Alarm Monitoring

We provide monitoring for building, facility and business alarms directly from our campus dispatch center in accordance with UC San Diego Police Department Alarm Ordinance – PPM 460-6. If you are interested in subscribing to our alarm monitoring service, please note that:

1. All active alarm systems are required to file the appropriate, current documentation with our department.
2. Police dispatch is ONLY responsible for alarm monitoring. The Police Department Physical Security Program Manager and coordinators can assist departments in identifying the most appropriate security system to meet their needs. However, the subscriber is ultimately responsible for installing and maintaining the alarm system.

Security System Upgrade

The UC San Diego Police Department is currently on-boarding a new Customizable Keyboard Panic Button system [LYNX - Panic Buttons & Emergency Response Systems for Business | Lynx (lynxguide.com)]. We anticipate that the system will be online and functional by Spring Quarter 2025. All existing Panic and Duress account owners will be notified when their system will be transitioned from the existing legacy physical hardware to the new keyboard panic buttons at the beginning of Winter Quarter 2025.

Testing

As part of IACLEA Accreditation and our efforts to ensure existing systems are functioning, account owners are REQUIRED to test their panic buttons every quarter. Use the link to schedule an available test period.
