I t is the magic of modern telecommunications technology which enables Counterforce to achieve such a feat. Satellites and thousands of land switching networks provide instantaneous communication so that alarms generated anywhere in North America can be handled by operators in the Counterforce Monitoring Station moments after they occur. And while this technology is available to everyone, of the thousands of monitoring companies in existence today, less than five percent take advantage of it. It is the utilization of this technology, and the company's commitment to be a leader in the alarm monitoring industry, which puts Counterforce at the top of the chart as far as monitoring companies are concerned. T his is a serious business.
Situations involve crisis, sometimes life or death.
There is no time to lose when a house is on fire or a gun is pointed at someone's head. Signals pour into the station, within seconds operators swing into action, first calling the premise to verify, then dispatching police, fire and other emergency services, and notifying responsible parties of any action taken. T he process can be stressful, but the rewards are great. Operators know their actions may save someone's life or prevent the destruction and loss of property.
