NorthStar was formed in 2000, originally to take advantage of unique marketing opportunities created with the deregulation of public utilities brought about by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 [2]. Its original focus was in the telecommunication and energy markets. Because of the strong sales background of the company and its management, other service companies expressed interest in working with NorthStar to increase their customer base.
NorthStar Alarm Services, LLC was created in 2001. The company began operating sales offices in Ohio. Since then, the company has established a customer base in New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, North Carolina, Washington, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Texas. NorthStar Alarm Services partners with UL listed [3] Rapid Response Monitoring to provide advanced digital and two-way voice monitoring available.
