Loss Prevention Security
Retail shrink is not a fact of life. It's a solvable problem.
What this covers
Loss prevention is 30% presence and 70% pattern recognition. We deploy plain-clothes officers trained in shoplifting behavioural analytics, sweetheart-fraud detection, and organized retail crime (ORC) case-building. Our investigators file Crown-ready packages — not just incident reports.
For chains, we layer POS exception reporting, CCTV analytics, and interview-and-interrogation compliance training for your own team. Every apprehension is filmed, witnessed, and documented to a criminal-court standard.
Plain-clothes and uniformed loss prevention officers, ORC investigations, POS analytics, and shrink audits.
From walkthrough to first shift.
Every loss prevention security deployment follows the same four-step engagement — no short-cuts, no template quotes, no officer placed on a site they've never walked.
A regional supervisor visits your site, interviews stakeholders, and documents current pain points, existing systems, and shift patterns.
We draft a site-specific Standard Operating Procedure — post orders, escalation ladder, uniform posture, reporting cadence — and review it with your team before deployment.
Officers are hand-picked from our regional roster based on skill fit, language requirements, and prior experience with your industry. No random assignments.
Coverage begins on the agreed date, with the first two weeks audited by the regional supervisor. We course-correct in real time — not at a quarterly review.
