When a traditional security company notifies police of an alarm, they aren’t typically aware of what tripped the alarm. Was it an air-conditioning vent that kicked on and knocked a poster off the wall? A warehouse critter that set off a motion detector? With Sonitrol, our team of operators can zero in through video, audio sensors, or both to determine what is actually happening at the location. Whether it is the sound of intruders whispering or knocking repetitively at an obscure point of entry, our team will be able to VERIFY to dispatch that a break-in is being attempted. This means law enforcement will have more information about the alarm they are responding to, and it also means less false alarms. Call us for a free quote to arm your commercial property at (800)444-1191. A verified system is the only kind of security worth having.
A police officer and an inventor developed Sonitrol to increase apprehensions!
Over fifty years ago, a police officer who was tired of responding to false alarms teamed up with an inventor to develop Sonitrol, a verified alarm system with the purpose of reducing false alarms and increasing criminal apprehensions. Today, Sonitrol has an apprehension number of over 182,704 and counting. When you arm your business or commercial property with a Sonitrol alarm, you are getting wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling volumetric protection, early intrusion detection, higher apprehension rates, and a team of security professionals who are ALWAYS ON THE JOB.

EPD appreciation!
Last week, our Central Station operator, Chaz, dispatched law enforcement to a restaurant Sonitrol monitors when he received suspicious audio with voices from the location. Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Department, assisted by Evansville Police Department, apprehended two suspects who had broken in through a drive-thru window for a late-night snack. To say thank you to EPD Officer Jason Martin and Sergeant Karges for their assistance in the apprehension, team Sonitrol’s Flavia took sandwiches and wraps from The Granola Jar, certificates of appreciation, and Sonitrol hats to EPD last night. Pictured: Officer Jason Martin. Thank you for your service to our community!
Panic alarm apprehension!
Apprehension Alert! Yesterday, our Central Station operator, DJ, received a panic alarm at a business monitored by Sonitrol. Right away, DJ was able to pick up the stress in a woman’s voice from the audio feed, and he dispatched police. Law enforcement apprehended the suspect who was allegedly exposing himself and chasing after a woman in the store. Way to go, Muncie Police Department and DJ!

Two arrested after breaking-in for a late night snack!
In the middle of the night, our Central Station operator, Chaz, received suspicious audio with voices from a local restaurant monitored by Sonitrol. Chaz dispatched law enforcement, and EPD made two apprehensions. The suspects had broken in through a drive-thru window for a late night snack, but little did they know they had tripped the alarm and Sonitrol was listening to protect the business. Great job, EPD and Chaz! If your commercial property isn’t monitored by a Sonitrol audio alarm, call us today for a free security consult at (800)444-1191. Sonitrol plus Police equals more apprehensions!

Thank you, Evansville Police Department!
Team Sonitrol’s Flavia stopped by roll call last night to thank EPD for their apprehension recently at a local restaurant monitored by Sonitrol. She took food from Subway, certificates of appreciation, and custom Sonitrol gifts. A special shout out goes to Officer Clayton, Officer Reed, and Officer Harter, who made the apprehension, and also to Maye, our Central Station operator who dispatched police. Last night also happened to be Lieutenant Wittmer’s last night before retirement from EPD, and Team Sonitrol has appreciated working with him over the years for the EPD Foundation’s SWAT Challenge. You will be missed, Lieutenant Wittmer! Pictured from left to right: Flavia, Officer Clayton, Officer Reed, and Lieutenant Josh Wittmer. (Not pictured: Officer Harter).
