Atlas Security Service, Inc. was started in 1962 by Marvin
Britton, followed by the Alarm Control Center central
monitoring station in 1963. Mr. Britton's desire was to
provide security to the people of Springfield, MO and the
surrounding regions by providing quality security systems
and quality monitoring services at reasonable prices.
At that time, the security industry was still relatively
obscure, and security was not on many people's minds.
But, as time went on, crime increased and the demand for
quality security services and products began to grow.
Atlas Security Service began to develop its own product
that allowed traditional direct wire systems to be
computer automated. As other industry breakthroughs
were developed, Digital
Monitoring Products (DMP) formed as a research and
development branch of Atlas.
Eventually, two companies evolved and Atlas Security
Service became the largest independently owned and
operated security company in Southwest Missouri. Mr.
Britton was able to rely upon his family to continue the
pursuit of securing the region. In the late 1980's,
Marvin turned over much of the control of the company to
his son-in-law, Jim Wade. Jim assumed the leadership of Atlas Security Service
and the Alarm Control Center in 1992 and is currently the owner/president.
