I just got a release from COPS Monitoring. It appears one of their own--Maria Malice, vice president of special projects--has won the prestigious Alarm Person of the Year award from the Public Safety Committee of the Arizona Alarm Association (AzAA) for the second year in a row.
Here's the release:
Maria Malice, vice president of special projects at COPS Monitoring was voted Alarm Person of the Year by the Public Safety Committee of the Arizona Alarm Association (AzAA) for the second year in a row. According to the voting criteria, the person should present a professional image as well as offer positive contributions including ideas, time spent, dedication to the false alarm prevention program and implementation and completion of tasks in conjunction with the Public Safety Committee. Malice has been instrumental in the planning and set up of the Public Safety Days event, and has spent a lot of time on statewide licensing legislation that will be submitted for the next Legislative Session that starts in January. Held in September, the Public Safety Day event is specifically designed for alarm coordinators, security company owners and staff, monitoring station personnel and others in the security industry. The full schedule included a NICET Level I-II Test Prep Fire Alarm Class, various seminars and the Public Safety Appreciation Dinner. Malice, currently the Arizona Alarm Association president, was honored at the annual dinner, which was held at Don & Charlies’ Restaurant in Scottsdale. The dinner also provides the opportunity for alarm coordinators, their Chiefs of Police or Sheriffs, and alarm companies to discuss issues of concern. "It was truly a surprise to hear that I had been honored with this award a second time,” said Malice. “For me, working with the Public Safety Committee and serving the industry in the great state of Arizona is both an honor and a privilege.”Congratulations Maria!
