Security
Highly visual uniformed presence deterring antisocial behavior and shop theft. The mainstay in the fight against retail crime. Our officers are trained to high standards that exceed those set by the current British Standards.
Plain clothed officers for the detection and apprehension of offenders. Store Detectives are the ideal compliment to Uniformed Officers when the targeting of persistent offenders not deterred by a highly visual presence is required.
Both Uniformed officers and Store Detectives are trained to deal with incidents from start to finish. This means that as well as detecting and apprehending offenders, personnel will complete all relevant paperwork and statements.
Teams of two or more plain clothed officers used specifically to target problem stores to quell theft and public order incidents. These teams have covert CCTV, radios and camcorders at their disposal for this purpose. Teams will deal with all incidents that occur in your store as well as in any adjacent store car park or other property.
We are able to provide uniformed officers to existing Shopwatch Schemes who wish to set up a Security Patrol between its members. Officers patrol between stores linked by radio. Should a member require any assistance that the officer can be called upon to attend the store. The presence of an officer patrolling shopping areas can greatly reduce instances of begging, drunkenness and public order offences. These schemes have been highly beneficial to those members involved.
The discreet investigation of potential internal theft and related problems. It is often said that staff theft can have a bigger impact on the profitability of a company than customer theft. This is due to the opportunity for staff to steal in greater quantity and over a longer period of time. Full case files supplied on completion of investigation. We are also able to investigate staff members who may have a second job when not permitted by their contract of employment.

The random or targeted search of personnel in accordance with company policies. Normally carried out after store closing. The search itself can include any personal belongings of the employee as well as any vehicle.
Discreet investigations into harassment of employees due to race, colour, religion or sex.
