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!
Another apprehension! When our Central Station operator Maye received a video alarm at a local heating and air business we secure, she verified the alarm and dispatched police. Maye was able to provide responding law enforcement with details from the video, including the suspect’s description and attire, and she let them know he was rummaging around inside the fence and was gathering a handful of items. Evansville Police Department responded, and Officer Meeks made the apprehension. There was no financial loss or property damage for our customer. Their outdoor inventory was protected, and another would-be thief was stopped in action. Great job, to EPD and a shout-out to Maye!

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! Call us today for a free quote to secure your inventory at (800)444-1191.
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!
