Tri-State Security, established in 1991 by Dave and Kay Hindman, has grown from a small telecommunications business into a full-service security firm serving Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Originally starting as World Radio Telecommunications (WRT), the company provided services related to business telephone systems. In 1994, the incorporation of WRT and a subsequent move to a historic building in Steubenville, Ohio, marked the beginning of their significant growth.
By 1998, the company expanded its operations to include data services and became a Dell Reseller, providing other technology services such as computer networking and web hosting. The pivotal moment came in 2007, when the Hindmans acquired a full-service security business, which they integrated under the Tri-State Security name. The company specializes in the installation, servicing, and monitoring of security, fire, access control, and camera systems.
With a dedicated team of certified technicians and a fleet of 20 vehicles, Tri-State Security has built a loyal customer base of over 5,000 across various sectors, including commercial, residential, education, government, and healthcare. Their commitment to quality and customer service is deeply rooted in their family values and Christian principles, emphasizing integrity in all their interactions.
Today, Tri-State Security remains a prominent player in the security industry, offering 24/7 support and a range of advanced technological solutions to meet the evolving needs of their clients, all while honoring the foundation laid by its founders. The Hindman family continues to lead the company, ensuring a personal touch while expanding their services and maintaining community involvement.
