What are the benefits of retail security?

From angry shoppers to shoplifters, retail staff are regularly faced with unwarranted confrontation. Well-meaning staff can be at the forefront of a disgruntled customer but they are not trained to handle escalating situations. This is where an expert security officer can help. Here at SecurePro, we take a look into the benefits of retail security;

Visual presence

A manned guard is a visible presence on your premises. They can be a thief deterrent and provide expertise when called upon. Manned Security is a highly effective way of eliminating criminal damage and theft. Sometimes guards are placed on premises during the night, or at an event/shop when other members of staff are still present. Not only are they there to protect assets but also to prevent unauthorised access.

Provide a safe place

Having security in place, gives staff and customers peace of mind. If any dangers were to arise, then appropriate measures will be taken immediately to ensure a safe and secure environment

Monitor danger closely

Retail premises can benefit from CCTV remote monitoring. This can be monitored during the day giving the option of having multiple vantage points at any one time..Designed to give the ultimate level of protection, security staff can monitor the premises 24/7, ensuring any threat is dealt with quickly and effectively.

Immediate response

Trained security personnel are able to rapidly deploy on-site to deal with the situation effectively. Experts conduct a thorough site inspection to assess any risks to the shop, apprehending and detaining any individuals conducting criminal activity if required. Furthermore, emergency services can be alerted, with updates as and when necessary.
