Security Patrol

Retail thefts are not only increasing, but more of them are being committed by criminal networks that are becoming more brazen and aggressive according to the National Retail Federation. The CEO of the Best Buy chain stores, Corie Barry, blamed organized theft as the main reason for the store’s recent decline in profits. While Best Buy is working to increase a security presence in some of their stores, most security guards and loss prevention agents are not armed or trained to engage with suspects or handle emergency situations because of the risk of violence or injury. Their duty is to “observe and report.” While producing witnesses is an essential element of prosecuting crimes, who do these reports go to after the incident is over? And what action will be taken to resolve it? These are questions that can be answered by hiring and maintaining a trained security patrol in your stores business, storesor shopping malls.

We all know that the police departments and sheriff’s agencies are overwhelmed and have difficulty responding to major crimes and injury accidents let alone what might be considered to be only a minor theft. A shoplifting complaint might not be handled at all. That’s why the California Safety Agency is here to help.

A shoplifting incident might not be isolated. It could be just the start of bigger problems if criminals see that they are getting away with their activities and begin to target your business, store or mall. When that happens, the safety of your customers is also at risk. That’s where the “observe and report” theory falls short. It does nothing to protect your customers.

The security patrol supplied by the California Safety Agency are certified and trained to handle confrontations and emergency situations. They carry state of the art radio equipment so they can contact dispatch services immediately in the event of an incident. They also turn in daily reports so that you can identify problem areas and find solutions.

These are some of the things a CSA security patrol can do for your business, store or mall.

1. Deter crimes – shoplifting isn’t the only crime committed at retails stores and outlets. Gangs gather in parking lots, buildings are defaced, and parking violations also occur. Armed security patrols can address all of these situations.
