New Standard: A Paradigm Shift in Law Enforcement Response

Law enforcement has struggled with false intrusion alarms for decades. The Monitoring Association (TMA) initiated the development of a ground-breaking standard in 2021. In this informative session, learn how the Alarm Validation Standard (TMA-AVS-01) addresses the false alarm issue. By utilizing the trove of data that security and alarm systems generate, emergency communication centers (ECCs) are able to provide first responders with a quantifiable event rating and detailed information prior to arrival on the scene. This standard is a revolutionary shift in standardizing how alarms are classified by monitoring centers and improving how they are classified and transmitted to ECCs. Responders will have the data needed to make more informed decisions. The TMA-AVS-01 is designed to save the lives of first responders.
