A MESSAGE FROM APS
Greetings,
Automated Protection Systems, Inc. was incorporated in 1995. For 30 years, Mark and Cindy Hare have led APS with passion and commitment. APS has grown over the years from a young security company to experts in Security, Access Control, and Firehouse Alerting Systems (APS Firehouse Alerting). Throughout those years, innovation was nurtured, growth was encouraged, and leadership was shown. Not only is the company a success, but a family was built.
Without the leadership of the Hare’s, APS would not be as successful as they have been up until this point. Mark and Cindy have decided it is time to retire and spend more time with family, travel the country, and enjoy life. While they are stepping away from what they have built from the ground up, they are passing the business along to two current employees who are excited to lead APS into its next chapter of growth.
With excitement, Dale Hicks and Austin Johnstone have partnered to carry on the APS legacy. There are big shoes to fill, but we are up to the challenge and look forward to enhancing our current relationships as well as building new ones.
