About the TNSI

Tennessee Network of Security Integrators

The Tennessee Network of Security Integrators is a statewide nonprofit organization of alarm businesses.  More than 200 companies, including suppliers, are working through TNSI to promote the mutual interest of the private security industry, foster cordial relations among the members, stimulate growth, and serve as a medium of exchange and dissemination of information regarding the alarm industry to members, to legislators and to the public.  The TNSI provides a state-wide basis for communication, education and the exchange of ideas and information between its members.
