Frisco, Texas (March 30, 2022) – John Loud, president of LOUD Security Systems, will receive the prestigious recognition of the William N. Moody Award at the 2022 Electronic Security EXPO Public Safety and Networking Luncheon in Fort Worth, Texas. Created in 2004 by the Security Industry Alarm Coalition (SIAC), the Moody Award is given annually to an individual who demonstrates a passion for advancing positive alarm management and best industry practices.
“John took a leadership role as Vice President of the Electronic Security Association (ESA) and president of LOUD Security to encourage Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp to sign and the Georgia legislature to pass a bill that bans counties and municipalities from fining alarm companies for false alarms generated by a customer,” said Stan Martin, SIAC Executive Director. “This groundbreaking legislation came in response to the decision by the city of Sandy Springs to fine alarm companies for false alarms.
“John’s leadership roles in ESA and the Georgia Electronic Life Safety & Systems Association (GELSSA) demonstrate a career-long commitment to helping our industry protect life and property through cooperation with public officials and public safety organizations, said Martin. “The successful passage of the Georgia legislation demonstrates his commitment and effectiveness in these endeavors.”
“While I am delighted at this recognition, it is important to note that this was a group effort by dozens of committed individuals in our industry and the state legislature who helped make sure that common sense prevailed in Georgia,” said Loud. “Our industry needs to continue to support our state and local alarm associations as well as SIAC so that we are ready to work with any community that wishes to reduce unnecessary dispatches with a proven model and experts ready to assist.”
