Review the environment
Identify access points, assets, people, operating hours, current controls and known risk periods.
Alarm response
Alarm response backed by clear site instructions.
An alarm response is most useful when the attending officer knows what to inspect, who to contact and how to document the outcome. Westwide plans attendance around your property, access arrangements and escalation requirements.

Planning the service
From operating requirement to accountable deployment.
A useful security scope defines what the team is responsible for, when coverage applies, how issues are escalated and what evidence the client receives.
Set responsibilities
Document posts, patrol points, boundaries, escalation contacts and reporting expectations.
Brief and prepare
Confirm personnel, licences, inductions, site orientation, communications and shift handovers.
Use the evidence
Review activity and incident records, then adjust coverage when the operating requirement changes.
Common questions
Planning alarm response.
What information is needed before alarm response begins?
Westwide needs the site address, access arrangements, alarm and escalation instructions, nominated contacts, known hazards and the areas an officer is authorised to inspect.
Can alarm response be combined with scheduled patrols?
Yes. Alarm attendance can form part of a broader plan that includes random or scheduled patrols, lock and unlock duties and property inspections.
Does an alarm response guarantee a fixed arrival time?
Attendance depends on the agreed service scope, officer availability, travel conditions and site location. Any response expectations should be confirmed in the service agreement.
