Retail Security / Loss Prevention

Retail businesses cannot thrive and prosper unless premises, stock, employees and customers have a safe and secure environment. Retailers face numerous challenges in this tough economic climate. At G8 Security, we work with our retail clients to build solutions that combine our knowledge of in-store security processes and technology with our knowledge of the retail world.

G8 Security provides highly professional retail loss prevention officers who will manage in-store security programs that focus on reducing inventory losses due to employee theft, shoplifting, fraud, vendor theft, and accounting errors.

G8 Security can provide plain clothes / undercover or uniformed security officers or a combination of both to help increase the safety of your company and protect your inventory & assets by cutting out criminal or illegal activity, particularly in the retail, manufacturing, and transportation industries.

Benefits of Hiring Loss Prevention Security

External Threats:

This includes any threats from outside your company or business that could include shoplifting, organized threats or crime. G8 Security officers are trained to observe, identify, and prevent thefts from occurring at your business. This is done by a combination of visual observation and examination of visitors to your premises in both person and video surveillance systems.

Internal Threats:

Internal threats mainly include employee theft and damage whether it be opportunist, disgruntled or continued criminality. G8 Security officers are trained to observe employees, look for suspicious activities and monitor their behaviour when working with cash registers, POS systems, stock and company assets. All activities are recorded so any problems can be solved quickly and effectively.

Cost Effective:

G8 Security can give quantitative analysis reports to the client, this helps clients to easily monitor the cost-effectiveness of the loss prevention activity, loss prevention is a measurable service in security as actual thefts and property recovered is documented and the proactive nature of this type of service can also prevent criminal damage before it occurs.

Loss Prevention Security can be used at a variety of locations

Retail Stores:

Our retail loss prevention and asset protection officers have significant experience and can be used to blend in with other shoppers or customers to help better identify shoplifters, problematic employees, or other security breaches.

Warehouses / Logistic operations:
