LifeSafer Interlock was
formed in July 1991 by surviving pioneers of ignition interlock
technology and programs stemming back to the first state-initiated
pilot program, initiated by the State of California in 1986.
LifeSafer and its
independent service provider partners in the interlock business have
been largely responsible for driving the market from the industry
side by developing and advancing:
- legislative initiatives at the
federal and state levels;
- technological standards and
program regulations;
- hardware and software products for
the industry to emulate; and
- the most extensive distribution
and service network in the United States.
The company's strategy is
threefold:
1. Maintain its
technological leadership position through innovations that elevate
standards for the whole industry, as demonstrated by:
- introduction of the Sc100, the
first interlock to meet NHTSA standards published in 1992;
- introduction of the first
electronic information reporting system (introduced in 1994 in
West Virginia);
- introduction of an
alcohol-specific interlock (the Fc100) in 1998, which is the most
widely used interlock device in the United States today;
- introduction of LSA-Auto Plus
(2004), Internet-database driven software that fully integrates
the manufacturer/provider/jurisdiction interlock program and is
flexible and customizable to any jurisdiction's needs or
specifications; and
- introduction of a patent-pending
evidential positive identification interlock device (the FC200ID)
in 2005
2. Build and maintain its
market share leadership position, held since 1996, by avoidance of
franchising and building the largest network of independent
dedicated service provider alliances in the industry, who have an
installed base of more than thirty thousand LifeSafer devices in
over 90% of the states that have an active interlock program
3. Build and maintain a
solidly profitable and stable company, which has been and will
continue to be accomplished by:
- being focused as a low-cost, high
quality interlock manufacturer and provider of interlock products
and programs;
- providing a fully warranted,
technically supported, and aggressively priced leasing program to
ensure quality at and profitability for our service provider
partners; and
- expanding the business with our
service provider partners wherever possible. These partners
have demonstrated themselves to be operators of high-integrity
interlock programs, who relish the opportunity to operate a
business that has such a positive social impact.
