Lts Protective Services

What Lts Protective Services does

LTS Protective Services (legal name Live To Secure (LTS) Protective Services) is a privately-held Canadian security services company founded in 2015 and headquartered at 56 Pennsylvania Ave, Unit 18A, Concord, Ontario, with a second operating location in Toronto for its LTS K9 division. The company delivers a broad portfolio of personnel-led security services including uniformed guard services, mobile patrol with marked vehicles, parking enforcement on private property, CCTV and live remote monitoring, retail loss prevention, close and executive protection, medical first response, and LTS K9 canine detection for explosives, firearms, and narcotics. Its K9 teams are sourced from VWK9 in Anniston, Alabama (and Auburn University's Canine Performance Sciences Program) and certified to North American Police Working Dog Association (NAPWDA) standards.

The company is family-owned and led by Chief Personnel Cristy Coroa and Darlene Coroa, who bring a combined 60+ years of security industry experience across uniformed security, executive protection, parking enforcement, security technology, and private investigations. Beyond core services, LTS operates adjacent revenue lines: an Ontario-licensed training course portfolio (Security Guard, Private Investigator, MLEO Parking Enforcement, Loss Prevention, Code White, First Aid) delivered in partnership with Security Guard Course Inc., and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce shop for uniforms and work apparel powered by Square.

Go-to-market is direct-to-customer through the company website, phone, contact forms, and on-site consultations, with services offered on both short-term/per-project and long-term contractual bases across Canadian and North American markets. Customer segments are use-case-driven — commercial and retail properties, industrial and construction sites, events and entertainment, corporate executives and high-net-worth individuals, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities — with no disclosed anchor accounts. The underlying technology stack is conventional (security hardware, K9 handling, and off-the-shelf commerce platforms); there are no proprietary AI/ML systems in evidence.
