This addition will be the first location in Hawaii for Pye-Barker, which now has a presence in 47 U.S. states.

Founded in 2019, Lifeline Fire & Security offers innovative security monitoring solutions that go beyond video surveillance with AI-driven video verification and live operator intervention. Ranked No. 43 on the SDM 100, the company also protects customers with security, access control, mobile proactive video monitoring and 24/7 monitoring solutions.

The company – led by owners Todd Bedford and Stuart Lowe – has set a new standard for integrated safety solutions by combining state-of-the-art technology with highly trained security monitoring professionals to identify and address threats in real-time before they escalate.

Lifeline's commitment to customers and community is reflected in its philanthropic and volunteering efforts in support of cancer research, military veterans and children's charities. Lifeline's values – aligned with Pye-Barker's – include commitment to each other, being accountable, striving for growth and using innovation as a way to better serve their communities.

"Proactive video monitoring is the future of security," said Todd Bedford, co-owner of Lifeline Fire & Security. "We're grateful to be part of Pye-Barker, where we can deliver our life-saving security solutions to more communities while being part of something bigger. As part of Pye-Barker's integrated life safety services and family-like culture, our support for customers and team can only grow."

Now in our 47th state, I'm humbled by the dedication of our team and the impact we're making across the country."
