Police Raids & Burglar Alarm Systems?
This is a theoretical/hypothetical question (NO, I have NOT committed any crimes!)
I was just curious what happens if police raid a house either with a search warrant/arrest warrant (whether its knock or No-knock warrant) or without a warrant based on exigent circumstances) and the owners/residents are not at home, but they have turned on their burglar alarm system??
I mean when the police enter, by breaking down the door or whatever, and the screeching alarm is going off, what do they do?
Do they just keep searching with the alarm still going off? Do they call the alarm company to turn it off themselves? Do they just disable the alarm themselves in some way (like the same way that they get into locked cars they need to search, with a "Slim Jim" tool to open the door)
I mean obviously the police won’t call themselves, but if no one is at home when they break in, and they don’t know the code to shut off the alarm, then what do they do?
How do they shut it off?

Giggle bag that was funny,,, In reference to your question
the alarm company would call the central dispatch of the
jurisdiction involved, would be told police are on scene with
a warrant… They would give the monitoring company the
warrant Depo No,, the Judge that issued the warrant..
The alarm would be turned off.. Once the House was checked
and all teams had exited,the alarm would be turned back
on,,
When the alarm company calls the PD – the dispatch center tells them police are on scene – alarm will be deactivated.
Take the siren/horn off.
I’m not sure where these other guys work, but I have yet to see to an alarm that’s controlled from off-site. I work about 3 alarms per night and each one must be disarmed at the pad, in the building itself.
They Don’t Shut It Off
They SHOOT It Off…………..
