Our clients create a challenging role for our guards so we have trained our guards to deal with the complexities surrounding these sites. It is necessary for the guard to take a friendly approach and engage with their community but to stay alert and vigilant to danger at all times to safe guard the staff and customers.

We screen our retail security guards in accordance to ensure they have an advanced DBS check as well as a referenced ten year work history.

Retail Security officers may ask people to leave a client’s property if they:
Security officers act as private members of the public and have no legal or statutory right to search any person, vehicle or building without permission.
It is most important, therefore, that security officers actually obtain permission from a person they wish to search (beforehand). Searching someone without necessary consent could result in:
Search records are to be completed by the security officer(s) conducting the search and should contain details such as:
Day, Date and time of search | Location of search | Details of person searched |
Details of vehicle / driver searched | Details of searching officer and any witness | Reason for search |
Details of search refusal | Details of found anything during search | Any actions taken; and Signature |
We can also utilise our unique Guard Patrol Monitoring System to ensure the guards are patrolling the highlighted potential risk areas in your store and that the security officer is constantly active in protecting your store. Our operations team will place electronic tags in the ‘hot spot’ areas and once scanned this will send a report to the control room. This data is available for you to utilise when investigating where shrinkages are occurring.
Our guards are trained in best practices for effective communication and people skills.
Our management is committed to provide quality support to clients at great prices.
Combined, this makes our service unbeatable.
We pride ourselves in providing a full range of Security Management Services and committed to continually improve the contents and quality. Well qualified and experienced professionals are dedicated for the growth and improvement of the security services.
