LICENSING

Rapid Response Monitoring maintains licenses in all areas that require them for monitoring. Additionally, our Licensing and Certifications Manager is a member of the Installation Quality (IQ) Board and works continuously to ensure that Rapid Response Dealers are in compliance with all municipal and state ordinances throughout the United States. The manager is an approved Facility Security Officer (FSO) and an advocate and experienced resource for our Dealer network in meeting the highest industry standards.

All Rapid Dealers must be properly licensed in states in which they are doing business. If they are just starting up and do not possess a required license, we provide relevant contact information to get them started, along with an idea of what they’ll need to do in order to obtain the license.

We also assist Dealers who are looking to expand their business into other states by giving them licensing information on those specific states.

The Licensing Department can also assist with questions regarding licenses and permits at the city and county level.

We also keep track of which jurisdictions have special dispatch requirements such as Verified Response or Enhanced Call Verification (ECV). We will send update notifications to Dealers with accounts in affected areas when we hear of a new dispatch rule in a specific jurisdiction.
