The Sorensen organization played a foundational role in the development of industrial security by shifting the focus toward comprehensive loss-control services. Rather than providing general law enforcement or investigative services, the organization specialized in mitigating risks to industrial operations.1
To help industries prevent losses, the Sorensen organization provided personnel specifically trained to identify, prevent, and manage threats arising from:
- Crime
- Fire
- Accidents
- Flood
By establishing this specialized model, the organization set the standard for professional security services throughout the United Kingdom and much of western Europe.1
