TORONTO, Feb. 20 /CNW/ - TSX - Trading symbol - AF Joel Matlin, President and CEO, is pleased to announce the launch of AlarmCare, a new product line from AlarmForce Industries Inc. Using AlarmForce’s 20 years experience with live two-way voice response, this same monitoring technology will now be available for AlarmCare: a 24hr Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) designed to instantly respond and send help in the event of an emergency.

 Joel Matlin said: “We believe that AlarmCare will be a product of tremendous interest at this time. Fuelled by an influx of baby boomers, Canadians and Americans approaching retirement are one of the fastest growing demographics in North America. AlarmCare will seek to meet the needs of many people in this group: elderly people who live alone, those with medical conditions, those with difficulty walking or in danger of falling. Anyone who may need help in the event of an emergency will benefit from AlarmCare.

“AlarmForce proposes to install and maintain the AlarmCare system at no cost, with no annual contract. We believe this makes our offer significantly more affordable than that of the competition in the PERS industry. AlarmForce will continue in its commitment to offer the same exceptional value at the lowest price to all of its customers.

Mr. Matlin added: “We believe that this new product provides growth potential for AlarmForce by complementing our existing lines and the business model which has proved so successful. We propose to install AlarmCare in all of our current markets where the AlarmForce brand has become well established.”

AlarmForce Industries Inc. is Canada’s largest manufacturer and installer of two-way voice home alarm systems and line-cut protection. There are offices serving all major markets in Canada and selected markets in the United States.

Throughout 2007 AlarmForce held a special contest to thank our customers for their continued and loyal support, which has helped make AlarmForce the industry leader it is today.  We’re pleased to announce that the winner of a brand new 2007 Dodge Caliber XT was Mr. Juan Carlos Galindo from Nepean ON.  Mr. Galindo visited the AlarmForce Head Office in January to meet the staff and claim his new prize.  It was a great day and all of us here at AlarmForce hope Mr. Galindo enjoys the car!

The winner of our second prize, a $2500 cash prize, was Mr. Lon Lofton of Youngstown OH.  Mr. Lofton was very happy to hear the news and had some great things to say about AlarmForce.  “AlarmForce is the greatest! The system is awesome and I’ve already recommended it to others and I plan on doing it again”.

We’d like to thank Mr. Galindo, Mr. Lofton and the rest of our customers who helped make this contest a great success!

Received an entry door burglary signal. There was no response on the two-way voice.  The key holder said no one should be on the site and he would be attending with the police.  Dispatched Barrie police.  Customer called to inform us that there was an attempted break and enter.  The culprits had unsuccessfully tried to enter through a back window. The proceeded to force the front door but were frightened off by the alarm.  Nothing was stolen.

A residence in Decatur, GA

A business in Leamington, ON

Our sales rep, Terry took a call from one of his new customers from Leamington, ON

“A Leamingotn area customer of ours just had his Alarmforce system installed yesterday. He called to say he already had a break-in today through a locked window. The intruder set off the Motion Sensor, and it appears that our 2-way voice operator in the Central Monitoring Station successfully voice threatened the burglar out before he had time to steal anything. Customer was contacted at home by us, and came to his business to see the smashed window, and that nothing was stolen.

He called to say how happy he was with his decision to go with our company’s alarm system.”

We would like to remind all AlarmForce customers to make sure that their home has an AlarmForce lawn sign outside and decals by their front and back doors. Homes with a home security system are approximately three times less likely to be broken into than a home without an alarm, and there’s no better way to tell burglars that you’re protected than with a lawn sign or a door/window decals. So what makes the AlarmForce lawn sign and decal the most effective deterrents on the market?

The answer is simple: Our Live Two-Way Voice Security! It’s been proven that burglars avoid AlarmForce protected homes because of our live two-way voice security and our AlarmPlus line-cut technology. These two superior forms of protection make our lawn signs and decals the most powerful of any company. For proof watch this video from a national news broadcast where a career burglar admits he avoided AlarmForce protected homes.
