Our History - How We Work - What We Do
Warren Security Systems,
Inc., was
founded by Warren Glass III, in Sausalito, California. Warren started in
business while still in high school, selling fire extinguishers to his friends.
Later, Warren acquired a State of California license to recharge and repair fire
extinguishers. As the business grew, additional services were taken on, such as
installation of fire alarm pull stations in apartments and government buildings
in and around Marin and Sonoma Counties.
In 1966,
Warren gave up the fire extinguisher portion of the business and continued with
fire alarm evacuation systems. Also during this time, Warren was completing his
college education.
Warren
Security really started as its own entity in 1967 when the first burglar alarm
was installed in Warren's family home. From that first installation on, the
business just grew by tremendous leaps and bounds. Peggy, who is now Warren's
wife, helped install and service the very first alarms. These first alarms were
usually connected directly to the police and fire departments. Because most
police and fire departments don't want to have alarms in their stations, Warren
Security opened the first 24-hour alarm Central Station north of the Golden Gate
Bridge in 1969. Warren Security is one of a very few to meet the standards of UL
for fire and security, listings and certificates, residential and commercial.
In 1976,
Warren Security had its own specially designed Central Station and corporate
offices built. Today, Warren Security is a leader in its industry as a member of
Burglar and Fire Alarm Associations, and follows their code of ethics. Warren
Security is also a leader in its industry by designing and testing new and
innovative security ideas, along with providing genuine service 24 hours a day,
every day.
The first
concern of Warren Security is to provide each of our customers with peace of
mind. This feeling is achieved by assuring a high standard of quality in our
equipment and personnel. We feel the service and reliability of the alarm
company is just as important as the actual system within the premises. Warren
Security offers a wide variety of fire, access and security systems, every one
custom designed to fit the needs, desires, and environment of each individual
customer.
Warren
Security is not a franchise or similar operation locked into buying from one
supplier. In not being restricted to buying from one or two manufacturers, we
are continually able to purchase the most reliable equipment and components
available today to provide peace of mind and security.
The
Central Station is really the nerve center of Warren Security, where highly
trained personnel monitor very sophisticated electronic alarm receiving
equipment. Trained, experienced, and skilled personnel are ready 24 hours a day
to dispatch instantly the type of emergency help you may need to your aid. Each
system and dispatch procedure is individualized to your needs.
On August 22, 2003 Warren Security Systems sold its accounts to Alliant Protection Services with the understanding that they were going to keep the operation running as it had been for the previous 35 years under the leadership of Warren Glass. In January, after making some bad business decisions, Alliant Protection Services filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company continue to operate and take care of existing accounts under new temporary leadership. On May 20, 2004 the accounts were then purchased by PSI (Protection Service Industries, L.P.)
Warren is very disturbed that the the acquisition of the accounts did not turn out as he had planned. For over a year Warren worked to find a company he felt would take care of the customers and his long time employees.
After
receiving many hundreds of phone calls from past subscribers, Warren Glass
and Warren Security Systems, Inc. has returned to providing fire, security
and access controls systems with UL Central Station services. It will take more than a year to build another UL listed Central
Station so I have partnered with Total Monitoring Services for my UL Central
Station Services.
