TECHNOLOGY: We are the only wholesale monitoring company with its own UL listed proprietar y monitoring platform. Generations ™ was written and continues to be developed by our in-house staf f of programmers, which gives COPS the unique abilit y to quickly adopt the next generation of revenue-creating ser vices for our Dealers and outpace the progressing demands of our quickly evolving industr y. The disaster preparedness/recovery capabilities, systems fault tolerance, and critical equipment infrastructure deployed across our network of central stations far exceed UL requirements. As an added layer of protection, we also have a live backup of our Generations ™ monitoring platform deployed off-site in one of the world's most advanced and secure, data centers in Nevada. 100% WHOLESALE MONITORING: We do not sell, install, own accounts, or compete with our dealers the way other monitoring companies do. 100% wholesale monitoring means COPS is 100% focused on supporting your company with professional monitoring and the tools you need to run your business and improve your bottom line. COPS is UL listed, FM approved, IQ certified, has more TMA Five Diamond certified central stations than any other wholesale monitoring company, and we are proud to have been recognized as TMA Central Station of the Year. RELIABILITY: We have been improving redundant monitoring since we opened our second site in 2004. Now, our award-winning network of 6 hot- redundant and load-sharing central stations is trusted by thousands of alarm dealers to safeguard over 2.1 million subscribers across the US, Canada, and the Caribbean. The result? Our average response time to nearly 4 million alarm signals handled by our dispatchers over the past 12 months... was just 13.1 seconds! Our unique distributed staffing model heightens the reliability of our central stations by further reducing our dependency on any one site. We also have the unique ability to allocate our dispatchers and resources to maintain (or improve) response times during hurricanes, blizzards, floods, and other extreme situations that cripple other monitoring companies. STABILITY: In an industry flush with acquisitions, will the monitoring company you choose today be there for you tomorrow? COPS will. Since 1978, we have been known for delivering high-quality, third party monitoring services to independent alarm dealers and their subscribers. Our ongoing commitment to reinvest in our employees, central stations, and dealer base has helped make COPS the: #1 PROFESSIONAL MONITORING COMPANY IN THE INDUSTRY. Award-winning network of UL listed central stations located in New Jersey, Arizona, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, and Maryland. PEOPLE: Our team of over 700 highly trained and dedicated employees are at the core of our success. Yet even at our size and strength, our regional central station approach allows us to maintain our closely guarded culture and tight-knit team atmosphere so we can continue to deliver the personable "hometown" service that is usually associated with much smaller companies.
