Key Personnel
We are passionate about customer service. Our entire team from the owners through to our monitoring team have a fundamental drive to assist our customers whenever we come in contact with them. That drive ensures we meet the immediate need, satisfy the request, answer the question and make our contact as memorable as possible. All operators employed in the Monitoring Centre are required to undergo an intensive training induction to ensure total compliance to the S1 Monitoring training manual, a program that covers all aspects of the monitoring centre operation. There is a shift supervisor on duty at all times, tasked with managing the team including decision making for incidents whilst maintaining company policy, industry standards, the law and customer instructions.
