RETAIL SECURITY SERVICES

For an effective strategy to overcome retail crime that cost the sector over £600M last year. We strongly urge cooperation and engagement between private sector and public security.
There is no profile of a typical shoplifter. Most retail crimes being crime opportunity, meaning that shoplifters will target high valuable with a minimum risk and effort.
With the ASCONE (Approach Selection Concealment Observation Non-Payment Exit) checklist. R&D Retail Security Service have retail security operatives who will assess any possible shoplifter.
Another concerning aspect to consider especially to big retail stores and mall is pick pocketing. Thieves will seize any opportunity especially around the holidays where is getting extremely crowded to make off with customers goods.

Optimise the store layout to create a less thief friendly environment and placing our Retails security guards not only on the egress points but also on vulnerable corners. Providing attendance to fitting rooms where shoplifters can easily remove security tags. Instruct security guards to perform a routine security check on the RFID detection system, before opening the store and after closing time.
Carry out a customer service strategy by greeting genuine customers but also making aware potential shoplifters of our presence. Preventing them of risking being caught. CCTV equipment installed on the premises will be less effective without the presence of an R&D retail security guard that will observe customers behaviour and act as a deterrent.
Implementing a procedure for a lost child in accordance with the 2003 Licensing Act and the protection of children from harm and setting an agreed Collection Point for re-uniting with parents. Enforce a pick pocketing procedure and deter the thieves before they make off with their capture.
