We have had zero cancellations due to a sense of poor/no Police response. As a matter of fact, we are having people sign up ONLY to either get the insurance discount, or because their insurance company required it (read that as Chubb). We had two people just last week that want ONLY fire monitoring in their home and to text the subscriber only if the burg alarm goes off. These houses were $2.5 & $6 million Much of this is due to being in an affluent DC suburb. Our average house value is about $1.2 million. We are even getting a lot of requests for sprinkler monitoring for the homes that have it as well as water or flood detection. In short, the insurance industry is adding far more accounts that poor policing may be losing. Dave Huthwaite Digital Security, Inc. Since 1987 ************************** Response ************************** Thank goodness to the insurance industry who offers discounts for alarm service and in many cases won't write the insurance without alarm services. Thank goodness to the municipalities that require fire alarm in commercial structures and require inspection and monitoring. Thank goodness to landlords who require that their tenants install cameras and other security devices. Thank goodness to municipalities that are requiring sprinkler systems in new homes that need alarm monitoring Thank goodness to [some] news outlets that remind us [daily] that crime is rampant. Thank goodness to all you alarm dealers who protect the public and get your updated contracts from K&K. Seriously, thanks for contributing. Thanks again. ****************************** To order up to date Standard Form Alarm / Security / Fire and related Agreements click here: www.alarmcontracts.com *************************** CONCIERGE LAWYER SERVICE PROGRAM FOR THE ALARM INDUSTRY - You can check out the program and sign up here: https://www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/concierge or contact our Program Coordinator Stacy Spector, Esq at 516 747 6700 x 304. *********************** ALARM ARTICLES: You can always read our Articles on our website at ww.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/alarm-articles updated daily ******************** THE ALARM EXCHANGE - the alarm industries leading classified and business exchange - updated daily ************************* Wondering how much your alarm company is worth?
