If your Select Security account includes Armed Guard Response, please read on for information regarding your account’s transition to Brinks Home™:

We understand that Armed Guard Response is one of the reasons you chose Select Security, and we want to assure you that your protection will continue. Armed guards will still promptly respond to alarm signals we receive from your property. However, starting on February 22, 2021, that response will be provided by Vet-Sec Protection Agency.

At Brinks Home™, we value and are thankful for those who have served our nation. That’s one of the reasons we have partnered with Vet-Sec Protection Agency since 2008 to provide on-call armed protection for your account. Vet-Sec is a widely-known, respected company founded by three Army veterans who served in the Military Police Force. They are the largest armed response provider in the Southwestern United States.

Right now, you won’t see any changes within your account, and we don’t need anything from you. After February 22, 2021, everything regarding your account will seamlessly move over to Vet-Sec, and you’ll continue to have total control and access to your system. Your monitoring will remain uninterrupted, and your account will continue to have armed guard response, but from Vet-Sec instead of Select Security.

Once the transition happens, you will receive a slightly different series of communications in the event of an alarm. Select Security will continue to service your account until March, at which point Brinks Home™ will begin managing your account.

• Select Security will receive the signal and dispatch Vet-Sec to your home, as well as simultaneously calling you to make sure you’re safe.

• If the alarm is active, Vet-Sec will communicate to Select Security, who will then contact you about the status of the alarm.

• Vet-Sec will leave a door hanger regardless of the outcome of the alarm – active or inactive – to show they were there.

Prior to February 22, 2021, your account’s Armed Guard response was provided through a special department at Select Security, and handled in-house. At Brinks Home™, we are committed to continuing to provide you with the protection you rely on, and have chosen a partner we trust to keep you and your property safe. After a thorough search, we feel that Vet-Sec can provide that assurance for you, and with over 20 years of experience armed alarm response, they know how to keep you safe. We are proud to support American heroes.

We want you to know what to expect when Vet-Sec sends their alarm response teams. They will drive either a black van with a red banner that reads “Vet-Sec”, or a white sedan with the same red banner. The response teams will be dressed in grey button-down shirt with a “Vet-Sec” patch above the left pocket and on the right arm sleeve.
