Survey Shows Video Alarm Technology Helps Law Enforcement

Law enforcement officials love the ability of video or CCTV as a crime-fighting tool, according to a survey published by Security Sales and Integration and Police Magazines.

Police departments and Sheriff’s offices like the technology’s ability to assist in identifying suspects and the way they contribute to more apprehensions.

Officials also believe more arrests could be made responding to video intrusion alarms that verify a crime in progress rather than traditional, non-verified systems. Four out of five law enforcement officials surveyed say video verification of intrusion alarms would convince them to endorse placing a higher priority on response.

The survey shows law enforcement believes video alarm technology to be a significant asset in fighting criminal activity.

The survey, 2011 Law Enforcement and Alarm Relationship Study, is published periodically by the two magazines mentioned above.
