In 1974, a small group of CCTV dealers pooled their equipment purchases in order to obtain better pricing and terms through volume discounts. That group has now become a network of systems integrators with over $1 billion dollars annually of electronic security and life safety installations.

This is the story of PSA Security Network, Denver, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

While PSA’s initial emphasis was on CCTV, the product line today includes the full range of security products including access control systems, locking hardware, gates and parking control equipment, life safety and alarm products.

PSA has buying arrangements with over 250 vendors, and since its inception, the initial group of 22 companies has grown to over 140 systems integrators.

To celebrate its anniversary, PSA will host a special party during the 2005 Conference and Business Integration Expo held in Orlando early next year in conjunction with NSCA.
