John R Switzer Wauconda, IL

I have had Sentry Security for many years now. I live in an unincorporated area and have had a few times when my alarm has gone off. Response time has been terrific. Rates are reasonable and the equipment is well monitored and well maintained. Again, I have had them for probably 7 or 8 years. No complaints at all.
