We have been using Jade Alarm in our commercial buildings for alarm and fire protection for more than 10 years. They are ALWAYS professional and helpful, and it's one of the few places that has a human answer the phone when you call. When we have issues with our complicated alarm system, they always have it fixed within 24 hours and offer solutions that give peace of mind while you wait for the service tech.
It also must be a good place to work because we have seen the same service techs and have heard the same voices for several years, which also makes you feel good when you're working with your security. If you're considering a change, I can not recommend any service other than Jade.

The process from beginning (scheduling, determining services) to end (each day of installation, system walkthrough) was extremely professional, punctual, and communicative. Kirk and Jed were very patient and thorough throughout the whole installation process and were pleasant to have come to the house. Jessica and Alan were extremely helpful and I would highly recommend reaching out to them to either if you are in need of their services.

We have been a customer of Jade Alarm's security and camera systems for some time now at our two locations. Eric and Keith are very professional and easy to work with along with the rest of the team. The rare occasion we have had an issue with one of the systems, Jade Alarm has been very responsive to correct the problem and answer any questions. Thanks for the great service.

Jade alarm company is consistently great. They follow through and their staff is incredibly friendly and thorough. We've been with Jade alarm company for over 10 years and I speak to the same staff on a regular basis. Employee retention is key for a small business to succeed. I would not use any other alarm company in Kansas City at this time.

We have used Jade Alarm for fire and security monitoring at two locations for the 25 years that I have been at my company. They are extremely easy to work with and always friendly - even the overnight shift. I have worked with the same people at Jade for years, and that says a lot about how well a company is run.

I have several million dollars in property's protected by Jade alarm. They do my intrusion alarm, my fire protection, card access, camera's and door controls along with monitoring of said systems. Top shelf customer service and fast response times make it a no-brainer to use Jade for all my security and property protection. I have shopped them all even tried a different company on one building after they promised to be the best. Jade has been covering that building for years now because that company failed. Bigtime.
