Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has acquired Salt Lake City-based Peak Alarm Co., one of the nation’s leading security alarm providers. 

The addition of PEAK Alarm — winner of the SDM 2023 Dealer of the Year — expands Pye-Barker’s geographic reach throughout the western region and adds more than 100 security professionals to the Pye-Barker team. 

Peak  Alarm, ranked No. 37 on the 2024 SDM 100 list of top security companies, safeguards residences and businesses with security systems, fire alarms, video surveillance, access control, environmental hazard monitoring and 24-hour monitoring, so they can remain protected and operational. 

Peak Alarm has six locations in Utah, Idaho and Colorado, and extends coverage throughout these states and into Wyoming, Oregon and Nevada. Founded in 1969, the company has grown to a regional powerhouse, continuing momentum through strategic acquisitions, geographic expansion and commitment to its team, according to an announcement. 

“Starting with Peak Alarm Co.’s founder, Jerry D. Howe, our success has always been about people — the customers we serve and the dedicated, knowledgeable individuals who work here,” said Donald Weakley, president at Peak Alarm. “I and our other leaders — COO Clint Beecroft and CFO Fred Johnson — want to ensure all our people are taken care of during this next phase of the business. I’m proud to have Peak join the Pye-Barker family, which holds the same values.” 

“Peak’s story is a lot like Pye-Barker’s. As a young entrepreneur, Jerry Howe had a dream to protect his community, and through hard work and looking after his people, he created an industry leading organization," said Bart Proctor, CEO, Pye-Barker. “I'm honored to work alongside the talented security and alarm professionals on the PEAK team as we welcome them to the Pye-Barker family.” 

Peak Alarm’s team, including leaders Beecroft and Johnson, will continue to serve customers locally.
