PDQ APPLICATION FORMS

APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED!

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 31st 2020

Security companies and law enforcement agencies work together as partners, sharing information and communicating frequently to protect public safety and serve their communities. The Security Industry Alarm Coalition (SIAC) created the POLICE DISPATCH QUALITY program to promote cooperative best practices, to reduce unnecessary dispatches and give officers the most complete information when responding to alarms. We are looking for companies that exemplify an all out effort to reduce alarm dispatches from implementing ECC Enhanced Call Confirmation (2-calls) to training customers and working closely with law enforcement. The best overall collaboration will be honored with the North American PDQ Award. Co-sponsored by Security Sales & Integration, PPVAR and the IQ Certification Program!
