In collaboration with SDM, five awards are presented annually to recognize excellence demonstrated by monitoring centers and outstanding monitoring professionals.

Central stations and the monitoring professionals who work there offer inspiration and exemplary ideas to the security industry, through their knowledge, work and achievements.  

The Monitoring Association (TMA) is pleased to announce the winners of its 2022 Excellence Awards. This year’s awards were presented virtually on Monday, April 25 by TMA President Morgan Hertel and the award sponsor, SDM Magazine.

TMA’s Monitoring Center Excellence Awards are co-sponsored by SDM Magazine, which will publish a feature story on the winners later this summer.

Whenever a natural disaster or tragedy strikes, many invoke the words of popular children’s television host Fred Rogers, told to him by his mother: “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” For these Monitoring Center Excellence Award Winners, the helpers are in the central station, helping all the time, even when they’re off the clock.

The Monitoring Association (TMA) announced the finalists for its 2021 Excellence Awards. 

These awards recognize monitoring centers and their outstanding personnel who perform in the highest professional manner, demonstrating exceptional service to their customers and community. 

The Monitoring Association (TMA), in partnership with SDM, invite professional monitoring centers to enter the Excellence Awards competition for 2020. 

Since 2006, The Monitoring Association (TMA) has been recognizing the top performers in monitoring with its TMA Monitoring Center Excellence Awards (previously called the Central Station Awards). The Excellence Awards, hosted by TMA and co-sponsored by SDM Magazine, recognize exceptional personnel and monitoring centers in the industry (both TMA members and non-members) that are certified by an approved Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).

The Monitoring Association (TMA) announced the 12 finalists for the 2019 TMA Excellence Awards.
