The Story Behind Cook Security Group's Famous BBQ Sauce:
Many of our customers love our Cook Security Group BBQ Sauce and ask us the “story behind the sauce”. We bought a batch from one of our customers to give away at a trade show one year and it was a surprising hit. However, we failed to bring sauce the following year and there was a major uproar! We brought back the BBQ sauce, customized the label. The sauce became a signature of Cook Security Group and we now give it away at each trade show we attend throughout the year!

Behind the 'We Make it Happen' Slogan:
Our slogan was actually given to us by our customers. It is no secret that we have built our structure with one goal in mind… service our customers and make their lives easier. That is why if we get a call at 4:58pm on a Friday due to an alarm failure, we will still come to the rescue! Our customers were repeatedly saying “You guys make it happen!” We heard it so much that we took it to heart, hence our slogan, “We Make it Happen!”
