Family business: American Alarm and Communications is a comprehensive security systems and life-safety integration and monitoring company. We’ve been at this for 52 years, still family-owned, and the first employee we hired is still with us. That tells you something about how we value people, and how our employees value working here.

Our mission: At American Alarm our only mission is to protect people, their homes, and businesses, with electronic security systems and 24-7 alarm monitoring. Everyone in our company contributes to that mission by doing their job effectively.
