ATLANTA — Full-service fire protection, life safety and service service provider Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has acquired Oklahoma-based security and alarms provider Alcom Security Systems and its sister company, mobile security trailer provider OK-SEE, according to a joint announcement.
These transactions “build Pye-Barker’s integrated life safety services in the Oklahoma City area and further its innovation within the life safety industry through proactive video monitoring technology,” the announcement says.
Alcom Security Systems provides service, testing and maintenance for security, fire alarm, access control and 24/7 monitoring systems. Throughout its 30-plus-year history, the company has “maintained standards of excellence in training, skills and service to protect businesses and their people,” according to the Pye-Barker announcement.
OK-SEE Security Trailers offers mobile security systems that “leverage proactive video monitoring to protect from theft, vandalism, structural damage and environmental risks. Its services result in faster police response times, fewer false alarms and threat prevention,” the announcement says.

“Pye-Barker has been an incredible partner during the acquisition process,” says Mike McKinney, co-owner of Alcom and OK-SEE, in the joint announcement. “We are family businesses, so it was important to us that we continued our journey with a company that puts people first like Pye-Barker does.”
“We’re confident that with Pye-Barker’s support, we will be able to expand our proactive security technology to protect more lives and properties, and we’re excited to integrate these services into the Pye-Barker family,” says Taylor McKinney, co-owner, in the announcement.
“Furthering our proactive video monitoring presence is an important step for Pye-Barker,” says Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker, in the company announcement. “OK-SEE and Alcom have developed a strong reputation through innovative services and top-tier customer service, and we welcome them to the Pye-Barker family with open arms.”
