The Five Diamond designation is granted annually to alarm monitoring centers that satisfy all the requirements of The Monitoring Association’s “five points of excellence,” which include a 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;
• random inspections and quality criteria standards by a nationally recognized testing laboratory such as FM Approvals, Intertek/ETL and UL;
• raising the industry standards through TMA membership and participation in its activities;
• reducing false dispatches; and
• the highest levels of customer service.

The TMA’s Five Diamond designation specifically signifies that a monitoring company has demonstrated an exceptionally high degree of responsibility to its local communities.

In order to achieve the Five Diamond designation, each and every monitoring operator must pass the TMA course as well as demonstrate proficiency in and knowledge of:

• the alarm confirmation process, which helps reduce false alarms;
• communications with Public Service Answering Points, such as the Emergency 911 centers;
• electronic communications equipment, including, cellular, radio and internet communication systems;
