The story of DFW Security is about four talented leaders with a vision coming together at just the right time to create a security and automation company like no other.

Over the next decade, they each played different roles and gained different experiences ranging from marketing and sales, installation and service, billing and funding, to customer service and operations. It turns out, these respected leaders were the perfect combination to offer high quality security at fair prices, and eventually enter into the world of smart technology together. DFW Security continues to expand, and we’re thankful to be an integral part of the Dallas-Fort Worth community and beyond.
