Per Mar Security earns Five Diamond certification from TMA

DAVENPORT, Iowa – Per Mar Security Services, a residential and commercial security solutions provider, has received the prestigious “Five Diamond Certification” from The Monitoring Association (TMA).

Five Diamond Certification is granted to monitoring centers that meet the five points of excellence:

• Commitment to ongoing job-related education and testing by having 100% of its monitoring center operators certified using the TMA online training series on industry best practices.
• Commitment to random inspections and quality criteria standards by a nationally recognized testing laboratory such as FM Approvals, Intertek/ETL and UL.
• Commitment to raising the industry standards through TMA membership and participation in its activities.
• Commitment to reducing false dispatches.
• Commitment to the highest levels of customer service.

TMA’s Five Diamond designation means, in particular, that a monitoring company has demonstrated an exceptionally high degree of responsibility to their local community and their customers through the investment of time, money and commitment to quality operator training.

In 2022, Five Diamond has expanded to include TMA Member video monitoring companies that are hosted by a UL827 registered TMA member data center and fulfill all other program requirements. There are approximately 2,700 monitoring centers in the United States that communicate and interact with police, fire and emergency services agencies. Of this group, fewer than 130 monitoring centers have achieved the Five Diamond designation, setting these companies apart.
