Mercantile burglar alarm systems may include remote signaling equipment to signal a receiver at which location?

• A. Fire Station.
• B. Police Station.
• C. Home monitoring center.
• D. Central Station.

Answer: (B)

Direct signaling to a police station is used for mercantile (commercial) burglar alarm systems to enable immediate law enforcement dispatch when a burglary occurs. This setup provides a direct path to public safety, which is why the receiver is located at a police station. Fire stations are typically associated with fire alarms, not burglary signals. A home monitoring center is a private facility used for consumer monitoring at a residence, and a central station is the private monitoring facility that collects signals and may relay them to authorities—not the police station itself. The key idea is that commercial alarms can be configured to alert police directly for faster response.
