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.
