Security Systems Policy IntroductionThe Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) of England, Wales and Northern Ireland recognise the rapid development of technology and its use within security systems. This policy details the police response, which can be expected to an electronic security system, which is identified in the ACPO "Requirements for Security System Services". To enable a security system to be recognised within the ACPO Requirements for Security Services it must comply with the ACPO Policy on Response to Security Systems and a recognised standard or code of practice controlling manufacture, installation, maintenance and operation. Such standards must be in the public domain and not be product based. The installation and services provided by the installing company and an alarm receiving centre/monitoring centre, shall be certified by a UKAS accredited certification body in accordance with the provisions of the ACPO Requirements for Security Services. It should be noted that police response is ultimately determined by the nature of demand, priorities and resources that exist at the time a request for police response is received.
