We need your entries for the Police Dispatch Quality (PDQ) Award. SIAC recognizes it takes time and a lot of effort to submit a quality program for this annual award, so we have extended the entry deadline until May 12. You can access information on the program and entering the contest here.

PDQ

We know that companies in the electronic security industry are busy selling to customers, installing and servicing systems and following up with customers. That’s how the bottom line thrives. But, at SIAC, we also know that having a great alarm management program is a feather in you cap to better differentiate your business from a competitor’s.

 

That’s where the PDQ program comes in. If you are chosen as the winner, you get added publicity and a selling tool to customers – the best program in the country at minimizing and eliminating false dispatches. Even if you don’t win, there are benefits.

 
Putting together an application forces you to look at your operations. You’ll find some things that you are doing well, and others where you can improve. Going through that process helps you identify areas to get better, a cornerstone for your long-term success as a business.

 
We strongly encourage you to take a look at the PDQ program and send your entries in soon. Previous winners have used their award to publicize good things they do in their local community. That gives them positive visibility and a step up on competitors. You could be next.
