Parent Company
The Loss Prevention Foundation was founded in 2009 as a not-for-profit organization to manage the industry’s LPQ and LPC certification programs. The concept of a professional certification designation for loss prevention professionals was introduced by LP Magazine in 2006. Over a three-year period, hundreds of LP practitioners representing dozens of retail organizations worked together to build a body of knowledge that became the basis for the two certifications. The LPQualified represents a baseline of knowledge to jump-start the novice LP employee. The LPCertified represents a knowledge base necessary for someone with three to five years of experience that provides a foundation for LP management success. The LP Foundation purchased LP Magazine in 2022.
