At the Greater Los Angeles Security Alarm Association’s (GLASAA) General Meeting in June, attended by SDM, the focus was firmly on the future, with a panel discussion on PERS and the offering's future growth possibilities, as well as the presentation of GLASAA/CAA Youth Scholarship Awards to two extremely talented high school students with bright futures.
First, the panel discussion on personal emergency response systems (PERS) showcased a technology with growing future potential. While PERS have been around for years, generally targeting seniors, evolving technology in cellular communication and GPS-based location services are expanding PERS possibilities.
