The system must comply with federal, state, and local privacy and security standards and allow the CMPD to maintain full control over its data and access. All proposing Companies must hold a valid license issued by the North Carolina Alarm Systems Licensing Board and shall remain in full compliance with North Carolina General Statute § 20-183.31 – Regulation of Use – for the duration of the contract.
