Leadership – American Alarm

Scott Gilkey

American Alarm was started by the current owner, Scott Gilkey, in 1995. Scott has over 20 years of experience in the electronic security industry. Shortly after graduating from Berry College, Scott went to work for one of the largest residential alarm companies in the industry, Rollins Protective Services, Inc.

Rollins had an extensive security design and sales training program that proved to be a great asset for anyone starting in the security industry. After a couple years at Rollins, Scott also wanted to learn about the installation and service side of the business. He went to work for one of the most cutting edge, high-end commercial companies, Sonitrol of Montgomery.

This gave Scott great perspective on all types of security needs. Sonitrol of Montgomery did the electronic security for all kinds of establishments, from banks to jewelry stores to government complexes.

This experience also gave Scott the skills to come up with the most effective and efficient systems for any application. After several years at Sonitrol of Montgomery, Scott wanted to come back to his hometown of Atlanta. It was also at this time that he felt he had the knowledge and dedication to start his own alarm company, with an emphasis on customer satisfaction.

Now, over 25 years later, Scott is continuing to learn about all areas of electronic security. Moreover, he still has the strong dedication and desire to provide top-notch security, one customer at a time.
