Reliance Protectron 2011 Circle of Excellence Awards


Titan Alarm LTD was the proud recipient of several dealer awards at the Reliance Protectron 2011 Circle of Excellence Awards ceremony held in Ottawa, Ontario on October 3, 2011. Graham Wood, the President of Titan Alarm LTD and Tyler Hatch, the Vice President of Sales Operations, represented Titan Alarm LTD at the presentation. These awards were particularly meaningful since Titan Alarm only recently became affiliated as a dealer with Reliance Protectron in April of 2011. Reliance Protectron currently works with one hundred and forty-eight (148) dealers. As such, Titan Alarm had extensive competition for these honors. Notwithstanding this competition, Titan Alarm was recognized for its extraordinary achievements at this ceremonial event. Titan Alarm LTD was given the “Life Safety”, “Diamond” and “Noteworthy” dealer awards in acknowledgment for its outstanding performance as a dealer in the Reliance Protectron dealer network.

Titan Alarm was the designated winner of the “Life Safety” dealer award. The criteria for the Life Safety award is that it is given to the dealer with the highest percentage of overall sales that include a life safety component such as a smoke or CO. Notwithstanding Titan Alarm’s recent membership into the Reliance Protectron network, it still achieved the requisite highest percentage to qualify for this award. During the presentation, the company was specifically recognized for its commitment to honoring its vision of prioritizing the protection of families and for incorporating the inclusion of at least one life safety device into all of its sales. Titan Alarm LTD is extremely proud of this particular award because it confirms that it is abiding by its core values.

Titan Alarm LTD was also presented with the Noteworthy Performance dealer award. This award was extremely meaningful to the company because the presentation of this award recognized virtually every facet of the company’s structure in realizing this achievement. Titan Alarm was credited with its strong company culture, exceptional sales paradigm in selling longer term contracts, establishing a state-of-the-art call center to support all of its operations, achieving a record production of fifteen thousand accounts and inspiring Reliance to take its own organization to the next level. The entire organization takes great pride in this accomplishment.

Titan Alarm LTD was also the recipient of the “Diamond Dealer” award. The criteria for this award is to achieve over one thousand and eight hundred sales between August 2010 and July 2011. Titan Alarm most definite exceeded this level of production. Titan’s highly impressive sales production was again recognized during the presentation of this award. Titan Alarm LTD would like to thank Reliance Protectron for hosting the 2011 Circle of Excellence dealer awards ceremony. It is extremely rewarding to be recognized by an organization that has been unequivocally supportive, professional and provided quintessential industry leadership to our organization as a dealer. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.

Protection from Property Crimes


For many homeowners, property crimes can be a source of concern and trepidation. Property crimes include burglary, larceny, theft, arson and vandalism which involve the taking (or damaging, in the case of arson and vandalism) of money without force or threat of force to a victim. There is also the concern of robbery which involves force or threat of force and/or putting the victim in fear and is considered a violent crime. This can be more disturbing because the safety and well-being of people are also at risk. Although reported cases have decreased over the recent years, it still occurs in many states. Homes are mostly filled with “hot products” such as cash, jewelry, electronics and gadgets that are easily targeted because they are valuable, removable, concealable, and can be easily disposed. Any home and even secured banks and commercial establishments can be victimized by criminals. These crimes are major issues that can be avoided with the use of modern security equipment.

There are now many devices that are designed to detect unauthorized entry and send alerts for proper action. These devices use sensors by passive infrared motion, ultrasound, vibration, electric or magnetic fields, or microwaves. Motion sensors and glass break sensors are usually installed at main doors, windows, and garage doors since they are also the most common entries used by burglars or robbers. Motion sensors detect the opening and closing of doors and windows, as well as drawers, cabinets and other items. Most alarm dealers suggest individual devices be connected to create a system for easy application and monitoring. Some people also include fire protection in their alarm system. Heat alarms, freeze alarms and flood/water sensors can be easily integrated into any alarm system. A dependable security alarm company can provide good quality equipment and services for the protection of homes or any facility.

