Our history is really the history of two separate companies ; Aressco, Inc in Kendall, and Assured Security Company of Homestead. Aressco, Inc was was incorporated in 1979 by Don Richter, then 18, as a means of paying for his college education. After college, the increasing need for security systems in south Florida, would turn it into his career. Aressco grew to become a respected name in the alarm industry in South Florida, with thousands of satisfied customers from Palm Beach, south to the Keys. Assured Security Company began operations in Homestead, Florida in 1974. In 1985, Matthew Forristall and his partner, Robert Houston, assumed control and grew Assured into Homestead's premier Security and Fire alarm company. Assured provided monitoring and service across the State of Florida, with its concentration of customers residing in Dade and Monroe counties. In 1992, following Hurricane Andrew, Assured, like most of Homestead, had to start over. By 1995, with their reputation for quality and personalized service, Assured had become the largest independent alarm company in Homestead. Throughout 1995, and 1996 the alarm industry underwent a massive consolidation, a large percentage of the smaller independent alarm companies were acquired by the larger companies. It was during that time that both companies, like many other local independent alarm companies, were acquired by Republic Industries. In a little over one year, Republic sold off their alarm division, and abandoned the industry to became what is now known as AutoNation USA. While Matt and Don enjoyed their early retirement, they really missed the industry they had help pioneer. Because many of their customers were also their friends, they constantly heard how bad things had become and the complete chaos caused by the consolidation and reconsolidation. With allot of encouragement from their old customers, employees and friends, the two joined forces in Sept 1997 opening Aressco Services, Inc
