Alarmex Inc

Richard W. (Dick) Crosson 

Founder

In 1982, Richard W. (Dick) Crosson established Alarmex Inc, driven by a vision to provide top-tier fire and security solutions for businesses and homes. As a family-owned business, Alarmex Inc was built on the core values of trust, innovation, and superior customer service—principles that continue to define its success today.

Recognizing the growing need for reliable fire and security systems, Dick set out to create a company that not only offered cutting-edge technology but also prioritized ease of use and customer service. In the company’s early days, he went door to door selling fire systems, building Alarmex Inc from the ground up through hard work and personal connections. As the industry evolved, he recognized the increasing demand for comprehensive security solutions and expanded Alarmex Inc’s offerings to include advanced fire and security systems for both businesses and homes. His leadership and commitment to delivering unparalleled service helped Alarmex Inc stand out from competitors, fostering deep trust within the community.

Alarmex Inc proudly remains a family-owned and operated business. Dick’s son, Richard, and daughter, Elizabeth, now lead the company, which is rooted in the values of trust, innovation, and superior customer service. Dick is still deeply involved in Alarmex Inc’s daily rhythm, sharing the insights, standards, and relationships that built the company from the ground up. His presence continues to shape the company’s culture and customer promise—anchoring Alarmex Inc in its roots while inspiring its future.

Over the decades, Alarmex Inc has remained committed to the belief that people make the difference. Many employees have built long careers with the company, their deep knowledge and dedication reflecting the same values that Dick instilled from day one. Seasoned technicians now mentor new generations, passing along time-honored expertise while embracing the evolving technologies that define modern security. This continuity—from leadership to team—has shaped a workplace grounded in integrity, collaboration, and craftsmanship. At Alarmex Inc, it’s this shared history and forward-looking mindset that continues to ensure every client receives trusted service and state-of-the-art protection.
