First Line of Defense  

Entries are judged by percentage ratings in five criteria:
• The impact of the event on the company's customer, i.e. lives saved or property damage averted;

• Quality of the applicant's essay;

• Press coverage of the event at the time it occurred (local, national or both);

• Backup documentation submitted with essay, including testimonials from responding police, fire or medical agencies;

• Whether a representative from the winning company can attend the award presentation at the NBFAA convention/awards gala.
The First Line of Defense Award, co-sponsored by SDM Magazine and the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA), was designed to recognize the tangible values and rewards security and fire systems bring to communities and the nation.

This award honors the teamwork among security-installing companies, their central stations and their emergency authorities in protecting their customers.
