Midwest Alarm Services
The Life Safety System Integration Experts

The synergy between top-notch service and deep expertise distinguishes Midwest Alarm Services as a low-voltage integrator of life safety solutions. Working with contractors, building owners, property managers, and facility directors, it designs and implements robust integrated systems.

For over 60 years, the company has remained synonymous with exceptional service. By identifying areas of vulnerability, the Midwest Alarm Services team installs reliable products, including fire alarm, nurse call, area of refuge, and professional sound systems, which ensure safety compliance and peace of mind for customers as well as building occupants.

Apart from its emphasis on quality on each project, Midwest Alarm Services distinguishes itself with a keen focus on hiring and retaining top-tier talent. With a firm belief that the true potential of technology is realized when complemented by experience, the company focuses on recruiting professionals who bring decades of expertise and dedication to driving excellence in every project. Applicants are selected through Culture Index, an assessment software focused on measuring work-related traits, and are chosen for their technical acumen and alignment with the company's philosophy and customer-centric ethos.

“We hire people who fit in the right roles and align perfectly with our strong culture,” says Doug Richard, president at Midwest Alarm Services. “Apart from the technical skills, we specifically look for individuals who have the soft skills to take care of our customers.”

This commitment to cultivating a highly skilled workforce equips Midwest Alarm Services with the resources to tackle the challenges clients face.

With a shortage of skilled labor and a need for timely responsiveness, they often struggle to promptly deploy technicians onsite and acquire materials required to install or service equipment. Midwest Alarm Services addresses these issues by building a substantial inventory and continuously investing in the recruitment and development of field technicians. This proactive approach enables clients to access services swiftly and effectively

A success story that testifies to Midwest Alarm Services' expertise involves a nursing home that required integrated life safety solutions covering the facility’s old and newly constructed parts. The company devised a wireless solution for the old section, circumventing the need for extensive cable installations. For the newly built wing, a wired solution was implemented. The two solutions were married to create a system meeting their expectations. The team delivered tailored solutions, blending ingenuity with practicality.
