0 a person who has been chosen to have responsibility for the keys of a particular building, etc.:
I think of the well-known and often-quoted incident of an emergency exercise in an area where there was only one keyholder for the emergency centre.
Where such notification is nevertheless received, it is force policy to require the alarm holder to notify the police of at least two keyholders.
For instance, the keyholder could be held up by somebody outside and threatened or his family could be threatened.
It also regulates three other sectors: private investigators, security consultants and keyholders.
They go off at night, having been set by one's neighbours who have gone away and whose nominated keyholders live some distance away.
The selection of two keyholders is again a vital element.
There may be a keyholder, but there is no management, and we need to sort out that problem.
As the secretary, keyholder or whoever it may be who has methods of getting in left the building, there could well be very little problem in robbing him or her.
