Law Enforcement Testimonials

"Several years ago, SIAC met with the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police to find new ways for working together on alarm reduction tactics. We endorsed a novel concept - forming an alarm management committee - as part of a cooperative approach to improve alarm management. With advice and fresh ideas from SIAC staff, we worked together to establish a Georgia Alarm Management Committee, with members from three Police Departments and three alarm companies serving on the panel. This approach has helped us make a quick dent in false alarms, and provides a framework for joint problem-solving in the future."

Louis M. Dekmar, Police Chief, LaGrange, GA, and former President of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police

"When Colorado Springs began reconsidering its alarm ordinance near the end of 2007, we were looking to be as inclusive as possible to ensure a balanced final product. To do so, we needed accurate and up-to-date information on alarm reduction techniques. SIAC stepped forwarded to provide the information we needed on best practices around the country, and new ways to improve alarm management. With the input of our citizens, elected officials, SIAC and other members of the security industry, we were able to craft a document that is fair to all the parties involved."
