With a highly skilled team and a focus on ongoing training, Security On-Line has fostered a loyal customer base that prioritizes safety and protection above all.

We are aligned in values, focused on the best solutions for our customers, and work with highly skilled teams.” This unity in mission highlights the potential for both companies to enhance their service offerings collectively.

As part of this acquisition, the current Security On-Line team will maintain its operational independence while leveraging Pye-Barker's extensive resources and support. This added layer of backing will surely enhance the capabilities of Security On-Line, empowering them to serve customers across Pennsylvania and New Jersey more effectively.
