Greetings!

For my “Monitor This!” debut, I'd like to use this space to introduce myself, now that I've completed my switch to associate editor at Security Systems News.
My name is Leif Kothe, and I've covered the security industry since September 2012, when I joined SSN as web editor. In that capacity, I covered—and learned about—most facets of the security industry, while also writing for other trade journals at United Publications, not all of them security-related. The position was as edifying as it was unfocused. As associate editor, I welcome the opportunity to zoom in on the central station side of things. And I am equally eager to cover the legislative topics of most relevance to the industry.
My wish is to make the transition as seamless as possible. In the interest of continuity, you'll find that we've kept many things the same. The blog has retained its title, it occupies the same spot on the homepage, and it will still cover topics germane to central station alarm monitoring.
With that said, I encourage those in the monitoring space not to hesitate to reach out to me, whether to offer news leads, or to simply introduce yourselves. In my brief time covering security, I've found the industry nothing but welcoming, and I look forward to exploring the industry further and hearing your stories in the process.
