Nothing beats face-to-face communication. That's one of the reasons we typically conduct dealer meetings at or near each of our six central stations twice a year (spring & fall), host dealer appreciation events, and attend local and national trade shows and industry events. We also sponsor panel manufacturer and industry dealer training classes at many of our offices. There are so many opportunities for you to meet with someone from COPS that we added an "events" page to the news sections of our website. Join us at these upcoming events To check the schedule for additional events near you, visit http://copsmonitoring.com/events and click the star that represents our central station near you. The national trade shows and industry events that we attend will be listed below the map. If you would like a tour of any of our central stations, we would be happy to have you. Please contact us and we will get you in touch with the Account Executive or local Operations Manager. We're sponsoring an IQ Webinar on December 4th What does it take to defend your company from gigantic industry outsiders determined to carry off your hard earned RMR? How can you stimulate employees to be so engaging that customers and prospects can speak with competitors but won't be able to shake your team out of their head? How can you differentiate your company from everyone else selling the same products and services to make doing business with you a much more attractive choice? How many services are customers not buying from you, only because none of your employees are talking about them? If you're ready to reinforce the front line of a tactical competitive advantage, join us for IQ's compelling interactive webinar program featuring Bob Harris of Attrition Busters. Sponsored by COPS Monitoring, this is one webinar you can't afford to miss.

COPS Monitoring operates six central stations that are strategically located to give us the unparalleled ability to provide fast, efficient, and professional monitoring, even under the worst conditions. Five of our central stations are hot redundant and load sharing, which means that they are staffed 24/7 and each facility is networked with the others and actively shares in the handling of alarm signals to provide built-in redundancy. Our sixth central station in Maryland will be added to our network soon. We believe that reliability depends on more than a UL listing and fault-tolerant technology, it also relies on people. When local conditions such as blizzards, hurricanes, or other severe weather occurs, it not only increases alarm traffic, it can also present certain staffing challenges. When this happens to one of our locations, we overcome these complications and maintain fast response times by overstaffing our facilities that are not affected by the local situation. As a COPS Dealer, redundancy and load sharing are advantages that you have over your competition. Now you can highlight this advantage on your website! Just go to http://copsmonitoring.com/multisitemonitoring to watch the video and request instructions on how to place it on your website. Do you have a Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn account?
