BS5979:2007 Category 2
Our Alarm Receiving Centre, FCM, hold BS5979 Category 2. This means that we can provide a ‘level 1’ emergency response service by using a police Unique Reference Number (URN).
This is the fastest way to get the police to respond. When the police are called the URN ensures that the operator already has more information than usual, such as the location, names and the situation, meaning that help will be with them quickly in an emergency.