In Alberta, Canada, homeowners can go to Titan Alarm for their security and protection needs. Titan Alarm Security Company provides equipment as well as security packages to meet the needs of any customer. This alarm company aims to provide the feeling of security and serenity that is most valuable and sought after by home and business owners. Protecting loved ones and valuable possessions is easy with Titan Alarm Company.

Dangers and Preventive Measures for Fires Tips from Titan Alarm Ltd.


Titan Alarm LTD is committed to continually researching the methodologies used for fire prevention so that it may deliver state-of-the-art technologies to its subscribers designed for the prevention, detection and termination of fire for the promotion of household safety.

In the pursuit of this aspiration, Titan Alarm regularly reviews industry publications to discover current studies and trends with respect to systems being utilized for fire safety so that its own equipment will be commensurate with these developments. We recently came across an article which may be located at the following website: http://www.edmontonjournal.com/mobile/iphone/story.html?id=5151244. This article entitled, “Fighting Fire With Fire” describes the extraordinary efforts and accomplishments of an expert by the name of George Hadjisophocleous to study the causes and effects of fire as well as numerous methods of fire detection, prevention methods of extinguishing fires. This article describes the incredible and continuing voyage of discovery of this insightful engineer as he continues to study the impact of various methods of fire detection and termination of existing fires.

In the article, the author references numerous important facts about fires which we at Titan Alarm believe are highly significant and compelling and merit repetition. The reason we believe these facts to be of such importance and urgency is because in so many cases, the fires were deemed to be preventable. As such, when such tragedy can be averted, logic would dictate that proper preventative measures should be taken to safeguard against fire related issues. These facts include but are not limited to the following:

The article indicates that between the years 2000 and 2009, 40% of the fatal fires in the Ontario area occurred between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The article continues to state that half of these fires were considered to be PREVENTABLE by the Office of the Fire Marshall.The article indicates that 86% of 833 fatal fires involved residential fires. The article isolates the causes of many of these fatal house fires to the following: cigarette smoking (17%), arson (13%) cooking (10%), mishandled matches or lighters (6%), electrical wiring problems (4%) or candles (3%). The article states that in 36% of these situations the smoke alarms were either not present or not operating properly.

The article references a 2004 study by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology which found that the typical modern fire smoulders longer, but burns hotter and faster than when smoke alarms were introduced in the 1970s. Ultimately, these facts suggest that a significant percentage of fatal fires may be prevented with the proper preventative measures being taken. This does not even address the issue of non-fatal fires which also present significant dangers to homes and families. Titan Alarm LTD is proud to be part of an industry that is working toward becoming part of the solution to reducing theses fire related tragedies.

It is an integral part of the mission of Titan Alarm, Ltd. to honor a steadfast commitment to give back the global community which has generously enabled it to realize such success. Such charity takes the form of both monetary donations as well as contributions of time and energy to important and worthwhile humanitarian causes. The Chief Executive Officer of Titan Alarm believes strongly in the concept of leading by example and his history of personal sacrifice and magnanimous bequests serve as noble illustrations of the behavior that the company seeks for its staff members to aspire to.

Graham Woods has always aimed to extend beyond his entrepreneurial ambitions and to give back to those less fortunate. One of Graham’s most gratifying experiences involved a personal journey he took to Honduras. He accompanied a group of people for two (2) weeks during which he worked tirelessly one a project which successfully raised one hundred and eighty thousand dollars ($180,000.00). However, this trip was not limited to monetary fund raising efforts. Graham participated in a true labor of love constructing four (4) homes for needy families and helping to restore electricity to another eight (8) homes for families desperately in need of the most basic supplies. The level of satisfaction from this venture is immeasurable.

Graham considered himself to be blessed with another opportunity to assist a family to realize its dreams. Specifically, Graham was able to grant the family of a twenty-two (22) year old terminally ill woman their final wish. This woman’s last wish was to take a trip to Ireland with her family. Graham financed this entire trip for her family.Graham derived an indescribably sense of satisfaction from being able to share the good fortune that he has received with a family in crisis.

Titan Alarm plans to continue in the fine tradition which Graham Wood has brilliantly begun. The organization will instill the values of charity in every aspect of the company. It will incorporate these concept in several programs including but not limited to company holiday donations to various charities, company matching of donations by representatives, etc.
