Education Is Key

We believe the key to reducing false alarms is user and installer education. Make sure when you purchase an alarm system that your MSA alarm professional explains how to use the system thoroughly to everyone who is going to use it. If you have questions ask them. The MSA alarm professional is there to help you.

Communication Is Essential

If your equipment malfunctions immediately call your alarm company. If you forget how to use the system refer to your manual or call the alarm company. They key is communication and education. MSA members are trained to help you!

Use a Professional MSA Member

When selecting a company to install and monitor your system, make sure the company is a member of the Mississippi Security Association (MSA).

• MSA members are dedicated to providing the highest level of service and also adhere to a stringent Code of Ethics. As part of the Code of Ethics our association members follow strict guidelines to help reduce false alarms.

As professional security installers we believe it is our responsibility to help combat false alarms.

• MSA members work hard everyday to prevent false alarms and we take pride in the work we have done to reduce false alarms, but we need your help.
• MSA members regularly are given information on how to reduce false alarms. Our members also attend conventions and meetings on false alarm prevention and under law must take classes to keep them up-to-date on installation practices including false alarm prevention.
