OK so it was fitted within the first few days then for that is how I read Ann's statement.
Also the Blue has a similar comment " Jeremy told somebody that he corresponds with that the panic button was not installed until POST murders along with the burglar alarm. The relatives then admitted this was true!"
That was a very quick installation.
It only takes a day to fit an alarm system.
The police suggested in case of intruders who may steal valuable contents
No idea what system was put in, but the one I had in the 1990s (and they’re progressing all the time) had panic buttons downstairs and upstairs, for obvious reasons. Pointless just having one downstairs when you’re in bed at night.
It also had three separate buttons for Police, Fire, Ambulance
It was dog friendly, meaning my dog could walk downstairs without setting it off when it was on night mode
Had to pay a monthly fee for it to be monitored 24/7
Had to pay a one off annual fee to police so that when the alarm company got the panic alarm they’d send the police immediately, and as you paid the police they’d give you immediate priority and arrive in minutes. I always thought that was bad in a way, but that’s how it was and still is.
Nowadays alarms are all connected via wifi so are far more sophisticated
Not sure why I’ve rambled...but, anyway, there was nothing strange about the police suggesting WHF be fitted with an alarm system. They wouldn’t have paid for it, but may have arranged it.
