The Pasco County, Fla., Emergency Services 9-1-1 Communications Center (ECC) is the 90th ECC in the U.S. and the 10th ECC in the state of Florida to implement TMA’s ASAP service.
Pasco County went live on Tuesday, June 13th and Wednesday, June 14th with Vector Security, Rapid Response Monitoring, Securitas, Affiliated Monitoring, AT&T Digital Life, Tyco (Johnson Controls), Security Central, Protection One, National Monitoring Center, Vivint, Stanley Security, Guardian Protection, Alert 360 and ADS Security.
