Sonitrol

SONITROL was established over 55 years ago and was initially formed by a policeman and an inventor to reduce the number of false police alarms and increase criminal apprehensions. The company was started by Robert Baxter, a man from Anderson Indiana, who intended to install microphones in the walls of a building to detect termites and pinpoint their location. Baxter, an inventor and sound engineer, met a local policeman from Anderson Indiana named Al Cronk in 1963. These two brilliant minds shared some ideas, and together they decided to combine their respective expertise to create a security firm after realizing that the current alarm systems allowed criminals to escape. This new alarm system that Baxter invented was based on using sounds. Established in 1964, Sonitrol is now a leading provider of security services in North America. Our 24 hours, seven days a week Central Station offers monitoring security alarms to our expanding network of customers both in the US and internationally.
