For homeowners preparing to depart the frigid midwest for warmer temperatures in the South and beyond with extended vacations or "snowbirding" to their second home, while you're away, who is protecting your home and your property? Setting an alarm won't check water lines, collect mail, meet with contractors, and water plants, but we will. Howe Security, Inc. was founded in 1967 by Charlie Howe, a Green Beret, Viet Nam veteran and retired Lieutenant with the Lake Bluff Police Department. The business began establishing it's roots along the North Shore of Chicago by initially providing residential security services and patrols. Fifty-five years later, Howe Security, Inc. is still providing residential security services and patrols to homeowners and residential communities along the North Shore and that division is still led by Charlie Howe.
In addition to Charlie, only his two sons and a very select few of tenured employees are entrusted to work in this division because of the sensitive nature when entering someone's home. We treat each home as if it were our own and vigilantly provide perimeter checks for damage, break-ins, or vandalism in addition to an array of services that may include mail collection, plant watering, water line checks, leaks, feeding pets (no dogs), and checking doors and windows. Howe Security, Inc. also has the capabilities to respond to burglar and fire alarms. The photo shows a recent discovery of an attempted break-in at a home we protect. Upon arrival, in our Howe Security marked patrol vehicle, our security officer performed a perimeter check and observed a small, side door leading to the kitchen with its glass shattered. The homeowner and police were immediately called. The offender was not caught but Howe Security remained onsite and helped coordinate board up services.
It is also the season for commercial businesses, without a 24/7 security presence, to be concerned about frozen pipes and leaks, access doors not closing properly, and vagrants seeking shelter in and around the property. Our commercial mobile patrol services offer businesses an affordable alternative to having an onsite presence after hours. The photo shows a client's drain pipe, which broke and began leaking a considerable amount of water on the floor. During our after hour patrol inspection, our officer noticed the break and was able to contact the building's engineer who rushed to the scene. Our officer remained onsite until his arrival. While the instance is an exception, it is peace of mind in having our patrol service provide exterior and/or interior inspections of your property and particularly during the upcoming winter months.
