History
Vector Security, Inc. traces its roots back to The Philadelphia Contributionship (TPC), America's oldest property insurance company founded in part by Benjamin Franklin in 1752. Now the sister company of Vector Security, TPC was established as a mutual insurance company, where policyholders would come together to share risk of losses by fire.
In the 1970s, Westinghouse Security Division sold to Westec to become a franchised network of security dealers. Eventually, Vector Security was formed through the acquisition of Kilbourne Security, a Philadelphia-based Westec Dealer and Pittsburgh PA based Westec Dealer. The company's first name was PC Security and was then changed to Vector Security soon thereafter. Vector Security then began serving customers in Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and Northern West Virginia.
In 1992, Vector Security began serving national retailers with the launch of its National Accounts Division, which expanded into Canada in 1996.
In 2012, the company underwent re-branding and introduced its current logo and tagline, "Intelligent security tailored for you."
In August 2013, Vector Security acquired Industry Retail Group (IRG) to expand its offerings by adding managed network services to its portfolio of solutions for retailers and multisite businesses.
In 2015, the company acquired Pelican Security Network, Inc., a regional alliance of independent life safety and security services providers, expanding its footprint along the Gulf Coast from southwest Florida through Louisiana to Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas.
The company has won awards including Dealer of the Year by SDM Magazine (2003, 2015); Sammy Award: Installer of the Year (Large) from SSI Magazine (2016). Police Dispatch Quality (PDQ) Award from the False Alarm Reduction Association (FARA) (2006); Central Station of the Year from Central Station Alarm Association (2006); and Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Award (2008).
