Our Story

Trust your security to Guardian's highly-trained, 24/7 personnel and U.L.-certified, double backup power-protected alarm monitoring center.

 

From existing homes to new construction, small business to multi-location franchises and corporations, Guardian Protection Services is a company dedicated 100% to life safety and protection of property. 

More than just an alarm system for the home, we provide 24-hour home security monitoring and protection against burglary, fire and medical emergency. We also give you the ability to stay connected with, control, and see inside your home and business like never before. Our remote home security systems and video surveillance allow you to monitor and manage what matters most from anywhere.

This state-of-the-art technology is monitored around the clock by Guardian's own highly-trained emergency dispatch specialists - never outsourced - because we have a personal stake in the care of our customers. The heart of any full-service security company is its monitoring center. Our U.L.-certified monitoring center station is award-winning and a model of efficiency, providing Guardian with the ability to respond to incoming alarm signals in an average of one minute or less.   

Guardian is the world's largest privately-held security company, but we weren't always that way. We do business today with the same integrity, attention to detail and commitment to customer service present when the company was founded back in 1950.

Guaranteed Service Excellence

Like security, customer care should never sleep.

Every Guardian technician and installer is thoroughly screened upon hiring. They then undergo hundreds of hours of rigorous training before licensing.

The dispatch specialists in Guardian's monitoring center have an average response time of one minute or less. Our facility is backed up by two independent sources of power so we can respond to your alarm system's signals - even if the center's main power source should ever fail.

The Guardian monitoring center meets the stringent requirements of Underwriters Laboratories (U.L. Certification), the Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA), and Factory Mutual (FM). Guardian's monitoring center also has the prestigious CSAA Five Diamond certification.
