We've been using First Call Security to monitor our warehouse, and they've been fantastic to work with. It's reassuring knowing our building is professionally monitored 24/7, giving us peace of mind whether we're at the office or away after hours. Big shoutout to Pete, the installation crew, and the office staff. Everyone has been professional, responsive, and easy to work with from day one. The installation went smoothly, communication has always been great, and it's clear they take pride in what they do. If you're looking for a reliable commercial security company for warehouse security, business alarm systems, access control, or 24/7 security monitoring, I highly recommend First Call Security. We're glad we chose them and look forward to continuing to work together. read more

See all

I've known about First Call Security and Sound for nearly a decade and have known Pete for over 20 years. He has always been prompt, reliable, and consistently offers high‑quality products at fair and honest prices. We recently received service that truly stood out--Jay Jay, the technician, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. As part of a country club and HOA management team, we rely on First Call for our camera and security systems. Their continued excellence keeps us coming back, and we look forward to maintaining this relationship for many years to come. read more

Pete and his team are 100% dedicated to excellent value and customer service. Highly recommend!

We used Pete in our new store that is opening up in Palm Desert. Him and team were professional, timely, and meet our expectations. The price of the services are fair but most importantly we love supporting local businesses. read more

Highly recommend First Call Security. The initial contact with Pete was a pleasure. Very kind, honest and a great business person. Vanessa in the office is a wonderful person to work with. She's professional, pleasant and efficient. The two installers, Matthew and David, were extremely professional, kind, knew what they were doing, were on time and did a great job. Thank you First Call Security. Please support local businesses. read more

Pete and his entire team are professional and knowledgeable. The quality of their work is second to none. They were able to service, repair, and upgrade an existing security system for less than our previous provider wanted to charge for service alone. Epic customer service and support. read more

I can't say enough good things about First Call Security & Sound! From the first phone call, it was clear I was dealing with true experts who care about what they do. Pete took the time to evaluate my current setup and offered thoughtful recommendations tailored to my priorities and budget. I was surprised (and impressed) that they were willing to travel beyond the Coachella Valley to help me in the high desert area. The technicians, J.J. and James were friendly and professional and made sure to explain in detail how to use our new set up. I would highly recommend if you're looking for reliable, top-tier protection for your home or business, this is the team you want. They really go above and beyond and genuinely make you feel like part of their family. read more

JJ was extremely helpful, attentive and kind in the setup of my security camera access. Thank you!

Pete and his team are the best. They are always quick to respond and even faster to resolve an issue. I've personally worked for other security companies in the desert, and I trust Pete and his guys to get the job done right. read more

Pete is the best in the security business. I called him for a quote for an assisted living that I was the director of. He was out the same day to do the inspection. I had the proposal the next morning. He took the time to explain all of the devices and why they were important. He showed me how clear the images would be, none of those images with grainy figures that you can't make out Super clear. read more

Once again, Pete and his team provided top notch service. I inquired with Pete about updating my current camera system from an 8 channel to a 16 channel XVR system because I wanted to add another residential camera that had smart motion detection capabilities. Pete gave me an expeditious and reasonable price quote. I was contacted by Vanessa to setup a date for installation. On the date of install, JJ arrived on time and was extremely courteous/professional. During the install, JJ discovered one camera was not functioning with the new XVR system. However, Pete ordered a new camera immediately since customer satisfaction is his #1 priority! Vanessa contacted me to setup another date to install the camera once it arrived. Vanessa's friendliness, consistent updates and the ease of communication with her throughout the process was highly appreciated. JJ returned to install the new camera and made sure the XVR system was functioning properly. It is always a pleasure to do business with Pete and the First Call team! This company is trustworthy and goes above and beyond to provide a positive experience for their customers. read more

Pete, JJ and staff at First Call Security and Sound are a wonderful company to work with. Their professionalize and care for the client is their number one goal. You will be extremely happy with their service, they will explain your choices and budget that will work for you, very honest and fair. Thank you very much. Teresa read more

All I can say is my husband and I are so very happy with First call. We had our cameras replaced by First Call and they were so professional and hands on. Andrew installed high quality cameras and they work great!! We had an internet I P A address change so we had to call First Call back to assist on re loading our cameras. As usual Savanna is so pleasant to speak with and a great personality. Savanna scheduled the call and Andrew came out and fixed the problem right away. They are fast and very considerate to our needs. I would highly recommend First Call for all your security needs!! Sandy read more

I highly recommend First Call Security & Sound! From the moment you call First Call Security & Service, you know you have found the most skilled, knowledgeable professionals in the business.

Not only are they local, but they are longtime residents who understand the demographics and hotspots in the Coachella Valley. If you want the best protection for your home, family, and business, First Call should be your only call! They truly treat you like family! read more

We first did business with First call a few years ago. We had a SERIOUS safety/security issue that needed immediate attention. After speaking with the owner of First Call Security about the details, he had his crew out to our house within 24hrs. I don't know if he will ever know how grateful I am for that. Over the years we have added more cameras and alarm system. The technicians/team that this company has can't be beat. They are always on time, polite, professional and their work is absolute perfection. They took extra time to explain our system to us once install was complete. The service all the way around is top notch and reasonably priced. Our family feels much safer. We highly recommend this company, you won't be disappointed. read more

For your security needs. First call is the best. Always there to help. Friendly customer service

I must compliment the install team, they were excellent! Didn't bat an eye at my inquiry about having the door sensors black, they took care of painting them and installed it without delay. Super impressed. From my initial consultation regarding our security needs to the seamless installation. I have been nothing but impressed! read more

