Across the country, state laws are evolving on a constant basis to address the problem of false alarm signals. The daily operation of alarm companies across the United States is critical and essential to the success of reducing the number of false alarm dispatches.

This course provides a foundation for alarm contractors to help reduce false alarms by educating their customers about proper alarm operation, the role of law enforcement, and the technical responsibility of the alarm contractor.
