Now Accepting 2011 Submissions

DEADLINE February 28, 2012

Security companies and law enforcement agencies work together as partners, sharing information and communicating frequently to protect public safety and serve their communities. The Security Industry Alarm Coalition (SIAC) and the False Alarm Reduction Association (FARA) have created the POLICE DISPATCH QUALITY program to promote cooperative best practices, to reduce unnecessary dispatches and give officers the most complete information when responding to alarms. We are looking for companies that exemplify an all out effort to reduce false alarms from implementing ECV to utilizing ANSI CP-01 compliant control panels, training customers and working closely with law enforcement. The best overall collaboration will be honored with the North American PDQ Award. Co-sponsored by Security Sales & Integration, Honeywell Security and the IQ Certification Program!
