RETAIL SECURITY IS A DIFFERENT DISCIPLINE

General security guards don't cut it in retail. The environment demands officers who understand customer flow, merchandising patterns, high-theft zones, and how to intervene without creating a scene that damages your brand.

Plainclothes Loss Prevention

Undercover officers blending with shoppers — observing, documenting, and deterring theft without disrupting the customer experience or telegraphing your security posture.

Uniformed Floor Officers

Visible uniformed presence at entrances and high-theft zones. Proven to reduce opportunistic theft while serving as a professional first point of contact for customers.

Luxury & High-Value Protection

Armed and unarmed officers trained for the unique demands of jewelry stores, luxury boutiques, and high-end retail — where every customer interaction reflects on your brand.

Multi-Location Programs

Consistent guard standards, unified reporting, and centralized account management across all your Washington State locations — from a single store to a regional chain.

Parking Lot & Exterior Security

Vehicle lot patrol, exterior perimeter coverage, and after-hours presence for auto dealerships, shopping centers, and large-format retailers.

Shrinkage Reporting & Trends

Detailed incident logs and apprehension records that give you visibility into loss patterns, peak theft windows, and ROI on your security investment.

RETAIL SECURITY FAQ

Yes. We provide armed security through our Prostasia division for jewelry stores, luxury boutiques, and any retailer handling high-value merchandise or elevated cash volumes. We currently protect several high-end retailers across the Puget Sound region.
Absolutely — multi-location programs are a core part of what we do. We currently manage security across numerous retail locations spanning King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Thurston counties under unified contracts, with consistent guard standards and centralized reporting for each client.
Uniformed officers provide visible deterrence — their presence alone reduces opportunistic theft significantly. Plainclothes officers blend with customers, observe behavior, and catch active shoplifters. Most retailers benefit from both: uniformed at entrances for deterrence, plainclothes on the floor for detection. We'll recommend the right mix for your layout and theft profile.
Yes. We plan ahead for peak retail seasons and offer surge staffing from Black Friday through New Year's, back-to-school periods, and other high-volume windows. We recommend planning 3–4 weeks in advance to ensure adequate officer availability and site orientation time.
