Maidstone RCMP recommend checking your security system

2026-02-23
Imagine this, you’ve left your home or business for the day and you receive a call from the police. Somebody has broken in and the police need you to come and talk to them. As you drive over you’re confused why the alarm company didn’t call you. You check the system and find out that you forgot to update the monitoring company with your new phone number. You check cameras and find out they haven’t been working and nothing was recorded.

Alarm or security systems may help deter crime and can assist in potential police investigations. Be sure your alarms, cameras, and motion sensors are in good working order at all times. Conduct regular tests to make sure everything is working properly. If your alarm or security system is monitored, make sure the company has up-to-date contact information for the person who should be called in the case of an alarm or an emergency. If you are considering a system that includes video capture, invest in cameras that provide full coverage of your home, property or business, and in particular, points of entry.
