I have known Jeffrey since we grew up together in North Miami Beach, Florida, and we quickly became the best of friends. Jeffrey is the "Jack Nicholas" of the security industry. From an early age, in the late 1960's Jeffrey developed a passion for a number of hobbies, the most important of which was developing alarm systems. As youngsters, I would visit Jeffrey's house on almost a daily basis, and almost every day, Jeffrey would have another type of alarm system, which he totally put together from scratch. His dedication to the development of alarm systems continued through the years, when Jeffrey finally realized that he can put his unique gift on the market, and he founded his own security company. His life-long experience and dedication in the security business is only surpassed by his reputation and knowledge of the security industry as a whole. I would recommend Jeffrey as an expert relating to all areas of the security industry without hesitation.

Subject: Jeffrey D. Zwirn, CPP
President, IDS Research & Development, Inc.
Teaneck, New Jersey

This open correspondence is to serve as a warm letter of appreciation for alarm system consultant Jeffrey Zwirn, CPP, who was an invited Executive Guest Lecturer at our University in April of 2004. Jeffrey made three separate presentations on fire and security alarm systems to undergraduate students enrolled in assets protection and security, and fire safety engineering technology programs. In these presentations, he provided an overview of security and fire alarm systems; discussed alarm system liability issues; and examined terrorism and homeland security with an emphasis on alternative uses of alarm system technology.

Each presentation was exceptional. Jeffrey was well organized, his slides were highly illustrative, and his enthusiasm was boundless. He tailored each presentation to the appropriate audience and engaged the students by talking about real issues and cases, and by showing slides and asking questions that encouraged them to think as professionals. For example, not only did he discuss appropriate uses of fire and burglar alarm hardware and related physical security equipment, he discussed inappropriate uses of this equipment, and showed slides of installed equipment that was improperly used and/or maintained. As part of these discussions, he provided invaluable insight on and demonstrated the need for proper alarm system policies and procedures, and employee training.

 We felt very fortunate that he was able to visit our University and to share his professional knowledge and experiences with our students.
