False Alarm Reduction

Security and Fire Alarms are now very common items found in businesses and homes across the US and the world.  They protect both property and life. Over the past few years, these types of systems have become very affordable and extremely reliable.

That being said false alarms from these types of systems are still a huge burden to municipalities. The cost of responding to false alarms is a tremendous drain on the city’s budgets not to mention it ties up valuable resources that may be needed elsewhere.

We will discuss this and other facts about false alarms throughout this program.
