CHECK YOUR LISTING FOR ACCURACY
 - security providers and organizations

    Check that all contact information is accurate and that you appear in the correct headings (listings are free). How do you check if your organization is listed at all? Go to the A to Z Register. Scroll down to the organizational name (alphabetical by name).

• NOT LISTED?  If you are not listed in the A to Z Register, you are not listed anywhere in the Register. Contact us. See below.

• LISTED BUT INFORMATION NEEDS CORRECTION OR ALTERATION?  A listing there indicates the Headings you are listed under, e.g., CCTV, GUARDS, etc., may indicate the Geographic Service Area that you primarily serve, e.g., INTER=International US=United States, OHIO or SW OH. It may indicate whether you serve a particular type of market, e.g. RESidental, COMmercial, etc. Other descriptive information is possible to appear in the general parenthetical in the listing.

    In either case send us an email with all information until the online registration form is ready. See a listing in the A to Z Register that seems complete and use that as a guide to the information that should appear. 

Please send us complete contact information and descriptions, website if it exists, area code and telephone, address, your type of organization, e.g., dealer, rep., distributor, what memberships consists of if an association, etc., and your relationship to this organization, whatever it may be, your name and title.
