Why Ackerman Was Founded
As an accomplished real estate developer, Charles Ackerman never thought he would enter the field of home security. But one night in 1967, his life went in a whole new direction. A criminal broke into his Atlanta home, and amid the scuffle, Ackerman suffered a gunshot.
Thankfully, Ackerman survived. But as life went on, he resolved to make sure that it never happened again-not to him, his neighbors, or any other Atlanta resident.
At the time, there were only a few home security options available to average working Americans. So, he saw his chance to launch his own company: Ackerman Security.

Since its inception, the company has worked hard to keep Atlanta homeowners from every neighborhood safe and protected. Moreover, our team goes the extra mile to ensure complete customer satisfaction.
