Minimizing theft losses is crucial to the success of any retail store. With the pervasiveness of customer shoplifting and theft by employees, these establishments must take proactive steps to reduce the risk.
Security guards are prominent in any well-crafted loss prevention strategy. These well-trained professionals can provide an extra layer of defense that can significantly reduce criminal activity and minimize the effects of theft on your business’s bottom line.
The Guard Alliance is an experienced security firm serving retailers in cities across the U.S with retail security guard services. We understand the threats your business faces every day — and what it takes to meet the challenge.
Examples of retail security services focus areas include:
Employee pilfering is an issue at many retail establishments, as workers have easy access to the merchandise during handling processes like shipping, stocking and storage. Our loss prevention security guards will monitor the backrooms, warehouses and other vulnerable areas to lower the risk.
By establishing a robust visible presence, our guards can deter customers who intend to steal from your store. We can also utilize video and plain clothes surveillance techniques to catch perpetrators in the act.
We’ll help you establish procedures to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering offices, storerooms or other off-limits areas in your store. We’ll also monitor shoppers as they enter and leave the facility.
Our vehicles will roam your store’s parking lots to detect suspicious individuals before they enter the building.
Our on-site presence enables us to respond promptly to active shooter incidents, fights, medical emergencies and other urgent situations.
As a leading retail security guard service company, we recognize that no two retail stores are alike, meaning that each has unique areas of vulnerability. Our approach involves uncovering and addressing the security threats impacting our clients’ day-to-day operations.
We typically begin by conducting a comprehensive threat assessment and risk analysis to determine the “red flag” areas that require the most protection. We’ll then craft a targeted retail store security guard strategy that ensures the most effective and reliable coverage. We encourage our clients’ input throughout the process to provide the best outcome for every situation.
The Guard Alliance offers a team of professional, well-trained armed security guards, unarmed guards, and fire watch guards who know how to react to any security situation in a retail environment. Many of our guards have military and law enforcement experience, enabling them to skillfully handle any security challenge.
You’ll also enjoy doing business with our firm. We believe in forming long-term partnerships with our clients and being responsive to their needs. Our pricing is transparent — you never have to worry about surprise charges or hidden fees.
