$40K Back in the Budget: Why A Colorado District Revamped Its Alarm System Across 18 Sites
Legacy alarm systems spend taxpayer dollars in all the wrong places. A false alarm sends an officer out in the middle of the night, on overtime and racking up mileage, to a site where no one can check the cameras remotely or say what tripped the sensor. Add $500 service visits just to swap a battery, per-site fines, and monitoring vendors calling numbers that haven't worked in years, and you're paying a premium to stay in the dark.
Pikes Peak Library District moved past that model. Michael Brantner, Chief Facilities & Security Officer, oversees emergency management and physical security for 18 buildings across 2,500 square miles of El Paso County, with a lean team. He'll share what was broken, how his team rebuilt around video-verified alarms and centralized monitoring, and the results since.
What you'll learn in this 45-minute live webinar:
The true cost of legacy alarms: after-hours overtime and mileage, $500+ service calls, recurring fines, and vendors who never call the right people.
Video-verified response: confirming real threats, eliminating needless dispatches, and responding faster when it counts.
Centralized monitoring at scale: 18 buildings, 2,500 square miles, one platform, and a small team.
Putting the savings to work: how a more reliable, lower-cost alarm operation freed up budget and confidence to extend public access hours.
If you lead security, facilities, emergency management, or operations at a city, county, library, school district, or parks and rec agency, and you're tired of paying overtime for false alarms, chasing service calls, and finding out what happened the next morning, then this webinar is for you.
