How does SORA impact agency accountability?

The impact of the Security Officer Registration Act (SORA) on agency accountability is primarily through the imposition of strict regulations for maintaining licensure. This means that agencies must adhere to specific standards and practices set forth by SORA to obtain and retain their licenses to operate. These regulations often encompass various aspects of agency operations, including training requirements, background checks for security personnel, and compliance with ethical standards.

By enforcing these requirements, SORA holds agencies accountable for the actions of their personnel, ensuring that individuals employed in security roles are properly trained and qualified. This level of oversight helps to enhance the professionalism of the security industry and contributes to public trust in security services. Agencies failing to comply with SORA’s requirements may face penalties, including loss of licensure, which further reinforces their accountability in the field.
