Be visible and approachable
Provide a security presence appropriate to the customer environment.
Support the people behind the counter
Retail security
A visible security presence that understands the store, the customers and the team working there.
An officer who understands the store.
Retail security needs a professional approach to people as well as observation. We define the assignment around the premises, trading hours, staff concerns and the retailer’s own incident procedures.
Support the store team
Understand the reporting and escalation arrangements when an issue develops.
Record the incident
Keep the facts and the actions taken available to the responsible team.
The specialist detail
Fit the security service to the store.
Customer-facing conduct
The assignment needs a calm, professional approach to the public. Agree the store’s reporting and intervention procedures, management contacts and the boundaries of the officer’s role.
Trading patterns
Delivery times, opening and closing, busy periods and staff changes all affect deployment. Position the officer where the agreed duties can be carried out effectively.
Evidence and escalation
Define how an incident is recorded, who reviews available CCTV and which manager owns the next action. Keep factual reporting separate from assumptions about a person’s intent.
Define these in the proposal
- Store-specific duties and hours
- Management and escalation contacts
- Opening and closing interfaces
- Incident and shift records
