In 1972, GLESSNER Alarm & Communications began in the basement of the Glessner's home. From the start, the family focused on the grass roots approach of exceeding expectations, personalized accessibility with total commitment to service. Today, these same ideas continue to be the company's hallmark. As a family-owned business, we take great personal pride in what our company has accomplished. But, we never forget our humble beginnings and the philosophy that has made Glessner a company that thousands of customers and business have come to rely on for their security and communication system needs.

GLESSNER services thousands of households in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia, earning it the reputation as one of the most highly respected security and communications companies in the region. We service such clients as the United States Army, United States ATF, United States Coast Guard, National Park Service, United States Department of Energy, Air National Guard, Department of Social Services, MCI/MCTC and Federal Aviation Administration. We are bonded and insured and involved with respected organizations as:

• National and Maryland Burglar & Fire Alarm Association
• Area’s exclusive dealer for First Alert systems
• Area’s exclusive dealer for IWATSU telecommunications
• Area’s exclusive dealer for Gamewell commercial fire systems

  Our expertise goes beyond the cutting edge. Companies have such confidence in our abilities that we often serve as a “test environment” for products being developed by many of the world’s leading security and telecommunication manufacturers.
