THE NARRATIVE RESULTS OF A ONE-MONTH TOUR BY THE AUTHOR TO POLICE DEPARTMENTS, INDUSTRIAL SECURITY COMPANIES, AND ALARM INSTALLATIONS IN GERMANY, DENMARK AND SWEDEN.

Abstract

THE PURPOSE OF THE TRIP WAS TO REVIEW INSTALLATIONS AND THE EQUIPMENT BEING USED AND THE REGULATIONS THAT GOVERN ITS USE; TO REVIEW THE TERMINATION OF THE CALL RECEIVED FROM THAT EQUIPMENT, EITHER BY POLICE OR SECURITY ORGANIZATIONS; AND, TO DISCOVER THE METHOD BY WHICH THE POLICE FORCE OR SECURITY ORGANIZATION REACTS ON RECEIPT OF THAT INFORMATION. AMONG HIS CONCLUSIONS, THE AUTHOR LISTS THE FACTS THAT THE THREE COUNTRIES STUDIED STRICTLY REGULATED THE TYPES OF ESTABLISHMENTS WITH ALARM LINE TERMINATIONS AT POLICE STATIONS, AND THAT ALL INSTALLATIONS SHOULD BE OFFICIALLY REGISTERED WITH THE POLICE.
