How quickly does a Pima County monitoring center respond after my alarm triggers?

The signal from your control panel reaches the monitoring center immediately after the alarm triggers. A live operator instantly opens your account and begins following your response instructions.

What should I do if my Pima County alarm goes off by mistake?

Answer the operator's call and provide your verbal password to cancel the alarm immediately. If you realize it was accidental before receiving the call, contact the monitoring center directly using your provided number.

Can the Pima County monitoring center tell which emergency service to dispatch?

Yes. The alarm signal includes the alarm type and the specific zone that triggered, allowing the operator to dispatch police, fire, or medical services based on the event.

What happens if the monitoring center cannot reach anyone on my contact list?

If no one answers after the operator contacts everyone on the emergency contact list, the appropriate emergency service is dispatched according to the alarm type.
