Golden Police to handle intrusion alarm calls more efficiently

On January 1, 2015 the Golden Police Department will begin handling intrusion (burglary) alarms in a more efficient manner. The police and/or fire personnel will continue to immediately respond to robbery, panic, medical, and fire alarms; however, the department has decided to adopt a form of "Verified Alarm Response" as our method for handling intrusion alarms. This simply means that some form of verification will be needed prior to having officers dispatched. Either the alarm company can choose to physically verify the validity of an alarm, or police officers will respond if there are factors that lead us to believe that the alarm is valid.
