Guess Who's Coming To Visit?

I wonder who's coming to visit? That's what I think to myself when the doorbell rings and I'm not expecting anyone. Of course, if it's a friend, I'm happy to have visitors. The ones I'm most concerned about are those who come around when I'm not home and don't necessarily knock before coming in.

I think everyone's concerned about the unexpected guest, including people who are confident that they can take whatever's (whoever's?) coming at them. Even professional football players, arguably some of the biggest, toughest, maybe orneriest guys around. Last week the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) named ADT Custom Home Services as their preferred security partner.

In my dreams I'd want one of those guys protecting me, now I'm looking forward to protecting them. Call me if you'd like to be protected like a pro, by a pro.

From The White House To Your House

One of the things we're proud of at ADT is that the vast majority of Fortune 500 companies in the United States have chosen us as their security partner, well over 90% of them in-fact. Similarly, we're proud to have ADT systems at work at CIA headquarters, at Fort Knox, at every major international airport. ADT has systems at work in the White House and in the homes of every federal judge.

Now, in response to the recent tragedy in Tuscon, the House Sergeant at Arms, in conjunction with the U. S. Capitol Police has requested ADT's Custom Home Services division to offer U. S. House of Representatives member's offices and their residences a security survey assessment under the District Security Program, leading (of course) to ADT protection.

From the White House to your congressman's house to your house... ADT - always there.

The Basketball Diaries

As a teen you play some basketball on a neighborhood court, you develop some trick moves. You start playing basketball seriously in high school, you're good at it. By the time you're a senior you've caught the eye of some college scouts, you're very good at it. In college you play so well the national press catches on, you're very, very good at it. By the time you start your senior season, some NBA scouts are interested. Before you even graduate, you're drafted. You've grown to be an exceptional basketball player.

The number of players in the NBA varies each year. Each team can carry a maximum of 15 players, but they can carry as few as 12. At any given time the number of players in the NBA ranges from 360 to 450. The best of the best. The beloved. The despised.

As a starter for the Chicago Bulls you've got some fans. They love how you play, they love how you win. Some others, however, don't like the way you beat their team. Your fans love your style. Some others, think you're too big for your britches. Your fans figure out where you live and they start to come around. Some others figure out where you live, and they start to come around, too.

When I was asked recently to protect a celebrity basketball player's home I knew it required a degree of discretion, and I was flattered to get the call. I designed a security program that protects him from his foes and fans alike, but it's really no different than protecting you and your family.

A state-of-the-art security system, including cameras, can be quite affordable. An entry-level ADT Pulse Premiere system is a special value, right now through March 31st. Pro level protection at a neighborhood court price. Call me to learn how to take advantage of this very special offer.
