Alarms for Victims of Domestic Violence

If you was previously in a relationship with a history of domestic violence, this could be from physical violence, mental abuse or feeling threatened within your home you may benefit from the installation of an alarm system.

When the alarm is activated, the Control Centre is alerted that the call is a domestic violence incident. They immediately contact the Police so officers can attend the scene. There is no need for you to make a telephone call. A microphone within the unit automatically records all of the events taking place.

The criteria for having an alarm fitted:

• The Perpetrator cannot be living at the property.
• There is the likelihood of the perpetrator returning to the property uninvited, causing you to feel threatened or vulnerable.
• You must authorise your details being passed to Careline Control, the Police and the Monitoring Officer.
