An Alarm Company Operator may employ individuals to perform which duties?

• A. Only monitor and service alarms.
• B. Install, maintain, alter, sell on premises, monitor or service alarm systems, or respond to an alarm system.
• C. Only install and configure hardware.
• D. Only handle administrative tasks.

Answer: (B)

An Alarm Company Operator can rely on staff to perform the full range of alarm-system work needed to run the business. This includes installing, maintaining, or altering systems, performing on-premises sales, monitoring and servicing alarm systems, and even responding to alarms. The breadth of duties covers the entire lifecycle of an alarm system from setup to action during an incident, allowing the operator to delegate these tasks to qualified personnel under proper licensing and supervision. The other options are too narrow, omitting essential activities like installation, sales on premises, or responding to alarms, which are all part of providing a complete alarm-service operation.
