Company History


3 reasons why Guardian Security is your best choice around Puget Sound.

For 25 years, we've specialized in serving the Puget Sound region.

 

Guardian Security is the first choice for security in the Pacific Northwest for public buildings, office buildings, warehouses, homes, schools, hotels and hospitals. Our customers have included names like Starbucks, Benaroya Hall, the Grand Coulee Dam, and KOMO-TV.

Nobody knows Puget Sound like we do. Since we started in 1976, we've been helping the businesses and people of this region with their safety and property protection needs. From the biggest commercial buildings down to the smallest homes, we're ready to help.

No other company can match Guardian's range of experience in integrated system design. And because we also install and service the systems we design, we understand the value of intelligent and farsighted planning.

From our Seattle-based Central Station, we serve one of the largest customer bases of locally monitored accounts, and coordinate dispatch of police, fire, and medical emergency services for our customers.

We have one of the largest fleets of field-service technicians of any independent security system provider in the Northwest. And with a professional team of over 100 systems designers, drafters, installers, service technicians, sales consultants, and project managers, we provide prompt assistance on projects of all sizes.

   

We design, install, and service all types of systems.

 

Guardian Security starts out two steps ahead of other life and property protection companies. First, we can design, install and service virtually any type of system you might need -- from fire, security and alarm, to access control, video security and central station monitoring. From simple setups to highly specialized systems,
we're one of the only companies that has the experience to completely handle all your needs.

Secondly, we're a leader in the integration of these individual systems. So instead of having redundant controls, procedures and systems to learn and monitor, we integrate your systems so they're simple, easy to learn and efficient to monitor. We also train you in the use of your system, and are ready to assist you if you need help.

   

We work with all brands of equipment.

 

Unlike some "one brand" companies, we're free to choose the best equipment available on the market - no matter what brand it may be. We can inspect and test all makes of equipment, not just those we install. And we can repair and maintain most makes that are out there.

We often get called when customers can't get the support, service or parts they need for their existing systems, or when the challenge of adding or updating equipment and systems is beyond the capabilities of other companies. At Guardian, it's our job to keep you up and running, and we do it with competitively
priced service that fits within your daily operating schedule.

 

Guardian Security leads Puget Sound with industry breakthroughs.
