  1. PARTNERSHIP FOR PRIORITY VIDEO ALARM RESPONSE Steve Dye, Chief of Police Grand Prairie Police Department

  2. Traditional Burglar Alarms • Typically, over 98% of alarm calls are False Alarms • Police apprehension rates on traditional alarm responses are normally less than 1% • Technological advances can now enhance police alarm responses – and increase arrests

  3. What is a Video Intrusion Alarm? Battery-powered wireless alarm Apple-sized motion viewer detects a break-in with an infrared motion sensor Onboard camera sends a 10-second video clip of intruder to an alarm monitoring station (via the cell network or IP network) for immediate action

  4. Video Intrusion Alarm Activations 2.Operator filters video, confirms if an intruder may be present and calls owner (two calls) 3.Operator immediately calls police on obvious or confirmed criminal activity and e-mails video for a priority response • Alarm signal with video clip is transmitted to a monitoring station

  5. Police Department Response Police Officers can be immediately dispatched and receive real-time updates (i.e. suspect and vehicle descriptions, direction of travel) Video can be sent to squad cars so that responding officers have a visual description of suspects prior to arrival Not intended to eliminate two-call verification, by monitoring companies, but to expedite responses based upon video confirmation

  6. Public-Private Partnerships • High level of Community Policing through: • Achieving: • Enhanced Safety • Crime Deterrence and Increased Apprehensions • Reduction in Property Losses • Partnering with stakeholders: • Police • Homeowners and Business Owners • Insurance Companies • Alarm Providers • Utilizes latest technology to maximize public and private resources

  10. Additional Benefits Insurance rates can potentially be lowered for policyholders Security companies have access to many video intrusion alarm systems – none are unique Alarm companies have ability to monitor many types of video intrusion alarm systems

  11. Video Intrusion Alarms are NOT Surveillance • This is an incremental step in technology doing exactly what intrusion alarms and monitoring stations have always done - “Detect and Notify” • Video intrusion alarm systems go beyond traditional “Detect and Notify” practices to provide visual confirmation of what caused the alarm

  12. Video Intrusion Alarms are: NOT to identify an intruder NOT 24/7 surveillance video NOT to provide "live video" on demand NOT self-monitored by the consumer MONITORED by a qualified monitoring station

  13. GPPD Response to Video Intrusion Alarms • Revised policy to burglar alarms will optimize limited public safety resources • Video Intrusion Alarm Responses will be handled as higher priority, “in-progress” calls • Dispatch process can be initiated while video is being received • Policy on responding to all other alarm calls will NOT change
