[FedCom] Military Alarm Systems

Unless they have changed:

On a reservation, the Military Police / Security Forces / Contract Guard 
Service monitor their own alarm systems in house

Think it was called J-SIDS (Joint Intrusion Detection System, it is a 
modified "direct wire" type which can be used over field wire if necessary, 
and very immune to attack.

Off of a reservation or in the case of an isolated Reserve or NG facility, 
the alarm system were normally contracted out.

It was not uncommon for one vendor to have the contract for all of the NG 
armories in a state, the reserve facilities tended to use a local vendor, 
however some of them were state / regional also.

There is a "standard sign" which is supposed to be displayed, so outside 
people would not immediately know which or whose system was being used.

P.S.

The USPS has been using silent alarms with telephone dialers for many years, 
just turning the safe dial could also set it off, even before the door was 
open.
