Interview with our founder
In 1969, our founder, “Doc” Standring, opened his Sonitrol franchise, a verified electronic security company. Over fifty years later, we continue to protect commercial and residential properties with innovative technology and a team of professionals who are always on the job twenty-four hours a day. Call us for a free consultation at (800)444-1191. We love this excerpt from an archived interview with Dr. Standring:
Fire monitoring prevents loss of life and property!
Over the weekend, Sonitrol’s Central Station operator, DJ, received a fire alarm at an apartment complex we protect and monitor. DJ dispatched the fire department, who responded at once. Evansville Fire Department found a garbage bag smoldering due to a lit cigarette in the hallway of the building. They put it out before it grew and ventilated the apartment building. This could have been a MAJOR disaster-from loss of life or injury to property damage- had the fire system not been monitored by our 24-hour Central Station. Not only do we install commercial fire systems for housing, warehouses, medical offices, commercial businesses, and more, we monitor them, providing emergency response around the clock. Great job, DJ! Excellent work, Evansville Fire Department!

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!
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).
