Allied Universal Honored with Two Awards at ASIS International Seminar & Exhibits

Conshohocken, PA and Santa Ana, CA, September 29, 2016 – Allied Universal, a leading facility services company and the largest security force in North America, received awards in two categories at the inaugural Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) at the ASIS International 62nd Annual Seminar and Exhibits.

Allied Universal won for “Outstanding Security Training Initiative” and “Outstanding Contract Security Officer” on behalf of Christian Sorto, an Allied Universal Senior Supervisor who is based in Ashburn, Virginia.

“This OSPA security training initiative recognizes companies that have made a difference in improving security practices via training and we are honored to have been given this prestigious award,” says Brent O’Bryan, Vice President, Corporate Training, Allied Universal. “We developed a training program designed to increase time to productivity, improve employee retention and increase the percentage of ‘ready now’ leaders. The program provides employees at all levels with a consistent and clear path to success.”

DelMar Laury, Regional President, Allied Universal, said, “Christian Sorto is an outstanding role model for others considering entering the security industry. Within one year of being hired as a security officer, he was promoted to shift supervisor. He is deserving of this prestigious award as he has shown remarkable growth personally and professionally.”

Sorto later became senior supervisor and currently has the responsibility of overseeing a client’s highly-regarded Security Response Center.

The Outstanding Security Performance Awards recognize and reward companies and individuals across the security sector. The OSPAs are designed to be both independent and inclusive, providing an opportunity for outstanding performers, whether buyers or suppliers, to be recognized and their success to be celebrated.
