Local. Licensed.
No Runaround.
J3 Security is a service-disabled veteran-owned security company based in Escanaba, MI. We install and monitor professional alarm systems, IP cameras, and access control for homes and businesses across Delta and Menominee Counties.
We built J3 Security on one idea: security should be simple. No confusing packages, no national call centers, no technicians who disappear after installation. You call us, we answer.
Michigan law requires a valid alarm contractor license for any alarm system installation, service, or monitoring. J3 Security holds Michigan License #3601300427 — active and in good standing. Before you sign anything with any security company, ask to see their license number.

Why Do We Provide Security?
You should feel comfortable wherever you are — free to live your life, run your business, and not worry about what’s happening at your property. A professionally installed and monitored system isn’t just a sticker in the window. It’s a live response when something goes wrong.
Burglars check first
83% of offenders say they check for alarm systems before targeting a property. Visible security changes the calculus.
Safer homes
The FBI reports homes with security systems are 2.7 times less likely to be burglarized than those without.
Live monitoring
When your alarm trips at 2am and you’re asleep or away, our UL-listed monitoring center responds — not a recording.
What Makes Us Different
There are national chains. There are DIY kits. And then there’s a licensed local company that knows the county, knows local code, knows local law enforcement, and picks up the phone.
Licensed & Accountable
We hold Michigan License #3601300427 and pass background checks, quarterly state reporting, and electrical theory testing. You can verify us.
Simple to Use
Systems you can arm from your phone, check cameras remotely, and actually understand. We don’t leave until you’re comfortable with every feature.
No Lock-In
Month-to-month monitoring from $30. No 3-year contracts, no activation fees, no penalties. Your first month costs the same as your last.
Local Response
