Locally grown and growing
If Aptos were a parent, First Alarm security services would rightfully be considered one of his or her cherished offspring. Jarl Saal started First Alarm Security & Patrol Inc. in 1966 as he attended Cabrillo College in Aptos. Since then, First Alarm, with its headquarters in Aptos, has grown into the well respected, sophisticated and state-of-the-art company we know today.
First Alarm provides three services, domestic residential security systems, commercial security systems and video patrol monitoring, with clients throughout the Central Coast and San Francisco Bay area. Jarl Saal is the chief architect of the company’s innovative approach to the industry, integrating technology with the human side of security.
First Alarm has a wide mix of products and services. Each device available through First Alarm has been included after a great deal of scrutiny and research, ensuring the best solutions available for their clients.
First Alarm has everything you would expect from a security company such as smoke detectors, door and window sensors, carbon monoxide detectors, personal security devices for the aging, motion sensors and water sensors as well. However, there are some services and technology features First Alarm provides that you may not be aware of.
Peace of mind is a service no one can completely provide. It’s personal, but First Alarm comes close. Imagine receiving a text when your kids get home and being able to visually watch them, via security cameras, through your smartphone as they enter your home. When you get the message that they’re home or that they forgot their key, you can unlock the front door, from your smart phone. You can adjust your thermostat and lights while you’re away and even feel secure knowing that if your washing machine or water heater decides to flood your laundry room or garage, or if your refrigerator has given up the ghost, you’ll know almost immediately so you can control the damage. Those are some of the ways First Alarm ensures your peace of mind.
Their customized systems include hardwire
and wireless options
for your security. Systems are personally monitored in Aptos by First Alarm’s trained technicians 24/7.
Dave Hood, President of First Alarm, started working for First Alarm in 1989 as a security patrol officer. He has held various management positions for the company over the years and is currently the President of First Alarm. When asked what he was passionate about as the head of such a large company, his answer was clear; he understands security and how very personal it is.
“Our passion is simple, to make people and places safe.” Dave said, “I’ve been the guy whose home was violated, so I understand how personal it is.”
Home security is more than just a combination of devices that work together for the protection of your property; it’s about securing your family’s well being, their personal belongings and their very life. It’s personal, and First Alarm monitors your home personally. Having your system monitored by real people means that a team of specialists is on duty every minute of every hour, ready to dispatch emergency response personnel within moments if trouble appears.
Whether you’re ready for your own security system or just curious about personal security, First Alarm has a team member ready to meet with you when it’s convenient to determine what services are important to you. First Alarm understands that until they get to know you they won’t be able to provide the products and services most appropriate for your security needs.
