History
In 1978, Ron Ross identified a need to provide quality security services in the Detroit area. Ron’s expertise in the residential marketplace gave him the upper hand when it came to installations. He used higher quality wiring, better techniques for concealment, and provided custom services to customers. When Ron first started out in the Security Industry, he sold systems door to door in the evening. Then the following day he would complete the installations. In 1979, Ron hired his first employee who also learned the security industry. Customers would ask them if they could provide monitoring as well. At the time, Vigilante Security did not have its own monitoring central station. So, Ron and his co-worker set up customers with a third party to monitor the systems. Within five years, Vigilante Security had started a monitoring service. As time went by, the company continued to grow and now Vigilante Security has just under fifty employees.

Ron Ross began his career in the alarm industry in 1979. Prior to the start of Vigilante Security, Inc., Ron rose from the ranks of the building industry as one of the youngest ever in Michigan to be a licensed residential builder. Ron's extensive knowledge of construction helped launch Vigilante Security, Inc., into a leader in Michigan’s alarm market. Originally designed as a residential alarm company, Ron saw a need to provide alarm services to commercial, industrial, and government markets as well. Soon commercial sales were skyrocketing way beyond his expectations. Taking the need a step further, he opened Vigilante Security’s central station monitoring services in 1986 with only 400 accounts. Today, with the help of Vigilante Security’s sister company, Michigan Monitoring Service, Vigilante Security now monitors 40,000 accounts across the entire country. Ron Ross’ plans are far from complete. He plans to expand Vigilante Security, Inc., into markets and services that will move Vigilante Security, Inc., forward for years to come. |
