What is an LPF Scholarship?

Each year, Vector Security Networks® grants a number of LPF Loss Prevention (LPQ) and Loss Prevention Certified (LPC) scholarships to the LP/AP Community. Worthy candidates for the scholarships have shown a dedication to a long-term career in North American retail loss prevention, and a willingness to commit themselves to continuing their education.
