Get to know the neighborhood police officer.

I'm not joking.... They will know which INSTALLERS cause the most
false alarms. In one town ADT will have fewer false alarms. In
another it will be Brinks.

Also make sure you ask the cops how MANY of each brand (ADT/Brinks/etc.)
are installed. Obviously, the more systems are installed, the more
false alarms there will be.....
