Homeland Security

Put a camera here...install an alarm there...add more guards here…prohibit parking there...”

The list of quick fixes goes on and on. We see it all the time. Now more than ever, companies have become very security conscious. Recent events have triggered concerns across the nation. Yet few companies have the qualified resources available to truly assess the efficacy of their program, identify where opportunities to improve exist, and effectively achieve the needed improvements. As a result, they often end up spending tens of thousands of dollars on hardware, software, and staffing that may not have been necessary.

At Sorensen, Wilder & Associates (SWA) we have been helping companies improve their safety and security programs since 1990. We start with a comprehensive assessment performed by qualified security professionals. After the assessment, we provide you with a detailed analysis of our findings. Then, we work with your management team to effect improvements.

We do not believe in the use of "boiler plate" programs. Every facility we visit is unique, and our services are customized to meet the needs of each on an individual basis.

SWA's services include a complete line of security assessments; development of customized security policies and procedures; and extensive employee training programs. As a value-added service for our clients, we can also provide onsite assistance to your management team during the implementation phase of enhancements to your safety/security program. Additionally, SWA provides no-cost telephone consultation to our clients, as a way of adding value to to the services we provide to our valued clients.

We have been very successful helping our clients save money, cut their losses and most of all, maximize safety and security for employees and customers. There has never been a more appropriate time to address your company’s safety and security issues. It only takes one negative incident to quickly erode your company’s customer base and good reputation.
