SecuritySpecifiers.com™
About Us
SecuritySpecifiers.com™ was established in 2010 by Ray Coulombe, a security industry veteran, to address the need for the physical security industry to more effectively engage with the specifier community. This engagement requires that the specifier community be identifiable and reachable by suppliers of security equipment and services; by those who implement designed systems; and by owners, end-users and architects. It also means that specifiers have the ability to access the information and people that contribute to solid system design. SecuritySpecifiers.com™ facilitates this process by providing a comprehensive searchable data base of security specifiers, access to suppliers’ A&E specifications, and a forum for information and interaction.
