SINCE 1989

First Response Security has been providing a Higher Standard of physical and electronic security solutions to the great northwest since 1989. Our reputation is built around our high level of service, along with our committed focus to exceed our client’s expectations. Our highly trained officers, professional technicians, and experienced dispatchers set the standard for other security companies to follow.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR YOU

From our humble beginnings in 1989, First Response continues to grow and add additional offerings that allow us to improve and become more efficient. We are the only company in the Pacific Northwest able to combine our on-site, patrol, and alarm response services with a full range of electronic security through our in-house UL dispatch/monitoring center. This exclusive advantage allows First Response to provide a faster response time to a broad range of customers without using sub-contractors. With up to 15 vehicles on the road every night, over 3,000 alarm systems monitored, and over 300,000 Alarm Responses under our belt, no other company has the experience that we do.

BEST-IN-THE-BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY

We provide every officer with a 4G tablet which allows them to produce security reports while on-location. Each of our vehicles is equipped with GPS tracking, allowing us to verify routes and services performed. We created our own patrol & dispatch software which automatically sends our officer’s reports directly to our clients. No more waiting around for manually emailed reports! Additionally, this software has features that allow our dispatchers to work more efficiently, resulting in minutes off the response time!

As a Honeywell Authorized Dealer, we’re able to offer everything from home security systems to commercial fire systems. Whether you are looking for an extra layer of protection for your home or for your business, we can provide it. Additionally, our video monitoring service allows our operators to view live footage which elevates the response priority for both our officers and the local Police. Our technicians are certified and provided with monthly continued education to keep up with the ever-changing security industry technology. All technician reports are completed on a tablet which allows for efficiency in the field. This ensures our technicians can be where they need to be, when they need to be there.

GIVING BACK

We invest in our community! For 4 years in a row, we’ve been featured in the Portland Business Journal’s Corporate Philanthropy Awards. ‘Stewardship’ is one of our company core Values, and we are motivated to give both time and money to help those in need. We have won a lot of awards over the years, but we are most proud of this recognition!

Security Officer (Unarmed) in Portland, OR
on February 1, 2023
I don't know much about the company, except the site I am assigned to. The co-workers I have met at my site, are cool. (Have not met the weekend patrol officers). Jobs site is too relaxed, and don't learn anything new after your first couple weeks. Unless you weren't properly trained. Easy place to train new comers into the security industry. This company is the only security company I know of, th...
Site Supervisor in Down town Portland, Oregon.
on April 18, 2023
If I have an issue at my site my bosses are amazing at not only giving me advice how to solve it. But, they speak to me in a way I can understand. They never talk down to me, or make me feel like I have a stupid question.
Security Officer in Beaverton, OR
on February 19, 2023
I worked there for one year. I worked hard... A lot harder then I should have. The 'rank staff' were a tad too friendly with eachother. I showed up to work one day and notice the vehicle wasn't there. After driving over an hour I was told I didn't work that day and that someone would reach out soon. A week and a half later I get a call saying my last check was ready but HR didn't know why I was le...
