Whole-Home Security Systems
SimpliSafe: 50% Off Any New System
SimpliSafe takes 50% off any new system for first responders, and it names police, fire and EMT. Open SimpliSafe’s Protectors page, pick the first responder option, and verify through VerifyPass. You get a one-time code to use at checkout on SimpliSafe.com. The code works once and is good for one year. It can’t be combined with other offers, and it doesn’t apply to an order you’ve already placed.
Guardian Protection: 50% Off A Package Plus Free Monitoring
Guardian Protection offers military personnel, firefighters and police officers 50% off a home security package plus three months of free monitoring. Guardian doesn’t name EMS, so paramedics and EMTs should ask before they count on it. To qualify, you buy the $199 starter package, which comes with a control panel, a motion detector, four door and window sensors and one smoke, heat, carbon monoxide or flood sensor, and you sign a monitoring agreement for at least 60 months at $49.99 a month or more. Fill in the form on Guardian’s page, a Security Expert calls, and you show proof that you’re serving. The offer runs through 12/31/26, can’t be combined with other offers, and any extra equipment is paid in full.
Brinks Home: 30% Off Equipment, Up To $500
Brinks Home takes 30% off equipment, up to a $500 discount, plus free professional installation for first responders. Brinks says only “first responders” and doesn’t list jobs, so you find out whether your role fits when you call. Call 972.532.7065 or send your information on Brinks’s page, and a security consultant reaches out. The deal is for new residential customers with an equipment purchase of $499 or more, and it comes with a monitoring contract of at least 36 months starting at $49.99 a month. It doesn’t work on online orders or with financing, and it can’t be combined with other offers.
Cove: An Extra 5% Off Equipment
Cove takes an extra 5% off equipment pricing for first responders and medical staff, on top of its current sale pricing. Cove says “all first responders” and doesn’t list jobs, so you find out whether your role fits when you verify. Verify your occupation through ID.me, build your system on Cove’s site, and the discount comes off before checkout. Security cameras aren’t part of the offer.

Google Nest And Google Store: 10% Off
Google takes 10% off at the Google Store for verified first responders, through a one-time code.

It works on any product except a list that includes Nest Mini, Google Home Premium, professional installation and Pixel Care+.
Reolink: Up To 10% Off Through GovX
Reolink’s first responder discount runs through GovX, which lists up to 10% off for current and former military, first responders and law enforcement. Sign up for GovX, verify, and shop Reolink from the GovX page. GovX gives only the top rate, so check the price after you verify and before you pay.
Lockly: $40 Off Orders Of $250 Or More
Lockly takes $40 off an order of $250 or more on regular priced smart devices, verified through ID.me. Lockly’s page says “first responder” and doesn’t list jobs, so you find out whether your role fits when you verify.
