Our History - A Rich Heritage of Security Solutions & Technical Innovation

Sonitrol - a North American company known today for detecting burglars and criminals - had its roots in pest control in the late 1950s, when an Indiana exterminator (Robert Baxter) inadvertently became an inventor after he installed microphones within the walls of a building to listen for termites and pinpoint their location.

After inventing many other audio detection devices, he incorporated “Sonitrol” from the words sound and control, to manufacture and market his innovative products.

A Long Term Partnership With Law Enforcement

In 1963, Robert Baxter met a local police officer (Al Cronk) and alarm company owner frustrated with ineffective systems that all too often allowed perpetrators to escape without being apprehended. Together, the two developed audio sensor technology that worked better in tandem with law enforcement, resulting in quicker response times and high apprehension rates.

This ability has become increasingly important as communities adopt Verified Alarm Response policies. We fully support the implementation of verified-only police response. Our very low 3% false alarm rate and our valued police partnerships, is why the police hurry up to our alarms.
