Meet Four New Representatives of Atronic Alarms

Atronic Alarms is proud to introduce four new employees who have joined the family this year.

Collett Albright

Collett Albright joined the company with over 30 years of experience in the security industry and works with clients to set up their monitoring service. 

"I knew there were good people at Atronic who cared about quality and customer service. Those qualities are important to me," she said.

She replaced Chrissy Wyble, who worked as the company's monitoring coordinator for the past seven years and who chose a new career closer to her home.

Jane McIntyre

Jane McIntyre recently moved into the accounting department to work with invoicing, billing and other records. Native of Kentucky, she has lived in Kansas City for 18 years.

"What attracted me to Atronic was definitely the people. They genuinely care and strive to provide exceptional customer service," she said.

Jane brings over 14 years of management experience to Atronic Alarms.

Jim Smith

Jim Smith was hired to assist in the service department and brings 12 years of industry experience to the company. He says he "loves his job" and looks forward to being a part of a company who treats you like a person and not just a number.

"I was searching for a company that was well established and growing. I am happy to have found a company that actually provides exceptional customer service and treats its employees well," Jim said.

Ryan Elder

Ryan Elder joined the installation department and holds certifications from Wichita Technical Institute in Networks+ and A+. His hobbies include ninja training and video gaming when he isn't buried "in Legos, baby dolls or laundry."

"I was drawn to Atronic because they value their employees as much as their customers," he said.

Useful Items for Spring's Volatile Weather

Every spring season we remind people about water detectors that can be added to an existing alarm system to protect basements or other areas against water damage. These waterbugs can be set up near a sump pump and alert the monitoring station if they detect water.

Usually when the snows are melting and the spring rains set in, basements, wine cellars or other low lying areas are prone to flooding. Over the years water bugs have saved our clients thousands of dollars in water damage, and in some cases insurance companies will offer discounts if this device is part of your monitored security system.

And here's the good news: Your monitoring with Atronic Alarms will not increase.

Another item we thought was interesting to note can help relay information to you during a tornado warning or other violent storm. Rick Zink, one of the commercial design consultants at Atronic Alarms, said that last year his daughter huddled in a stairway with other coworkers when the tornado warning sirens went off in Overland Park. They sat in the stairwell for a very long time, not knowing when it was safe to come out. After that, Rick took it upon himself to find a radio App for cell phones that would broadcast local information. He choose TuneIn Radio Pro which can be downloaded to your iPhone, iPod or iPad as can also be found on the Android Market. He said that with the TuneIn Radio App you can listen to any station in the world.

Atronic Alarms can also provide tornado warning security applications for commercial buildings by installing a mushroom button (not mushroom cloud) near the reception area that, when pushed, will sound a siren with a recorded message alerting people in the building to head to safety.
