Officer appreciation for apprehension!
We want to thank Officer Weatherholt and Officer Garrison of the Henderson Police Department, for their work in apprehending a suspect recently who broke-in to a pharmacy we secure and monitor. When our Central Station operator, Chaz, received an alarm, he dispatched law enforcement, who responded at once. Before officers arrived, Chaz relayed more information over the phone to dispatch, including the number of suspects and their hoodie attire. Officer Weatherholt and Officer Garrison arrived and apprehended one of the suspects who was attempting to flee on foot. ALL the stolen merchandise was recovered, and the only property damage was to the building door. Team Sonitrol’s Jessica and Steve stopped by HPD with certificates of appreciation, cookies, and Sonitrol swag gifts to say thank you for their fantastic work fighting crime. GREAT JOB, Officers and Henderson Police Department, keeping our city safe! Shout-out to Chaz for a job well done, as well!

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.

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.
Rather than wait until the holiday weekend is over to return to a flooding business, protect your property with a commercial fire alarm from Sonitrol, so you can be alerted as soon as possible and minimize property damage. Call us for a free consultation with one of our security design specialists at (800)444-1191.
