The City of Rock Hill, S.C. Police Department was presented the Security Industry Alarm Coalition (SIAC) Directors’ Award of Distinction at a recent Rock Hill City Council meeting. The award recognized the outstanding successes of Rock Hill’s Alarm Management Program in reducing alarm dispatches throughout the city. The program was developed jointly by the police department, the alarm industry and SIAC.

In 2005, Rock Hill Police responded to 5,431 alarm-related calls for service. That number dropped to 3,857 in 2007, a reduction of 1,574 calls, or a 29 percent reduction in dispatches, in less than two years.
