A security system to create and maintain a secure communication link
between a remote secure storage site and a law enforcement office using a
continuous prearranged encrypted signal on the communication link. The
authenticity of the encrypted signal is validated at the law enforcement
office. Interruption of the encrypted signal is treated as an alarm that
must be investigated. Sensors at the remote secure storage site detect
intrusions and trigger the transmission of an alarm signal from the site
to the law enforcement office on the communication link. The law
enforcement office may enable video cameras or containment devices in the
event of an intrusion.
