False alarm education online

I was going through my email this morning upon return from my vacation last week when I came across this small news item from the Bay Area News Group's timesheraldonline.com. The news is from Vallejo, Calif. False alarms are obviously a huge problem, and it's great to see municipalities stepping in and helping out by providing end users a way to not only learn how to use their alarms, but also to learn why false alarms are such a big deal. The industry's various associations also have online training in false alarm awareness. CSAA has a course found here, while FARA has options here. SIA points out many municipalities are beginning to offer false alarm training/awareness schools and programs to help fight the problem. Especially in today's economy, let's all do our part to help solve the problem.
