Bates Security Acquires Central Security & Electronics
Bates Security/Sonitrol of Lexington, Ky., continues its growth with the acquisition of Central Security and Electronics in Lake Placid, Fla. This will be Bates Security’s fifth office and will continue to operate as Central Security.
“Our Central Security team has been privileged and proud to serve our community for over 30 years,” said Dana Hurlbut, former owner of Central Security and Electronics. “What we began in 1988 as a one-man operation wiring security for builders in new homes has grown into a well-established full-service security provider with 10 offices and technical staff. Thanks to all of our loyal patrons, we are now providing security, fire, camera, and access control services to several thousand customers, including our local government offices, educational and religious establishments, as well as numerous commercial and residential accounts. With an eye toward future growth, we are pleased and excited to announce that we are merging our company with Bates Security, a similar and successful family-owned business with offices throughout the Southeast.”
