Alarm management committees are a vivid example of how law enforcement and the alarm industry are working together to solve challenges specific to their communities by putting successful alarm management practices into effect. Alarm management committees are established at the state level by the police chiefs association. The committees are comprised of three police chiefs and three industry members and one representative of SIAC with the charge to develop model programs to reduce unnecessary alarm dispatches and provide better service to their statewide communities. To date, alarm management committees have been established in Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, Alabama, Oklahoma, Virginia, Indiana, Connecticut, South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi and Texas.
