Sonitrol team increases school security Channel 14 News
You may have seen some of our Sonitrol team on the news last week. Channel 14 News covered a story on Gibson Southern High School’s latest increase in security measures. Ben and Josh from Sonitrol can be seen in the video installing new door prop monitors to our commercial security system in place at the school. Door prop notifications allow us to know if someone has propped a door open so we can alert the staff during school hours to exact locations or potential threats. If you want to enhance your school security system as well, call us at (800)444-1191 for a free consultation.

Be prepared for Carbon Monoxide leaks!
Last night, our Central Station operator, DJ, received a Carbon Monoxide alarm from a residence we secure with security and fire detection. He dispatched the fire department, who responded and determined there was a Carbon Monoxide leak in the basement. The fire department contacted the gas company to meet them so that the leak could be stopped. Great job to DJ and our local fire department! Carbon Monoxide is odorless and can only be detected with the proper device. If you haven’t added monitored Carbon Monoxide detection to your commercial or residential property, contact Sonitrol at (800)444-1191.

All-star operators!
You might remember these all-star Central Station operators from recent Sonitrol news. Chaz Fields dispatched on an alarm we monitor that resulted in an apprehension after suspects tried to rob a pharmacy. All merchandise was recovered! Maye Kincaide dispatched after receiving a video alarm of trespassers on a school roof. Not only are these operators on top of their monitoring game, but they were also both recognized this week for PERFECT attendance for the 4th quarter in Central Station. Way to go, Chaz and Maye! Our team is dependable and ALWAYS ON THE JOB.
Suspect Apprehended!
Shortly after midnight, our Central Station operator, Chaz, received an audio alarm and picked up sounds against the door of a pharmacy we monitor. He immediately dispatched police as he recognized the sounds of a break-in attempt. He accessed the video cameras and alerted responding officers that two suspects were inside the store, one in a hoodie. While one suspect evaded police, the other was apprehended, and all the merchandise was recovered by police, leaving only a damaged door.
With Sonitrol’s Impact Audio Alarms, EARLY DETECTION prevents intruders from breaking in and getting away with inventory. Though suspects eventually gained entry, because of our technology and team, the police were already on their way to the scene. When you pair your Audio Alarm with Video access, in this case, our SonaVision system, our team can provide further information to responding police, such as suspect locations and apparel. Contact us today to secure your commercial property at (800)444-1191. GREAT JOB, Chaz and Henderson Police Department! Check out some of the video to see what Chaz saw. (Some of the video we had to leave out for privacy).
