Brink’s Home Security was spun off from its parent company, The Brinks Company, in 2008. The Brink’s Company has been offering its clients home security since 1983. Richmond, Virginia is home to The Brink's Company, a well-known security and protection provider. The original Brink’s Company emerged from the Pittston Company in 2003.

Brink’s Home Security assumed the name Broadview Security in 2009. The company’s headquarters is in Irving, Texas. After separating from the parent company, Brink’s Home Security had 1.3 million customers in the United States and Canada. In 2010, Broadview Security was acquired by Tyco International for $2 billion. Broadview Security was transitioned into the ADT Company and now operates under that company. ADT is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida under the leadership of Naren K. Gursahaney.

Prior to its focus on home security, the company focused only on transporting valuables world-wide in bullet-resistant armored trucks. This portion of the company secures 44 percent of their business from outside the country. In 2005, the company had 54,000 employees serving people in more than 50 different countries.

Brinks careers were rewarding to some employees in the industry. In most areas of the company, the management was respected. Working at Brink’s Home Security, employees were most impressed by the Brinks benefits package. Of all the categories, this particular area scored the highest. The company focused on career development according to most of the former employees. Career development required training of employees both on-site and off-site.
