Our Retail Security Services Include

Uniformed On-Site Security Officers

Our guards are highly visible and stationed strategically—at entryways, on sales floors, or within designated patrol zones—to deter suspicious behavior and maintain order. Their presence helps de-escalate conflicts, manage emergency response, and support store personnel discreetly and professionally.

Loss Prevention Support

We integrate with your existing loss prevention strategies, aligning our services with store policies and surveillance systems. Our officers are trained to monitor behavior, report suspicious activity, and coordinate with store staff on safe detainment procedures when necessary.

Patrol Services for Retail Plazas and Centers

Our roving patrols cover large retail properties, including strip malls, parking lots, and delivery alleys. These mobile units are effective in discouraging after-hours loitering, vandalism, unauthorized access, and other activities that threaten storefront security.

Surveillance Monitoring & Alarm Response

We support your existing CCTV infrastructure and provide after-hours monitoring to ensure quick responses to triggered alarms or unauthorized activity. This service enhances your store’s ability to detect and respond to threats at any hour.
