Knight Security was founded in 1962 by Harlan A Veerman (Bud). His role in the law enforcement community helped to launch the company. Knight Security did not start out in the alarm business though, but as a patrol service for the City of Joliet monitoring their parks and local businesses. Later, around 1968, as tensions and conflict in Joliet became ever more present, life insurance became to costly for our patrol men and we shifted more towards the burglar and fire alarm realm of security.

 

             As time passed Bud decided he wanted to pursuit a more active role in the sheriffs department and the Village of New Lenox. During the 80s to the early 90s, Bud became a village trustee as well as warden of the Will County adult detention facility in Joliet, IL.

 

             In the late 70's his son, David Veerman began to take over the business and the family dynasty continued. As the times changed, so did the focus of the company. Our custom made burglar and fire alarm systems were so well received by the community, our customers asked us if we could explore and provide services in the area of closed circuit television or video surveillance. So in the 80's we began the installation of video surveillance systems, which helped us to keep up with our customers needs.

 

             As times progress so does Knight Security and we are exploring the Internet as a way to access camera systems remotely. David's oldest son, Aaron, is researching new technology to help us meet the growing demands of the community.

 

             Over the years Knight Security has been able to thrive and outlast many of the other companies through word of mouth. Our company has been able to offer the commercial and residential community with quality products, service, and competitive prices for the last 40 years and we will strive to continue our outstanding commitment to our customers for many years to come.

 

Thank You for taking the time to learn just a little bit about who we are.

 

Sincerely,

 

Knight Security Alarms
