Alarm systems are not often considered as a tool and resource in the investigation of a loss. However, alarm systems can act as a silent witness to the event and provide crucial detailed technical and timeline information which can quantify if the system was armed, disarmed, bypassed, which device(s) activated, and where in the premises they activated chronologically. In addition, further examination of internal system programming of the control panel set can reveal other serious defects and irregularities in alarm system design, functionality, and operation.
Against the foregoing backdrop, if a security system is not properly designed, installed, programmed, serviced, tested, inspected, maintained and monitored, it can negatively impact its ability to function as intended. Consequently, property loss, serious personal injury and/or death can occur. Conversely, if the alarm system had functioned properly, the damages sustained could have been significantly limited, minimized and/or even averted. This seminar will provide the attendees with actual case studies where the alarm system failed and the reasons why; where the insured attempted to defraud the insurance carrier; and how to scientifically and technically use the forensic analysis of an alarm system in arson, fire, subrogation and fraud investigations.
