Overview

What Retail Security Protects

Retail security is officers who deter theft, watch for fraud, and keep staff and customers safe in stores during open and closing hours. Learn more about security guards on Wikipedia.

Every open hour carries theft and safety risk. A visible officer deters shoplifting while discreet observation catches organized theft before it leaves the floor. We are fully BSIS licensed, bonded, and insured, with a plan built around your retail store, its hours, layout, and risk. Our officers are state-licensed through the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS).
