Draft:Acadian Total Security

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Acadian Ambulance ventured into the realm of security alarm monitoring and personal medical alerts in 1991 through the establishment of Acadian On Call. As the success of these services unfolded, Acadian took a strategic step in 2014 by creating a distinct division known as Acadian Total Security. This move not only marked a pivotal moment in the company's evolution but also facilitated an expansive diversification of its offerings.[1]

The portfolio of Acadian Total Security, post-2014, expanded comprehensively to encompass audio-visual equipment and services, personal medical alert systems, access control systems, video security surveillance and monitoring, GPS fleet management, home automation devices, and comprehensive fire and security systems for both residential and business environments.

In a pioneering move in 2008, Acadian broadened its reach by introducing video monitoring services across the United States. Presently, Acadian Total Security operates a robust network featuring redundant call centers staffed with highly trained dispatchers. These monitoring centers have earned accreditation and UL listing through The Monitoring Association, underscoring their commitment to industry standards and best practices.[2]

An instrumental development in Acadian's corporate structure occurred in 1993 with the implementation of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This unique ownership model signifies that the entirety of Acadian is owned by its dedicated employees, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and commitment.[3]

The reins of Acadian Total Security are currently in the capable hands of Brandon Niles, who assumed leadership in 2016. Niles' tenure since then has been marked by continued growth and innovation, steering the division through dynamic changes in the security and monitoring landscape.[4]

This comprehensive overview showcases Acadian Ambulance's journey from its foray into security services to the establishment of Acadian Total Security, highlighting key milestones, expansions, and the company's commitment to employee ownership and industry excellence under Brandon Niles' leadership.
