(The Southern California Annual Passes are only available for people living in Southern California, hence the name.)
A neighbor was burglarized a few days ago, and although the idea of yet another monthly charge was upsetting to me, I decided to check out what options were available. I called ADT, Brinks, Metro Guardian, Protection One and Protect America.

In the process of evaluating many home security companies, I found Protect America. They assert themselves as the, “largest authorized installer of GE Home Security”, and on the phone I was told that they were the, “third largest home security company in the US”.
My initial phone call was pretty good. The woman, Michelle Scully, was to the point, if a little pushy, but seemed very knowledgable about their products and the industry in general.
