Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Yes our targets were achieved. Since, installation our security system has alerted us to a couple of times when our front door wasn't locked correctly and the wind caught the door and blew it open. Also, another good part of the system is that we have 40 seconds to get all our doors open and a security number types in on our main keypad before the alarm will go off. The alarm went off a couple of times on our employees who could not get the above accomplished on time. Consequently, the police responded right away. Therefore, we had good response time from the police in case if it would have been a real burglar. We are pleased with the performance of our security system and are sure that it will meet our needs well into the future.
