Retail Security

We supply highly trained retail security guards in or out of uniform. Our guards provide a high-visibility deterrent to shoplifters, organised criminal gangs, and dishonest employees. They are chosen for their exceptional interpersonal skills and ability to resolve and de-escalate difficult or sensitive situations without causing a major disturbance in your store. Our guards are thoroughly vetted, highly trained and licenced to work locally across the UK and Europe.

To provide a real-time security response that catches criminals before they leave your shop, CCTV feeds must be monitored constantly. We can provide these services onsite or connect your system to our remote monitoring stations. If suspicious activity is detected, we can alert store security guards or your own nominated employees and contact the local police services. The footage is stored securely and can be provided as evidence to prosecute perpetrators.

A plainclothes security guard in your shop can mingle with shoppers, to detect suspicious activity, but this is not the only benefit. When you suspect fraud or dishonesty by an employee, our security personnel can make any number of test purchases, check receipts, and closely observe all aspects of the sale. Recent research suggests that employees working in distribution centres and stores account for 40% (£3.2bn) of all retail losses

Working in conjunction with our CCTV monitoring services, we can provide mobile patrol security checks or emergency response services should suspicious activity, vandalism, or an alarm trigger occur. When your shop is at risk, you need a rapid response to intervene before an incident turns into a serious loss. Our mobile patrol services are designed to give you the quick response you may not get from the statutory services.
