Security Sales & Integration was a recent guest of Statesville, N.C.-based wholesale monitoring center Security Central, meeting with Executive Vice President Caroline Brown and touring the facility.

She is the third generation of leadership for a local institution that was founded 55 years ago in the same location by her grandparents, Ralph and Christine Brown. Caroline is the only child of second-generation leader and current President Courtney Brown. The family also owns and operates AlarmSouth, an installing company with offices across the street on Security Drive.

Security Central has grown to be one of the largest central stations in the country, providing monitoring and dispatch services to more than 1,500 security companies with around 375,000 accounts.

Operating in all 50 states, alarm handling takes place in the UL-Listed Statesville facility with additional services and redundancy provided by another UL-Listed location some 30 miles west in Hickory, N.C. Security Central features three environment-controlled computer rooms that have redundant backups for everything at those facilities.
