House Watch

The Four D’s of Security:
Deter, Detect, Delay and Deny.
DETER with lighting and your alarm company’s decal or sign, DETECT with your security system’s sensors, DELAY with quality windows and locks, and DENY with a responder.
Without the final “D”, the others don’t matter much!
Without a response your security system represents very little if any value for your investment.
To correct this, Commissionaires Victoria security guards provide the final D, rapid reaction by trained security professionals who will respond according to your security orders; for example:
- enter your home when an alarm is triggered;
- perform a thorough external and internal inspection and re-secure your home, and if necessary:
- coordinate with the police;
- coordinate with restoration specialists
- remain on guard at your home until it has been secured.
We belong to the Victoria BBB and Chamber of Commerce and we are ISO 9001: 2008 and Cnadian General Standards Board (CGSB) certified.
Our responders are criminal record free, custom trained, insured to $10M and carry a security clearance.
Most of us are former members of the Canadian Forces and the Police and so you can trust us.
Indeed, we are trusted to provide this service at many of the prestigious homes, businesses and public institutions in Victoria.
There is no annual fee or additional administrative costs. Clients are free to cancel the contract at any time with no obligation.
Simply call Ray Doucette at 250-727-7755 Ext 101 and he will make the necessary arrangements with your alarm monitoring company to ensure that Commissionaires will be your security responder of choice.
House Watch Vacation Protection
Leaving a house vacant can void your insurance. Homeowners should be aware that standard home insurance may not cover damage occuring in a vacant house if it is not inspected on a regular basis.
Also, check with your lawyer to determine the dangers of asking a neighbour or friend to check out your alarms.
Whether you are away for a day or several months we will ensure that you meet the requirements for insurance coverage. For example, we will:
- perform scheduled checks and pick up any papers/flyers that have been delivered;
- vary lights and window coverings to provide that lived in appearance while you are away;
- look out for unusual activity, suspicious persons or problems such as water leakage.
Again, simply call Ray Doucette at 250-727-7755 Ext 101 and we’ll be right over to help you secure your home.
