Why Retailers in Toronto Need Professional Security
Toronto retailers face increasing challenges, such as:
- Organized retail crime (ORC)
- High shoplifting rates
- Repeat offenders
- Overwhelmed staff unable to monitor all aisles
- Increased aggression toward employees
- Theft of high-value goods (electronics, cosmetics, fashion, alcohol)
- Fraud attempts at POS
- Large store layouts with blind spots
Retail theft directly impacts profit, safety, and staff retention.
Our professionally trained retail security guards reduce shrinkage and enhance customer safety.
For high-traffic or event days, this can be paired with event security for crowd and line management.
Our Retail Security & Loss Prevention Services
Uniformed Retail Security Guards
A visible deterrent to shoplifting and disruptive behaviour. Our guards:
- Monitor store entrances
- Deter theft through visible presence
- Conduct floor patrols
- Respond to incidents
- Support staff with customer issues
- Assist with bag checks (store policy permitting)
Uniformed guards reduce theft dramatically in high-traffic areas.
Undercover Loss Prevention Officers
Plainclothes officers blend into your store to observe suspicious behaviour and identify known offenders. They assist with:
- Covert monitoring of high-risk aisles
- Identifying organized retail crime groups
- Following store policies for detainment (if applicable)
- Coordinating with police
- Reporting theft trends
This service works best for grocery stores, electronics, and fashion retailers.
Entry/Exit Monitoring & Access Control
Guards reinforce proper traffic flow and prevent unauthorized entry into restricted areas. Duties include:
- Monitoring entrances
- Watching for suspicious behaviour
- Checking back exits
- Ensuring staff-only doors remain secure

Shopping Mall Security
For mall-based retailers, we coordinate with mall security teams to:
- Monitor common areas
- Support large promotions or events
- Manage theft across multiple stores (if mall allows coordination)
- Monitor food court or public space activity
Mall-wide events may require additional event security for crowd control.

- Storage/back room access
Patrol routes are tailored to each store’s layout.

Conflict, Customer & Staff Safety
Retail environments often require immediate response to:
