Public Safety Communications Entity (Not an Alarm Monitoring Company) is which party?

• A. First Party Caller
• B. Second Party Caller
• C. Third Party Caller
• D. Fourth Party Caller

Answer: (D)

In this framework, the four-party model maps where each entity sits in the alarm notification path. The Public Safety Communications Entity is not the alarm monitoring company, so it isn’t part of the monitoring step or the subscriber’s direct control. It sits downstream as the entity that ultimately communicates with public safety responders to coordinate a response. That makes it the fourth party in the chain. The other options would place it at earlier stages in the process, which doesn’t reflect its role in interfacing with public safety rather than monitoring or owning the alarm.
