Simpler Application Process for this Year’s Police Dispatch Quality Award

by | Mar 11, 2019 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Change with the times. We’ve done that with this year’s Police Dispatch Quality (PDQ) Award application process.

 

We know it’s not “fun” per se to go through a long and drawn out process to fill in forms, find documentation, summarize programs and submit information. The PDQ, now in its 14th year, had required a lot of this. So, we streamlined the application process. We hope this simplification is helpful for the security companies looking to apply for the award.

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), Partnership for Priority Verified Alarm Response (PPVAR), and Security Sales Integration created the Police Dispatch Quality (PDQ) program to promote cooperative best practices, 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 ECC (Enhanced Call Confirmation) and other features known to reduce alarm dispatches, training customers and working closely with law enforcement. The best overall collaboration will be honored with the 14th Annual North American PDQ Award, which is also endorsed by the Installation Quality (IQ) Certification Program.

Applications are being accepted in three categories: 1) Full service integrators that have in-house monitoring. 2) Integrators that use a third party monitoring service provider. 3) Contract monitoring providers that do not have any accounts they provide service for.

 

  • The winning security company will be able to participate in the award ceremony during June’s Electronic Security Expo (ESX) in Indianapolis.
  • Installing and /or monitoring alarm dealers in the U.S. and Canada must mail or email an application to SIAC postmarked by April 26, 2019
