ADT Security's LSS concept is a proactive service that focuses specifically on the safety needs of a community. Projects have included the installing of boom operations, the placement of roving guards to patrol predetermined areas and bicycle patrols. Most recently, the LSS has assisted some communities with renewed road closure applications.
