Raymond Mahoney Sr., was a Glens Falls City Fireman who then became a part-time fire alarm dealer for the Notifier Company which operated out of a storefront office in Nebraska.

During the 60’s Raymond Mahoney Sr., introduced the idea of receiving systems at the town’s County Municipal Center. The system meant a business could have a direct security monitor connection to the police. It was a first for the Glens Falls area.

Raymond Mahoney Sr., had his major breakthrough when he sold & installed a new and improved emergency alarm system for the City of Glens Falls, NY. The system was based on telephone communications, with each emergency box containing a phone. In an emergency the caller would pick up the phone, wait for the operator and then describe the emergency in order to receive the necessary aid needed within the least amount of time.

Raymond Mahoney Sr., resigned from the Glens Falls City Fire Department in order to devote his full energies to the business. To expand his business he purchased the building on 15 Cooper Street, Glens Falls, NY, which is headquarters for Mahoney Notify-Plus Inc., to this day. The early phase of the business was in home fire alarm sales but then it took a turn into industrial systems and flourished.

Raymond Mahoney Sr., acquired a trophy and plaque engraving business. The business was originally located in the lower level of 15 Cooper Street and later moved across the street for additional space.

Raymond Mahoney Sr., bought a local armored car and courier service. The armored car was available to all area businesses, residents and municipalities who feel a need for security related and time sensitive material assured pick ups and deliveries.

Sidenote: “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan (professional WWE wrestler) was our first driver for the armored car & courier service.

Raymond Mahoney Sr., invested in his own in-house central monitoring station which then made Mahoney Notify-Plus Inc., a completely independent alarm service and monitoring company.

Mahoney Notify-Plus Inc., was contracted by counties to begin a new house arrest program for alternative sentencing versus incarceration. Ankle devices were fitted on offenders, a schedule was devised and the ankle device would transmit to our office every time an offender left and returned to their home.

Ray Mahoney Sr.’s son, Kevin Mahoney, has worked at Mahoney Notify for his lifetime starting as technician and working up to President & CEO upon Ray Mahoney Sr.’s demise and has continued the vision and attitude his father started.

Continuing the family tradition, Kevin Mahoney’s son, Kyle Mahoney, also has been a part of the company his entire working career.
