Train citizens
for alarm usage |
| |
We help educate citizens for proper alarm
usage and increase their awareness of the
false alarm reduction program. Our program
identifies top one percent to five percent
of residents/businesses responsible for the
maximum number of false alarm calls and sends
them the training material (brochures, reports,
voice-enabled multi-media CDs). The training
material lets them read, listen, see, and
learn about the false reduction program.
It is observed that businesses causing high
false alarms are the result of the high turnover
of facility managers and the absence of the
required training for their replacement. The
visiting police officers may drop off the
training material to such businesses to educate
them about the precautions they need to take
to minimize false alarms. |

 |
|
Timely response to citizen
queries
|
| |
Extremely efficient call administration
and prompt support personnel ensure that
citizens receive timely and effective response
to their queries. Specialized reports for
number of inbound calls received from customers
seeking clarification further assist in
assessing and taking required measures to
reduce the number of inbound calls. |

 |
|
