Public safety technology built for the realities of modern cities
From transit hubs to community centres, LoiterBlock helps public sector teams maintain welcoming, safe spaces, and respond to vulnerable people faster, with less strain on staff.
Spaces that work for everyone
Public facilities should feel safe and welcoming for the people who depend on them most. When spaces become difficult to use, whether due to safety concerns or staff being stretched thin, the whole community loses access to critical services.
When someone lingers past the threshold, LoiterBlock responds automatically with audio and visual deterrents. Most of the time, that's enough. The person moves on, and no one needs to intervene. When deterrence doesn't resolve the situation, your team gets an alert so they can respond with the right resources, whether that's a wellness check, outreach, or emergency services. Staff time is spent on situations that genuinely need it, not routine patrols.
Privacy-first by design
Public accountability matters. LoiterBlock's detection is radar-based, with no reliance on cameras, facial recognition, or video analytics, meaning no biometric data is captured or shared. An optional still-image verification camera is available for dashboard confirmation of deterrence events, but it is never used for detection and no video is recorded. Built to align with municipal privacy obligations and public trust.
A faster path to the right response
When someone is in distress in a public space, whether experiencing a mental health crisis, a medical emergency, or a drug overdose, the difference between a good outcome and a bad one is often time.
LoiterBlock alerts staff the moment someone has been in a space longer than expected. That's an early signal, before a situation becomes a crisis. Staff can reach that person sooner, and connect them with social services, wellness workers, or emergency responders as needed.
It's not about moving people out. It's about making sure no one is left unnoticed.
Alerts go out before situations escalate, giving your team more time to respond with care, not in a high-tension moment.
A faster notification means faster referral, to outreach workers, social services, or emergency care, depending on what someone needs.
Prolonged inactivity in unsupervised areas like washrooms or stairwells can flag a potential medical emergency, prompting a wellness check before it becomes critical.
Smarter use of your team's time
Your staff can't be everywhere. LoiterBlock acts as a continuous, consistent presence, monitoring spaces and alerting your team only when a response is needed. Less time reacting to routine situations. More capacity for the moments that matter.
Reduce unnecessary dispatch
Staff are notified when a situation persists, not for every passing person. Fewer false alarms, more focused responses.
Audit-ready activity logs
Every alert is logged, giving you a clear record to support staffing decisions, funding requests, or reporting requirements.
Built for cities that care about getting it right
