This past year, we have received an overwhelming amount of thank you letters that highlight the success of our innovative, verified audio and video security technology.

   
Our clients get immediate results and see a reduction in the amount of break-ins following the installation of our technology, since criminals who are familiar with Sonitrol know not to mess with us.  

More importantly, our integrated security technology allows local police to apprehend the criminals who do attempt a break-in, quickly and safely, and in most cases, with little to no damage to your business.  

** **

### Sonitrol Is ... Remarkable, Invaluable, Gets Results And Captures Criminals

Our customers choose Sonitrol because our advanced security systems work.  Here’s what our customers are saying about us:

“We have been using your SonaVision Live Monitored Video on multiple sites for seven years and your system has recorded over 40 criminal apprehensions for us in that time frame.  **Remarkable**.”   Chris Davies, Stuart Olson Construction

“The next summer, with the addition of Sonitrol technology and prompt RCMP response, we were able to prevent all three attempted break-ins at the facilities. We have had no issue of note since that time until this morning, when once again, your Sonitrol technology proved to be **Invaluable**.” Jeff Holland, Surrey Parks, Recreation & Culture

“Just after 2:30 AM this morning, a thief entered our loading bay area and was instantly detected by your monitoring staff. The Coquitlam RCMP were on their way immediately and **Apprehended** this thief without any loss or damage to us.” Frank Ducharme, La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries

“Just after 3:30 AM this morning our Sonavision Live Monitored Video system detected an intruder breaking into our compound and your staff dispatched the Calgary Police who responded immediately... taking this copper **Thief Into Custody**!” Clay Dashney, WesTower Communications

### Why Sonitrol Security Systems Work?

 

Our innovative, [verified audio and video](https://www.sonitrolwesterncanada.com/sonitrol-verified-alarms-vs-conventional-alarms) security technology result in higher apprehensions.  Why?  Because our system is based on our unique verified technology.  Police trust our alarms and they respond quickly, with the appropriate information, and catch the criminal in the act.

Because of our ability to accurately verify alarms, we have the highest criminal apprehension rate and the lowest false alarm rate in the industry.

View our most recent criminal apprehension at Allteck in Langley, British Columbia. 

### How Do We Verify Our Alarms?

 

Our audio verified alarms allow us to listen to the break-in as it occurs.  Since we are listening in real-time, we are able to immediately notify the police of a break-in and pass on relevant information.  

This invaluable technology allows us to not only verify your alarm, but will also ensure the police are responding with the appropriate force and equipment, to the exact location on your site.  

Combined with our[ SonaVision](https://www.sonitrolwesterncanada.com/integrated-security-technology-for-commercial-security-alarms) technology, we will be able to watch and listen to the criminals before they gain entry.  We verify the source of the alarm and get police to attend the scene immediately.  If it’s a false alarm, we simply reset the system without bothering you or the police.  It’s that simple and we guarantee it!
