NSI said: The OFT has stated that Direct Response Security can NOT say there system gets a rapid response from the emergency services.

YES THEY CAN Direct Response Security are NSI Silver Accredited

This means the instalations, service, maintenance are to european & police standards. A Direct Response Security Alarm will generate a

LEVEL 1 (Immediate) Police Response to a Confirmed Intrusion or a Personal Attack Alarm with a current police URN

In the event of a fire alarm the the fire service will attend immediately

Medical/Social Alarm Ambulance Service can be contacted

As Direct Response Security is Accredited by the National Security Inspectorate this ensures a proffesional company installing proffesional approved equipment

Also there company is inspected by the NSI

The NSI is the most respected approval body for security services in the UK.

Customers!

However, from the ACPO Policy:

4.5 Advertising

4.5.1 Installation Companies and ARC’s shall not use terminology which might raise, in the mind of the customer, a guaranteed or unrealistic expectation of police response to a security system and shall not use an ACPO logo or reference in advertising material without written permission from the ACPO General Secretariat, or a police force logo without the prior permission of the relevant chief officer of police.

4.5.2 The use of wording such as ‘Police Approved’, ‘Police Preferred’, ‘Police Compliant’ and ‘Meets Police Requirements’ must not be used.

4.5.3 Advertising material should not contain any references to recognised or compliant lists held by individual police forces. Photographic material or images of police officers or vehicles must not be used.

They are breaching the terms of 4.5.1 right now by a bold headline which reads, "A Guaranteed Police Response to your Monitored Alarm"

Jeff - its nothing to do with Direct response and everything to do with the bit part players having a noisy day.

"Ohhhhh NSI are bad - but I`m not going to prove myself either" *Bother. Get over yourselves.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Here ya go:-

Pensioners who are burgled are far more likely to die earlier than others of a similar age, a Home Office study suggests.

Home Office Report - Fact!

But the key finding - which took researchers by surprise - was that those whose homes had been broken into were twice as likely to be dead within two years as people of a similar age who had not been burgled.

Norman Brennan, director of the Victims of Crime Trust, said he was not surprised by the latest statistics.

"This confirms what I have believed for over a decade now - that it is amazing how many elderly people who have been in relatively good health until they are burgled die in a relatively short period afterwards.

Shock reporting, no facts, no evidence. Now where have we seen that before?? ah, yes. The BBC.

If they'd linked to the actual data then yes, it may have weight. Without the data, it has none.
