Information For Your Customers

Choosing a Company
When choosing the right security, fire, or technology company, it's important to assess their reputation and expertise in the industry. Look for companies with positive customer reviews and a proven track record of successful projects. Ensure they offer comprehensive services tailored your specific needs and verify their certifications and licenses. Finally, consider their customer support and ongoing maintenance options to ensure you receive the best service long-term.

Licensing & Permit
How to Verify Licensing and Permits in Oregon
If you're hiring a company to install or service an alarm or life safety system in your home or business, it’s important to make sure they have the proper licenses and permits. In Oregon, alarm companies and technicians must be licensed through state and local agencies, including the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) and the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB). Many cities and counties also require alarm permits, which are often issued through local police or sheriff’s departments. Always ask your provider for proof of licensing and check with your local agencies to ensure everything is in place—your safety and peace of mind depend on it.
