Why do police trust Sonitrol?

  • Sonitrol alarms are reliable.
  • The false alarm rate of conventional systems can reach 98 percent. Sonitrol’s ability to immediately verify an alarm keeps our false alarm rate low.
  • Sonitrol detects a break-in while an intruder is still attempting to gain entry-no matter where the entry point is-roof, window, door, or wall.
  • As soon as an alarm signal is received, our Central Station operators confirm activity, verify the alarm, and dispatch law enforcement.
  • Operators provide entry points, suspect locations, and suspect descriptions to responding law enforcement. No other system gives police such accurate, up-to-the minute information as they rush to the scene.

Sonitrol has a high apprehension rate, (182,700 criminals and counting), a low false alarm rate, and provides increased safety for police officers. Call us today at (800)444-1191 to be protected by an alarm company trusted by police.

 

Did a vandal break your window or was it a storm?

by

It’s after midnight, and you are fast asleep. Across town, vandals throw a rock through your business window and run away. A storm rips a tree limb down, and it crashes through the window. Or maybe criminals have shattered your window and are climbing through to grab inventory and dash away before any one is the wiser. When you arrive to open your business the next morning, the broken glass leaves a trail of clues, frustration, and helplessness. When you have a verified alarm with Sonitrol protecting your commercial property, none of these scenarios need bother you.

With our audio and video verification, we can keep eyes and ears on your property. If there is a disturbance or anyone breaks your window or tampers with your property while you are away, our team will instantly be alerted. If they determine a break-in is in progress or your business is under threat, they will send authorities and respond accordingly.

How does it work? Our alarm includes audio intrusion sensors that will pick up sounds of any kind. If the sensors go off, our twenty-four-hour monitoring team will listen in to determine if there is a threat. When you pair your audio alarm with cameras, our team can view live video to see what is happening. Our Central Station operators will dispatch law enforcement and even provide them with suspect descriptions and locations. Maybe it wasn’t a burglary attempt. If a storm knocked a tree through your window, our operators will certainly let you know. Sleep in peace knowing our skilled team is protecting your commercial property.

Calling all adventure seekers!

by

Calling all adventure seekers! Do you love a good obstacle course? How does a 5k course, packed with over 15 obstacles and set along downtown Evansville’s Ohio River sound? This course is for anyone-from athletes to families with kids -looking for a FUN Saturday morning challenge. Even better? This race supports our Evansville Police Department, specifically the SWAT team. What does the EP SWAT Team do? Well, here’s a response to that question, directly from the race website:

“Founded in 1975, the EP SWAT team trains and prepares for missions involving barricaded gunmen, hostage rescue, high risk warrant service, active shooter response and more. The team is on-call 24 hours a day and responds immediately to calls for service. SWAT officers are selected from within the Evansville Police Department. Officers must serve a minimum of three years before they can apply for the team.” (https://www.adventuresignup.com/Race/IN/Evansville/EPDFoundationSWATChallenge)

Since Sonitrol was founded by a retired police officer and his inventor friend, our company simply wouldn’t be here without the police. When one of our alarms is verified by our Central Station monitoring team, police race to the scene to apprehend the intruders. And what would an alarm company do if they never caught criminals? We honestly don’t know.

Even without our history and decades of partnership with law enforcement, we’d still throw a team together for the EP Foundation SWAT Challenge. They had us at obstacles. Besides, we just never know what our boss man, Sam Standring, is going to do when he represents Team Sonitrol. Last year, we caught a photo of him doing a battle cry on top of one of the cars he jumped on top of. Sam always brings the fun with him to the race. *(See photo below). If you haven’t signed up as a team or with a group of friends, it isn’t too late.

This year’s event is Saturday, May 7, 2022. We hope to see you there. Here is the link to sign up:

We look forward to answering your call!

by

We are all familiar with the dreaded automated computer voice that answers our phone calls to utility, business, and cell phone companies alike. It’s why we hate to call these businesses we depend on for services from electricity to cell and internet plans.

The robotic voice will give you options, such as:

“Thank you for calling. Current hold times are thirty minutes.”

“Visit our website to avoid holding.”

“Press one for English.”

“Tell me more about why you’re calling, so I can connect you with the right representative.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t get that. Could you repeat why you are calling, so I can connect you?”

“Thank you for continuing to hold. Your call is important to us.”

And the list goes on…You end up listening to never-ending elevator music while you question why you give this company your business. It’s frustrating to say the least. When your call is finally answered, you’ll likely end up talking to someone who works remotely, states away or even countries away from the actual business you make your monthly payments to.

