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.
Rooftop trespassers!
Friday night, our Central Station operator, Maye, received a video alarm on the roof of a school we monitor. She saw two juveniles on the roof and dispatched police. In this case, the kids took off before police arrived, and no damage was done to the building. In other cases, would-be criminals are known to access rooftop areas with the sole purpose of stealing copper from outdoor A/C units. Many of our customers rely on this type of video system to protect their rooftop units from criminals.
As the price of copper continues to rise, criminals target rooftops and outdoor areas of commercial properties because they assume no one can see them in the dark. Sonitrol’s Video technology is dependable. Once we receive a notification, we can view the video clip or view high-definition live stream video, depending on the video system in place, allowing us to provide details to responding law enforcement. Call us at (800) 444-1191 to choose the Video system for your commercial property.
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).

Minimize water damage with a verified alarm
While we can’t prevent pipes from freezing and bursting, we can monitor your business property with a verified fire alarm and alert you when this unfortunate crisis occurs. This past week, our Central Station monitoring team alerted customers and dispatched fire department on several fire alarms that were caused by busted water pipes. In one case, our audio alarm detectors picked up the sound of water running before the fire alarm went off and was able to let the owners know. The fire department responded to the incidents, and the water department shut the water off in the buildings so repairs can be made.
