a)If the central station has multiple locations then the totals must be broken down by each central station location that is responsible for delivering monitoring services.

b)Certificated account activity shall include the statistics as specified in 10.2.(a) - (g).

•10.2.2 - These reporting requirements are listed below:

a)As a minimum. the most recent full month in which 100 or more alarm investigations have occurred, shall be used;

See 10.1.3(i).
