response apparatus
Explanation:
No reliable pairings to be found, but this is undoubtedly based on "rykke" > "turn out" (e.g., a fire brigade responding to an alarm.) First link is the source for the example sentence. Second link is Google results for "response apparatus" + alarm.

turn out service


Explanation:
Det norske uttrykket er nok hjemmelaget. Det brukes av ett selskap, så vidt jeg kan se - og dette selskapet er ikke akkurat preget av godt språk:

Dette gjeldende i område med Vakt Service eget rykk apparat og er geografisk begrenset til de store byene

Meningen er nok at de tilbyr tjeneste hvor personell rykker ut, altså beveger seg fysisk, til et object ved behov.

Example sentence(s):
  • Does your security company have an approved turn out service with its own guards?
