Chief executive Jay Hennick in a statement said "While the future prospects of our security division are excellent, particularly its strong internal growth potential, we concluded that accelerating the growth of our three real estate services platforms through a combination of internal growth and acquisitions would create greater long-term value for the shareholders of FirstService," [cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=CBC - FirstService sells security division to ADT Security for US$7M | date= | publisher= | url =http://www.cbc.ca/cp/business/080414/b041443A.html | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2008-04-18 | language = ]
