The Story of Advanced Security Systems
Our company is family-owned and locally operated, with a team comprised of your very own neighbors. With three generations of security expertise spanning over 50 years, we are committed to keeping you safe. Advanced Security Systems was founded in 1971 by Bob and Lois Bestor as a Dictograph franchised office serving Humboldt County, California. Still in its infancy in 1979, the company was sold to John and Rose Petrusha and has been operated by the Petrusha family since. Now including its third generation of family security professionals, Advanced Security Systems has grown to be a premier security company with three locations in Northern California spanning from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oregon Border.
Our Mission
Our original mission, "Our Family Serving Yours," has not changed over the years. That sentiment still holds true to our philosophy and serves as the predecessor to "Delivering Peace of Mind." We strive to offer the service we would expect to receive. Therefore, we serve each person, customer, and employee with the dignity and respect we offer to all of our neighbors and community. Our culture has always included giving back to, and being a part of, the communities we are so fortunate to serve.
