Local Government & Public Sector Intruder Alarms (Surrey)


Reliable intruder alarm protection for council buildings, depots and public facilities


Local authority sites often combine public access, staff-only areas, high footfall, and multiple users  which can increase risk and also increase the chance of nuisance activations if the system isn't designed and maintained properly.


OC Services designs, installs and maintains intruder alarm systems for borough and county councils across Surrey and surrounding areas, with a focus on reliability, clear zoning, user training, and ongoing support.
