The Alarm Monitoring Company (AMCO) is a UK-based burglar alarm company specialising in monitored alarm systems and alarm monitoring services. The company provides security systems to domestic and business properties, as well as public sector organisations. ==History== The company was founded in 1995 by Yorkshire-based Les Quigley as a company specialising in monitored security. Quigley set up AMCO after his experiences running a previous more generalist alarm company called No. 6 Group - named after No.6 Group Bomber Command which was based at its Allerton Castle headquarters. Prior to working in the security industry, Les Quigley was a pilot in the Royal Air Force, and an RAF Cranwell scholar.〔(89 Entry scholars RAF Cranwell )〕 Most recently Les Quigley's son Christopher Quigley joined the company board. Christopher Quigley is also a co-founder of Team Rubber, and has previously advised U.S. President Barack Obama and the Coalition government.〔(Guardian Newspaper Profile on AMCO board member Christopher Quigley )〕 AMCO has always specialised in monitored burglar alarms, and is a retailer of immediate audio-response monitored alarm systems (also known as listen in alarm monitoring). In the UK, competitors include ADT, Secom and Chubb. In 2010, AMCO used the internet to crowd-source ideas from the public on how to create the Ultimate Alarm System. This project - 'The Ultimate Alarm Project',〔(AMCO's Ultimate Alarm Project Homepage )〕 created notability for AMCO. Coverage for the project included technology blogs MSN,〔(MSN Technolog article on AMCO's work )〕 Mashable and Engadget 〔(Engadget article on AMCO )〕 and over 117,000 views for the project videos on YouTube.〔( YouTube video with 117,000 views featuring AMCO's Ultimate Alarm Project )〕 In August 2011, due to expansion, AMCO launched the AMCO Alarm Academy〔( AMCO Alarm Academy )〕 programme to train up new engineers as alarm and CCTV installers and managers. The training programme is both residential and field-based, with students spending the first 4 weeks based in the Alarm Academy Training HQ in Easingwold, and then spending the next 4 weeks shadowing existing AMCO engineers out in the field. The Academy took its first trainees on August 15, 2011. AMCO is privately owned, with all shares held by the Quigley family. The companies headquarters are in Easingwold, North Yorkshire (UK) . AMCO operate alarm engineers across all regions of Great Britain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AMCO Burglar Alarm Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
