LOL, now for the next question....

We have our alarm go off here and the police took 7 hours to come. First, they called and asked if they should still come. Has this been a problem in Tafton? I know the SP have a huge area to cover and are understaffed but every house alarm should be taken seriously. Math, we appreciate the extra information on the strobe. I think it is important to have and we are looking at the website you recommended. Thanks again.

It seem very strange for it to have taken 7 hours for the police to respond. (Even here in the boonies it never takes more than five hours! Only kidding!) Your system would call a central station if something sets it off (window/door open, temperature fluctuation out of the norm, glass break, motion sensor activated, smoke or heat). These all depend on what equipment you have installed. The central station would then call whoever you have specified to call, whether it is the local or state police or you. It sounds to me like there was some miscommunication for it to have taken that long for them to respond. Vector has it's own patrols that drive through the developments, but I'm not certain if they also respond to alarms or if the state police have to do it.
