COPS Monitoring and NAPCO Partner to Support Tunnel to Towers Foundation

SARASOTA, Fla. – Connected and Protected has partnered with COPS Monitoring and NAPCO Security Technologies to support the Tunnel to Towers (T2T) Foundation.

This collaboration, launched on July 4, initiated a security campaign to provide life safety devices to more than 800,000 veterans and retired military personnel, according to the joint announcement.

CEO Frank Siller founded the Tunnel to Towers Foundation (T2T) in memory of his younger brother, FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller, who died on Sept. 11, 2001. The foundation honors his legacy by supporting first responders, veterans and their families through various programs.

These include providing mortgage-free homes for Gold Star families, offering financial assistance to catastrophic injury victims and supporting first responders with necessary equipment and training, the announcement says.

Connected and Protected has also partnered with Boom Media as a marketing resource to leverage its network and expertise to raise awareness about the T2T Foundation and this security campaign initiative. The campaign will feature NAPCO’s new Prima Smart security system along with Prima’s full line of security, video and smart home devices.

Connected and Protected is pledging up to 10% of its profit from each sale to the T2T Foundation in addition to its corporate sponsorship. To maximize the impact of the donations, NAPCO is “making significant pricing considerations on its equipment” and COPS Monitoring has committed to “substantial discounts on monitoring services” through the partnership.

Connected and Protected’s goal is to provide smart home security systems and monitoring at no cost to Freedom Villages, 120-unit hotel complex-style residences in Houston with a new facility recently breaking ground in Bradenton, Fla.

The Freedom Villages “play a crucial role in helping veterans off the streets, out of mental facilities and combating veteran suicide,” according to the announcement. When veterans move from the Freedom Villages, they will take part of their NAPCO Prima system with them into their personal homes.

More About the Tunnel to Towers Foundation

“Connected and Protected is a company founded and operated by caregivers, who continue to do so today on a larger scale, with an altruistic mission to assist others, especially U.S. veterans, retired military and first responders and seniors across the U.S.A.,” says Connected and Protected managing partner John Feldman.

“Our goal is to provide top-notch security solutions while also giving back to the community,” he says. “My partner, Mickey Gross, and I consider our security careers as much a calling as we do a business.”

Richard Soloway, NAPCO’s chairman of the board and CEO, has a personal connection to the cause.

“As a native New Yorker, 9/11 is deeply etched in my mind,” he says. “Living close to the WTC and the Carey Tunnel, where Stephen Siller made his heroic run, profoundly impacted me. In the aftermath, the country turned to the security industry for help and preventative technologies to safeguard the future.

“I am proud that NAPCO was and continues to be part of that solution. Today, we’re honored that our NAPCO Prima Smart Security System is being used to protect homes while supporting the Tunnel to Towers organization in aiding first responders and their families. We’re glad to work with Connected and Protected and COPS Monitoring in this team effort, driven by our personal commitment to this cause,” says Soloway.

“We are honored to be a part of this mission to aid our nation’s heroes, said COPS Monitoring president Jim McMullen. “Providing security and peace of mind is not just our business, but a vital commitment to those who have selflessly dedicated their lives to protecting our communities and our country.”

The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security.

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
