Company History

The Protection Bureau is one of the largest Security System Integrators in the Mid-Atlantic Region, and is consistently rated among SDM Magazine's “Top 100 System Integrators." Our services start with a free consultation and risk/threat analysis, moves into planning, design, system engineering, value analysis, development of integration, installation, and service after the sale.

We are headquartered in Exton, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia, and have a branch office (sales, installation and service) in South Plainfield, NJ. From these bases, we are able to service the entire Mid-Atlantic Region (PA, NJ, MD, DE, DC). Utilizing our business partners in “Security-Net” and PSA, we are able to expand our coverage into all of New York State, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Virginia.

Our company, founded in 1975, is led by the second generation of the Ladd family. We take special pride in being a UL Listed fire alarm installation company and the fact that we operate our own Central Monitoring Station at our headquarters. We believe the security of our clients is too important to farm out or to sub-contract to others. When you call us at 2 AM, you will be greeted by a full time company employee, dedicated to serving you as one of our most important customers. This is how we can say,

“We are BIG enough to protect, small enough to care.”

Exceptional performance requires each employee to work together cohesively toward a common goal of client satisfaction. In order to provide quality service along with advanced technology, The Protection Bureau has revolutionized the process of true end-to-end security.