When you are shopping for a new security system, find one you can depend on. In this computer run day and age, it’s so much simpler to do business with a family-owned and operated company who employs local people to handle your account.

A REAL PERSON ANSWERS THE PHONE.

Simply dial our local number or our exclusive toll-free number, (800)444-1191, and your call is answered, “Sonitrol, this is Liz. How may I help you?”

If it’s not Liz, it might be Tammy, Chaz, DJ, Maye, Terry, Allison, or Tina…Whoever answers the phone is going to take care of you. We have a highly skilled team of dependable people. Some of our operators have been working for us for decades. When you call, someone who is familiar with you and who cares about helping you will answer the phone immediately. It’s really that simple.

Facilitate staffing changes with Access Control

by

Facilitate staffing changes- new hires or employee termination- with Managed Access Control from Sonitrol. Using this technology, your team is provided with small key fobs that can connect to their key ring, belt loop, or company lanyard. It is a lightweight fob that the employee simply waves in front of the door access panel to enter the facility.

Access Control can be used for any door of a building, including elevators. If the team member is allowed access to that area, the secure door will open. You can make changes to decide who can go through each door, or who you want to limit or deny access to restricted areas. Office areas, inventory, storage rooms, you name it, can all be protected or restricted from access with this technology.

There is no need to worry about changing locks when an employee quits or is let go. Access Control allows you to reprogram the key fob so that the employee’s key fob will no longer grant them entry. If a team member leaves or you have a new employee, and you don’t want to make changes to the system yourself, that is no problem. Our Central Station monitoring team is available twenty-four-hours a day to update or change users in your system.

Another great feature of Managed Access Control is the detailed digital records kept of who entered through any door of your facility. These files are dated and time stamped so if an incident were to occur, or a dispute to arise about who entered the building and when, you can view that specific information.

Managed Access Control is a convenient tool to add to any security plan. Pair it with our audio intrusion alarms, verified video system, or fire monitoring system. Call us for a free security consultation at (800) 444-1191.

The Sonitrol that started it all…

by

Over fifty-five years ago, Sonitrol launched in Anderson, Indiana. A police officer, Al Cronk, who was tired of responding to false alarms, teamed up with his inventor friend, Robert Baxter, and an innovative alarm system was created.

Ahead of its time, the first Sonitrol location quickly caught the attention of local businesses and police and within a few years expanded to other cities. Sonitrol alarms are verified by our 24/7, local monitoring team and are trusted by police. Today, Sonitrol is the third largest commercial alarm company in North America.

As the years have gone by and our criminal apprehensions have increased, our company has continued to stay ahead of the time, offering a variety of security features to protect your facilities. We offer verified audio intrusion and video systems, managed access control, panic buttons, and fire systems, as well.

With a proven record and longevity in the security industry, our criminal apprehension rate is 182,700 and growing. We would be honored to protect your commercial business, medical facility, or school. Contact us for a free consultation with one of our security design consultants at (800) 444-1191. Enjoy the vintage photograph of the Sonitrol that started it all!

Six arrests linked to $1 million in stolen motorcycles

by

Six men apprehended when our Sonitrol monitoring team dispatched Evansville Police Department to Harley-Davidson last spring have been linked to a St. Louis-based biker gang. These men are responsible for over $1 million in stolen motorcycles according to the United States Secret Service.

When Sonitrol’s impact activated audio alarm went off, our Central Station operators dispatched police. EPD’s K9 Officer Jeremy Matthews and his K9 partner located the suspects, and multiple EPD officers assisted with the arrests.

It is interesting to note as you read the article linked below that according to news sources, this same gang is possibly linked to another Harley-Davidson store in Tennessee, where just a few days before the arrests in Evansville, three motorcycles were stolen. Authorities have linked cases in Missouri and Illinois to the gang as well. While it is unfortunate that the thieves in those other states got away with stolen merchandise, we are so happy our local Harley-Davidson store chose Sonitrol to provide our innovative alarm technology to their business.

Securing our community and catching criminals is our mission. We are proud to work with police to secure commercial properties, and we know Sonitrol’s founder would enjoy this report. After all, Sonitrol alarms were created from the partnership of a police officer who was tired of responding to false alarms and his inventor friend. Together, they created alarms that would CATCH INTRUDERS before they could get away.

Way to go, EPD and our Sonitrol monitoring team. Call us for a FREE quote if you’d like to hear how we can protect your property at (800)444-1191. Read the news update about the biker gang here.