Needed home security system and BAM, not only did they set that up quickly, they also helped with TV set ups, cable connections, hanging the TVs, hiding the security cameras where they cant be easily escaped. Plus they really know you by NAME when you call, you're not just an address. That personal touch can't be priced. great value for VERY reasonable rates. read more

I had the most amazing experience with Pete Chryss at First Call. We had another scare with someone in our backyard again in the middle of the night. They come in turn on our pool lights, go into our shed and gather what they need. Not that the items even matter it's the fear of someone violating our home. Pete came to the rescue within a matter of hours to set up a full install of security cameras, monitoring systems the works. Knowing that First Security & Sound has our back and will be monitoring our home moving forward has taken almost all the fear away. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The Stuarts read more

I had a problem with one of our smoke detectors so looked online and found First Call Security. Savanna answered the phone and was very pleasant and set me up with the first appointment available. I love the fact they have a 2 hour window as most companies give a 5 to 6 hour window. Jonathan arrived during the time frame, fixed the problem in just a few minutes. He was extremely courteous, respectful and informed me about the other services that First Call offers. My husband and I were in business many years and this is a big deal to find out that your employee is marketing in this way. You can always tell the people who really care about their business and the service they provide when they hand you a business card, mark of a true professional. I would definitely call First Call Security again when I need them. read more

Great service, friendly staff, and extremely responsive to requests. Highlight recommend!

We relied on the reviews when searching for a security company after moving to the area and were thrilled to experience the 5-stars this company deservedly has. Our initial call with Vanessa (who was beyond helpful and patient with our questions and schedule) set the tone for how the business is run. When Pete came to give his assessment of our home's needs he was very knowledgeable, had great advice, and seemed genuinely appreciative our our business. Our installers (Matt in particular) were easy to work with, made sure we were happy with placement, and patiently answered all of our questions and made sure we were confident in the system before wrapping up (and making sure the house was clean). Vanessa kept us apprised of ETA prior and followed up to make sure everything went well. The benefits of a local, reliable company cannot be overstated- would highly recommend to anyone. read more

These guys are great! They have been in the Coachella Valley for a long time and I have always hear great things about their service. I called them because my parents home was burglarized outside while they were asleep. They scheduled me and installed the security system with cameras. Their technicians explained how the system works and what applications to download on my mobile phone. I have had the pleasure of speaking to Pete and Savanna which was comforting as I had many questions. I made a great choice and anyone looking for a business that takes the time to help you in the most stressful and upsetting times is why you should give them a call. read more

Great company, great staff! Great peace of mind knowing my family is safe and in good hands now! I would 1000% recommend them as the best in the desert to take care of your families security needs. read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Pete and is honest and really simplifies everything. He's always done our security but recently I saw our neighbors new theater system and it's incredible. I would highly recommend this company. I'll post pictures once I get my new theater. read more

Both the phone rep and the technician were outstanding. They were courteous knowledgeable and efficient. Very happy with their service. I am going to request other services this month. They are awesome!! read more

This company is stellar! If there was any question as to who you should choose to trust with your home and/or business, look no further. The staff is very courteous and professional from top to bottom and genuinely cared about our service needs. They asked all the right questions to help provide my exact needs. That alone was worth my business and I couldn't be any happier with choosing First Call Security and Sound. :) read more

Update: Things change. The house gets updated floors and the AV and security system need to update as well. Some things don't change like the excellent service from First Call. Peter and his team of experts are smart, friendly, creative and on time. We have been First Call clients and fans for years. They consistently over-deliver on their service. Their work is impeccable. The technicians are smart. They ask smart questions to understand what you want and offer ideas and solutions to achieve your goals. We had a general idea of what we wanted the AV and security system to do and how it would operate and where it would go. They took our ideas and developed a plan that exceeded expectations. They're very careful when working and seem to follow the mantra to measure twice and cut once. The communication with First Call throughout the process is amazing. If we change our mind or have a new idea, no problem they can handle it. If there's something we don't know how to do after the install, no problem. If we "break" it, no problem. They are patient, helpful, responsive and friendly. We felt like a partner in this process but they did all the work. Enough can't be said about their creativity and knowledge. The bottom line is when you have a system installed you want it to work and not have a lot of cables and other stuff cluttering up the room. First Call makes it look good, work and last. What more could you ask for. When it comes to AV and security make one call to First Call and you will be happy you did. Thank you First Call. read more

Pete is such a great person with full of positive energy! Taking to him will make you feel invited and welcomed. His customer service is next level! read more

I regret doing business with this company. Should have gone direct to ADT. The sales person for this company made it sound like they were going to install and oversee and all they did was call ADT and send them over and take credit for the sale. After getting a false sense of security that I would never have to deal with ADT, Andrew informed me that is my only option. Thanks First Call read more

Great customer service and quality service. I had them install cameras and they did a great job. Now I can view from an app on my phone.

Great customer service. Savanna was great keeping me updated on my installation. Couldn't ask for a better company to protect my family.

Burglars are a huge issues amongst college students like myself. First Call has an alarm system built into your house that will protect you from more than a minor break in. If an attacker comes and tells you to shut your alarm off, there is a special code you can use that will alert the police of the intrusion and then the alarm off at the same time. They will be on sight within minutes to protect you. I have never known of a company that offers such a luxury. What a great idea! So if you are debating whether or not to use this company, let me save you the time and say that you definitely should. read more

Thank you for keeping our cameras operating and for being so responsive to requests for service and proposals. We love First Call!

We needed to have four TVs in our house set up for streaming instead of cable. We had no idea what we were doing, so we called First Call. Best thing we ever did. They came over with all the equipment and the knowledgeable technician (Andrew) walked us through it step-by-step. In an hour, we were all set. This saved us a world of trouble and headaches. Seriously, worth every penny, and they're really not that expensive give the value of their services. read more
