GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- This year ends with a crescendo for EPS Security (EPS), West Michigan's largest residential and commercial security company, as a result of four awards the company received earlier this month at the First Alert Professional Security Systems® Awards Banquet in Hollywood, Florida.  EPS was recognized in four distinct categories, including awards in Technical, Life Safety, Community Service and Circle of Excellence areas.
