities pass Verified Response regulations requiring verification that an intrusion is actually taking place before law enforcement dispatch personnel to the site, the reliability of Sonitrol’s audio intrusion system offers a key advantage.
