The Louisiana Life Safety & Security Association (LLSSA) hosted its Region 3 State Meeting on August 15th just outside in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The event was held at Bayou Rum Distiller, the oldest family-owned and operated sugar mill in the United States. This event brought together integrators, industry vendors, the State Fire Marshals office and local Communication Center to discuss the latest advancements, best practices, and future directions for the profession.
With a focus on fostering collaboration and innovation, the LLSSA State Meeting featured a dynamic program of CEU classes, legislative updates, and presentations with open discussions. The event was a resounding success, drawing more than 20 attendees from the Lake Charles area.
Key highlights of the meeting included:
- CEU Classes: Industry experts Alarm Monitoring Services, DSC/JCI, Alarm.com, and United Central Control shared their insights on emerging trends in life safety and property protection.
- State Meeting Presentations: Speakers shared their insights on current changes to legislature and ways in which those in attendance could aid in the fight against false alarms that are crippling many communication centers and local police and fire departments. Notable speakers included Captain Ricky Roubique of the State Fire Marshal’s Office Special Services Division and Richard McGuire or the Calcasieu Communications Department.
- Networking Opportunities: The event provided ample opportunities for professionals to connect and collaborate, including a Bayou Rum Tour and Tasting.
“The Bayou Rum Distillery was a nice location for the Region 3 State Meeting,” said United Central Control Account Executive, Felipe Presas. “The content given by the presenters addressed active and current issues especially where alarm monitoring is leading to Remote Video Monitoring.”
The LLSSA extends its gratitude to all speakers, sponsors, and volunteers who made the event possible. Special thanks go to the Bayou Rum Distillery for their exceptional hospitality and support.
