Having used GSSC for many years I am sad at what it has become. They have moved to automated response calls so you have to wait for the alarm information and then call the service to get clarity. But on my last two calls I was put on hold and the second was disconnected. Not helpful if there is an actual issue at our Church. Office staff are not prepared or trained to handle questions or requests from us when we call for service or problems. Will be looking for a better more professional company to handle our security.

You should get people that know how to drive behind the wheels of your wannabe cop cars. Why in the world does a security system installer even need a cage in the back? The level of cop wannabe exhibited by this company speaks volumes about potential crazy in the heads of the founders/people that run it.

Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness Its unfortunate that I have to hear what my officers say about their corrupt leadership. I've been told that their captain doesn't care of the clients opinions when it comes to our business. Good officers but the captain in charge of everything is a complete snake.

We have GSSC for our fire monitoring in a new building (setup by our contractor). Today we had an alarm go off, and when I called (or rather tried to call) GSSC, there was no answer, only a hold message saying "we understand your time is important, we will be with you as soon as we can". When I finally did get someone on the phone after multiple tries over a half hour period (with an alarm screeching in our building), the person on the phone said "I'm sorry, we're just an answering service and we're not trained to be able to help you with that - you'll have to call someone else".
We called the someone else, only to get disconnected after that person saying "I can't help you, but I'll forward your number to someone who will call you back". This circus continued on and on - just now over 1.5 hrs later a rep emailed a trouble report to us. Overall, I had to send 2 different emails, make 15+ phone calls to get hold of a real live person.
This from an Fire Alarm Monitoring company charging us thousands of dollars per year. Will be changing companies ASAP! Just unbelievable that an Alarm Monitoring Company uses an outsourced answering service who can't help.and they don't have resources available to answer their own phones. Really despicable given what they charge.

What a total disaster! Wanting a local vendor to make life simple I hired GSSC to replace restaurant camera system. 9 months and many thousands of dollars later system still does not work and I get nasty emails from company telling me not to complain. I have owned my business for over 20 years and this is the worst vendor I have ever dealt with. Avoid at ALL COSTS, or it will COST you Plenty!
