Tell us the story of your company.

Patrick Chown: Safe and Sound Security traces its roots back to 2008 when I embarked on a journey in the security industry. Drawing from my experience at a prior security system installation company, I identified a niche and founded Safe and Sound Security. The company’s early focus was on selling and installing residential security camera systems and burglar alarm systems.

Recognizing the evolving needs of the market, particularly in the commercial sector, I led the company through a strategic pivot. This shift saw Safe and Sound Security transition into a specialized provider of commercial security integration projects. Today, we stand as one of the fastest-growing commercial security integration companies in California, driven by a commitment to innovation, excellence and meeting the unique security demands of our diverse clientele.

What solutions/services does your business offer in the security industry? And what makes your offerings or your company unique?

PC: Safe and Sound Security specializes in providing commercial-grade and enterprise-level security solutions, including security camera installation, access control installation, burglar installation, structured cabling installation, full security system integration, security system design and engineering and video management system integration.

What sets us apart is our unwavering emphasis on problem solving for our customers. Our extensive “needs analysis” process enables us to collaborate closely with our clients, ensuring that every job is executed to perfection. As a medium-sized business, we take pride in offering a level of personal customer service that distinguishes us from both local competitors and larger, national counterparts in the security industry and broader low-voltage contracting sector.

What’s something we might not know about your company – or something new you’re doing in security?

PC: Safe and Sound Security is currently placing a strong emphasis on enterprise-level cloud-based security systems. We firmly believe in the advantages these systems bring – enhanced user-friendliness, heightened security, scalability and improved accessibility compared to their traditional counterparts. This strategic focus aligns with our commitment to staying at the forefront of innovative security solutions.

In addition to our cloud-based security offerings, we are expanding our service portfolio to include public address (PA) system integration. By integrating PA systems into our repertoire, we aim to provide our customers with a comprehensive suite of security services, ensuring that their diverse needs are met under one trusted umbrella.
