Citizens Bank announced it is providing a $26 million senior secured credit facility to Aurora, IL-based Alarm Detection Systems.

The credit facility will be used for general corporate purposes and to finance a portion of the acquisition of Safe Systems, a privately owned security alarm company located in Colorado.

Alarm Detection Systems is a family-owned and operated company that installs and services fire alarms, CCTV and access controls.

“As a longtime client, we continue to be impressed by how quickly and effectively the Citizens team is able to complete transactions like this one,” said Terry Olah, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Alarm Detection Systems. “The funds will be used to execute our long-term growth strategy.”

“Alarm Detection Systems has a great business and we’re excited to be able to offer our expertise in security alarm industry financing to help them achieve their strategic and financial goals,” said Greg Buscone, senior vice president and market manager of Specialized Banking at Citizens.
