APX Alarm Keeps it in the News

I have been a little slow updating the news, but that doesn't mean APX has stopped making news. There isn't too much that is serious, compared to the recent stories, but it is in the news. Check it out for your self:

• Tonawanda, NY -- Bracing for the second surge, the city police sat down each APX sales rep before giving a permit to peddle home security systems in the city. Told them again to not say they are with the police, to not tell them not to falsify crime reports, and to obey knocking hours. This is probably the same office that started with 45+ guys, but only got 18 solicitors permits. APX alarm goes through a lot of territory in order to install the amount of home security systems they do. This is presumed to be the same group that went through Syracuse, Rochester, and now Buffalo and Tonawanda.
  
• National Home Security News outlets have mentioned the situations with APX Alarm Security Solutions. Basically noting that they have had a storm of media and misconduct allegations. The only friends APX Alarm has made inside the security industry are basically the ones that get a cut of their money. Honeywell, their 3rd party central monitoring station, the lights they put on their alarm system signs, the sign makers, etc. Their competition though, not so happy. Fair competition is fine, as long as everybody plays by the rules.
• If it sounds like APX Alarm, looks like APX Alarm, and smells like APX Alarm, it probably is APX Alarm. Evans, CO alleges an unnamed company is claiming to associated with the local police, is not registered to work there, says they are Honeywell Security Products, and are being aggressive while selling home security systems. Maybe it isn't APX, but it sounds a lot like them. No other door-to-door company security company that I am familiar with brings people from Canada and is with Honeywell. Pinnacle does but they are GE. So, if I were a betting man, I would put it on them being with APX.
  
• This one is not really news, but it is an interesting read on a door approach by a home security salesman for APX Alarm in California.
  

Hopefully that is it. It seems that the summer security system selling season is winding down and we'll see if the news follows suit!
