Rockford Corp., which owns Crimestopper, announced the retirement of an industry leader in car security, Howard Miller.
Miller and his wife Sharon founded Crimestopper in 1980 and built it into a leading car security brand that was purchased by Rockford last year. At that time, Miller became a consultant to Rockford.
Miller will remain at Rockford until June 30.
“It’s been quite a ride,” said Miller. “Sharon and I started Crimestopper with humble beginnings with quite literally nothing, and built it up to one of the most respected brands in the industry over the past four decades. There are too many people to recognize for helping us along the way, but we do thank each and every one of them.”
Rockford President and CEO Bill Jackson said of Miller, “He …has a work ethic that is second to none. He is one of those iconic people in the industry that basically everyone knows and everyone likes because of his personality and professionalism.”
During the last decade of Crimestopper’s 35-year history, the company branched into driver safety, car tracking, collision avoidance and parking sensor systems, cameras and monitors, DVR systems, and tire pressure monitoring systems.

Congrats to Howard and his family. Everytime I saw him at a trade show, he has always been very very friendly and always had the time to talk to me. I wish him nothing but success in his next life venture.
Congratulations Howard and Sharon! I met Howard back in 1977….I was working for an Electronic Distributor in Redondo Beach at the time and Howard stopped in to purchase “N” batteries for a 5 watt pager he was marketing. Crazy how time flies!!
Wishing you and Sharon all the best….enjoy every minute of your retirement!
Congrats on the retirement.
35 years is a long time.

I can respect all of your accomplishments
Good luck to you both
