central station monitoring in US/Canada?

[Toxx <Toxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've a question about central station monitoring.


Here in Germany a central station monitoring also means that guards of
the alarm company drive to your premise to verify your alarm and then
call the police if there was obviously a burglar.

How is it handled in US/Canada?

Does the central station monitoring only call up the premise to check
for false alarm an the send the police?
