Security Central,
a division of Lake Norman Security Patrol, Inc., is an independent,
family owned alarm monitoring service located in Statesville, North
Carolina. Ralph and Christine Brown, along with their children,
Courtney, Ellen and Jay, own and operate the corporation.
In 1963, Ralph
began a patrol service on the then newly developed Lake Norman,
as many affluent families had begun to build second homes on the
lake. It was not long before he signed on as a Dictograph dealer
and started installing alarm systems.
As tape dialers
became replaced by digital communicators, Mr. Brown purchased an
answering service to monitor his alarms. By 1970, other area alarm
dealers began to call upon him to monitor their alarms. The company
installed a WATS line and Security Central was formed.
Today, Security
Central is one of the largest central stations in the country. We
currently monitor hundreds of thousands of alarms for over 800 alarm
dealers in 42 states. Security Central occupies a 10,000 square
foot, state-of-the-art facility and employs over 80 people. Our
goal, as it was in 1970, remains to offer quality, personalized
alarm monitoring services. We strive to treat each customer as a
member of our expanded family.
