Online ReviewsWhile your personal sources have suggested you with some names, it is also necessary to use some internet sources to see what the web has to say. Checking out reviews of the companies you have in mind on websites such as the Better Business Bureau, which also provides accreditation to the company and rate them based on their overall work practices and customer satisfaction, is recommended.

License RequirementsEvery security company must hold a license issued under their state's public agency responsible for regulating security companies. A certification from the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and CSAA (Central Station Alarm Association) is also a sign that their work practices are continuously evaluated by trusted authorities. Visit their registered office and inspect the hard copy of the license thoroughly to ensure validity and authenticity.

InsuranceEnsure that the company holds a liability insurance. Many security companies have special insurance programs. For example, Protection 1 Security Solutions have a SafetyNet program that covers out-of-pocket insurance deductible expenses, in case of theft or loss. Evaluate what the company can offer you in terms of financial saving and security, and make a decision.
