A prime example of industry cooperation is the recent creation of the Security Industry Alarm Coalition (SIAC). Created through the efforts of key industry associations, SIAC’s role is to be “the one voice for the entire alarm industry on false alarm management issues,†says SIAC executive director Stan Martin.
One of SIAC’s primary activities is, as Martin puts it, to “run around the country educating police departments and dealers to influence good ordinances and discuss the negative ordinances that have a serious impact on community safety and on the alarm industry.â€
