Retail security & loss prevention

Uniformed retail officers who deter shoplifting, support your staff and handle difficult customers calmly.

Retail security

Protect stock and staff

Shop theft and abuse of shop workers have risen sharply in recent years. A visible, well-trained security officer deters thieves, reassures staff and customers, and deals with incidents professionally.

Our retail officers focus on customer service as much as security, so they fit your brand on the shop floor.

Ask a question
Can you provide cover for busy periods only?

Yes. We can supply officers for weekends, sales or the run-up to Christmas.

Do your officers detain shoplifters?

Officers follow the law and your store's policy. Many retailers prefer deterrence and reporting over detention, and we'll agree the approach with you.

Can officers wear our uniform?

We can discuss branded uniforms for long-term contracts.
