Retail Security Solutions
Comprehensive protection for retail environments, from single stores to large shopping centers
Analytics + plainclothes presence reduce opportunistic theft and ORC success; evidence helps recoveries.
Entrances, exits, high-value displays, back corridors, and parking lots watched continuously.
On verified alerts, patrols arrive ≈15 minutes and coordinate with PM/PD as policy dictates.
Voice-down + patrol sweeps replace idle overnight posts while improving coverage.
Right-Sized by Hour
Daytime (Guest Experience + LP)
Concierge presence, queue & crowd shaping, store assist calls, discreet plainclothes LP, parking-lot visibility.
Night/After-Hours (Remote + Patrol)
