The Metropolitan Burglar and Fire Alarm Association
of
New York, Inc.

We are one of the oldest associations of burglar and fire alarm professionals in the United States. Many of our founding members can trace  their history back to the very beginnings of the electronic protection industry. 

The Association's mission is to support and promote the electronic security industry and life safety providers in the Metropolitan New York City and Long Island Area, and to assist electronic security dealers with their mission to protect the public from criminal and life safety threats.

We maintain an extensive website for both our members and the general public.

To accomplish our mission we provide training, governmental interface, and networking services for security professionals. 

Membership is open to professional electronic security system dealers and installers, locksmiths, service providers, central monitoring stations, and related equipment manufacturers. A membership application is on line.

We are your LOCAL association run by and for security professionals. The MBFAA endeavors to promote public safety, reduce false alarms, provide liaison to police and fire departments, and to advocate public policy so as to provide a stable business climate for our members.

We provide training to enable our members to complete the New York State licensing requirements administered by the Department of State.

For our members, the site provides helpful information on technical and business matters and association business.

For the general public, the site provides information on security in general and encourages consumers to purchase security systems from MBFAA members who are licensed dealers.

We provide a free web site business listing for our members. And a cross listing for help wanted and services rendered. This is where members can advertise for help wanted and sub-contractors can advertise for the kind of work they do.

We encourage dealer networking both on our web site and at our meetings.

We routinely provide critical information on important issues such as state licensing, permits, regulations, Fire Department issues, Police Department issues, false alarm reduction, and technology.
