Message from the President

Hello,

My name is Michael Pope and I am President of Safety Technologies, the commercial Security division of Audio Video Interiors.  It is my pleasure to introduce you to our company.  Twenty years ago when I was first starting our business, my mentor, a wise man, once gave me some great advice:

"If you want to be successful in business, surround yourself with people who are smarter than you!  Check your ego at the door and surround yourself with the best talent you can get your hands on!"

I followed his advice and now you know the secret to my companies' success.  I have assembled the most talented team of professionals in northeast Ohio.  We have a credo that we live by: "Leading by Design". We believe that successful security solutions begin with a good design, followed up with a superior installation.

Too many times in our industry, sales people spend 15 minutes with a client, then prepare a proposal on a system that is based upon what they want to sell.  The client may not have enough knowledge on security technolgy to make an educated decision.  The resulting solution may be less than optimal.

In our process, our sales consultants do an indepth Needs Assessment with the client. The client hires Safety Technologies to create design that meets all of their needs at a budget that is acceptable for the project.  Our designs are complete with scope statements, equipment list, schematics, and plans.  The client owns the design and can choose to have Safety Technologies complete the installation or solicit bids.

If you are looking for the best value for your Security budget, then look no further. I have the best team of security professionals at your disposal!

Regards,

Michael A. Pope
