Aressco, Inc. was incorporated in 1979 by Don Richter, then 18, as a means of paying for his college education. After college, the increasing need for security systems in south Florida would turn it into his career. Aressco grew to become a respected name in the alarm industry in South Florida, with thousands of satisfied customers from Palm Beach to the Keys. Assured Security Company began operations in Homestead, Florida in 1974. In 1985, Matthew Forristall and his partner, Robert Houston, assumed control, and Assured grew into Homestead's premier security and fire alarm company. Assured provided monitoring and service across the State of Florida, with the majority of its customers residing in Dade and Monroe counties. In 1992, following Hurricane Andrew, Assured, like most of Homestead, had to start over. By 1995, with its reputation for quality and personalized service, it had become the largest independent alarm company in Homestead. In 1995 and 1996, the alarm industry underwent a massive consolidation, and a large percentage of smaller independent alarm companies were acquired by larger companies. It was during that time that both companies, like many other local independent alarm companies, were acquired by Republic Industries. In a little over one year, however, Republic sold off their alarm division, abandoned the industry, and became what is now known as AutoNation USA.
