North Yorkshire and Devon & Cornwall are the latest police forces to become ECHO-connected, having joined in August and November 2024, respectively. Their addition brings the total number of ECHO-connected police forces in the UK to 13, with ECHO enabling the efficient handling of over 70,000 Intruder and Hold-up Alarms incidents annually, improving police response times and outcomes for victims.
Pioneering Echo-connected alarm receiving centres (ARCs) including ADT, Secom, Cougar/K-SOC and Banham are now delivering automated alarm signal service levels in excess of 90%, facilitating quicker police response and ensuring faster, more effective action.
