Last week, our Central Station operator, Hannah, received a door alarm from a commercial property we secure. She verified the alarm and dispatched police. Law enforcement officers responded at once. Officer Miles and Officer Kavanaugh caught a suspect attempting to get away with a computer. Officers made the apprehension, and our customer’s business was secured. Great job, Hannah and EPD!

Last night Jessica stopped by Evansville Police Department to thank Officer Korey Winn for his work in apprehending two suspects on one of our alarms. When Sonitrol’s Central Station operator, DJ, received the alarm at a local high school we protect, EPD responded and found two suspects on site who had been in the building. Jessica took cookies from Lic’s and a certificate of appreciation from Sonitrol. THANK YOU, Evansville Police Department and Officer Winn! We appreciate you!
Another satisfied customer reached out to us this week after our Central Station team responded to an alarm, preventing a theft. Sonitrol operator, Liz, received a video alarm just after midnight. When she saw the individuals in the lot attempting to steal old A/C units, she alerted the customer and dispatched EPD. This was a recently installed camera system sold by Sherri to protect the customer’s outdoor inventory. In the attached picture on the bottom left, one of the individuals can be seen sneaking around. While there was no apprehension made, the customer was pleased with the quick response, which prevented a theft. Great job, Liz and EPD!

Two apprehensions! Last night, Sonitrol’s Central Station operator, DJ, received a motion alarm at a local high school we protect. DJ verified a break-in and dispatched law enforcement. Evansville Police Department found two suspects on site who had been in the building. Great job, DJ and EPD! Sonitrol plus police make your school, office, or business secure!
Over the weekend, Sonitrol’s Central Station operator, DJ, received a fire alarm at an apartment complex we protect and monitor. DJ dispatched the fire department, who responded at once. Evansville Fire Department found a garbage bag smoldering due to a lit cigarette in the hallway of the building. They put it out before it grew and ventilated the apartment building. This could have been a MAJOR disaster-from loss of life or injury to property damage- had the fire system not been monitored by our 24-hour Central Station. Not only do we install commercial fire systems for housing, warehouses, medical offices, commercial businesses, and more, we monitor them, providing emergency response around the clock. Great job, DJ! Excellent work, Evansville Fire Department!
