Prestonsburg, KY Business and Home Security Company
Bates Security, Formerly ABCO Security
No other local security company has served the Prestonsburg and other Eastern Kentucky communities for as long as ABCO Security. And we are excited to continue that tradition of customer service and professionalism under the name of Bates Security.
Our merger with Bates Security has brought exciting new changes for both new and existing customers of ABCO Security. But some things have not changed, including our commitment to treating our customers like family and our longstanding relationships with the families in businesses in historic Prestonsburg.

About Us
Our Principles
We bring a law-enforcement perspective to every custom security project
When Sonny Bates bought Sonitrol in 1969, he reinvented how our team went about securing homes and businesses. Sonny understood the criminal mind better than most thanks to his law enforcement background. His techniques are still used by our company to this day.
We have customer service that cares
Who wants to talk to a recording on the phone, when you need customer service now? No one! When you call us, you'll always get live customer service at our customer service center.
We use only the best security equipment
As a police officer, Sonny quickly learned that cheap security equipment was about as useful as having no equipment at all. That's why, to keep you safe, we only install equipment from the very best security brands in the country.
