Commander Ron McPherson, head of the Communications Branch, said:
“By working in partnership with the alarms industry we can ensure police resources are directed at genuine activations. We have made considerable progress over recent years”.
The annual awards honour companies with the fewest false alarms in the capital.
Winners were:
Large companies – Gold, Banham; Silver, Chubb; Bronze, Secom
Medium companies – Gold, London East Security Centre; Silver, Tara; Bronze, Capstan
