== History ==
Securitas AB was founded in 1934 in [[Helsingborg]], [[Sweden]], as AB Hälsingborgs Nattvakt, when Erik Philip-Sörensen bought a small guarding company. In 1935, the name was changed to Förenade Svenska Vakt AB. The company expanded through acquisitions of several small security companies, initially in southern Sweden.<ref name="vaktavvarde">{{cite book | last = Söderberg | first = Sten | title = Vakt av värde |trans-title=Guard of value | publisher = Securitas (printed by Kugel Tryckeri AB) | location = Stockholm | year = 1979 | language = sv }}</ref>
In 1949, AB Securitas Alarm was founded as the company's security technology subsidiary, and during the following decade, the company started expanding internationally.<ref name="vaktavvarde" />
Securitas made its first technical breakthrough in 1961 with the Securi-Coll automatic access control system. The company then introduced a payment system for petrol stations in Sweden, which was later modified to enable cash withdrawals. On May 7, 1968, Securitas launched the world's first ATM linked to a banking system at Oxie Sparbank in Malmö.<ref name="techbreakthrough">{{cite web |title=Guarding meets technology |url=https://www.securitas.com/en/about-us/our-history/the-securitas-journey-celebrating-our-history/guarding-meets-technology/ |publisher=Securitas AB |access-date=2025-04-29}}</ref>
In 1972, the group was [[rebranding|rebranded]] as [[Securitas]], the [[Roman mythology|Roman goddess]] of security and stability,<ref>Dictionary of Roman Religion, Lesley Adkins and Roy A. Adkins, 2001, Oxford Univ Press, {{ISBN|978-0-19-514233-4}}</ref> with a [[logotype]] consisting of three red dots and the word "Securitas".

In 1976, Erik Philip-Sörensen sold the Securitas group to his sons Jörgen Philip-Sörensen and Sven Philip-Sörensen,<ref name="vaktavvarde" /> and in 1981, the group was divided between the sons, with the international operations developing into [[Group 4 (company)|Group 4]] and the Swedish operations retaining the Securitas brand.<ref name="webhist">{{cite web |url = http://www.securitas.com/en/About-Securitas/Our-History/ |title = Our History |access-date = 2011-02-21 |publisher = Securitas |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110524045536/http://www.securitas.com/en/About-Securitas/Our-History/ |archive-date = 2011-05-24 }}</ref>
In 1983, Securitas was sold to the [[holding company]] Skrinet, and in 1985, it was acquired by [[Investment AB Latour]], controlled by [[Gustaf Douglas]]. Under the new ownership, the group focused on security, and in 1989, an international expansion began with acquisitions in [[Norway]], [[Denmark]], and [[Portugal]] and the establishment of [[Hungary]].<ref name="webhist" /><ref name="AR2000">{{cite web |url = http://www.securitas.com/Global/_DotCom/Annual%20reports/AR%2000.pdf |title = Annual Report 2000 |access-date = 2011-02-21 |publisher = Securitas |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111004125004/http://www.securitas.com/Global/_DotCom/Annual%20reports/AR%2000.pdf |archive-date = 2011-10-04 }}</ref>

=== On-site guarding === Securitas' primary operations are their on-site security and guarding services. Through their on-site guarding division, Securitas provides on-site security officers in various roles. Most commonly Securitas officers are hired for standing rolls, reception, patrol, and vehicle patrol. Specialty assignments can also include [[Fire lookout|fire-watch]], fire extinguisher testing, access control and badging, console operations, safety auditing, alarm & emergency response, and what Securitas refers to as "customized and site-specific security tasks". Additionally, Securitas offers special event security services, primarily for concerts and sporting events.<ref>{{Cite web |title=On-site Security & Guarding |url=https://www.securitasinc.com/services/on-site-guarding/ |access-date=2023-10-25 |website=www.securitasinc.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Integrated Guarding |url=https://www.securitasinc.com/services/integrated-guarding/ |access-date=2023-10-25 |website=www.securitasinc.com |language=en}}</ref>
=== Mobile patrol === Securitas operates a mobile patrol division, which they refer to as "mobile guarding". Businesses wanting security but not needing full time guards can subscribe to a mobile patrol service where officers will patrol the property one to a few times a night. The subscription also includes incident response services for security concerns occurring when an officer is not currently on-site.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mobile Patrol Services |url=https://www.securitasinc.com/services/mobile-guarding/mobile-patrol-services/ |access-date=2023-10-25 |website=www.securitasinc.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2" />
=== Remote guarding === Remote Guarding services involve Securitas officers monitoring a customer's site from an off-site command center. If suspicious activity is noticed, Securitas can use speakers to talk to people on-site as well as notify the police or other emergency services when necessary. Mobile patrol officers are also often used to respond to incidents discovered by a remote guarding officer. Securitas also offers remote escort services that involve an off-site officer watching an employee walk to or from their vehicle.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Remote Guarding |url=https://www.securitasinc.com/services/remote-guarding/ |access-date=2023-10-25 |website=www.securitasinc.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2" />
