In Ontario’s fast-paced retail marketplace, theft, fraud, and security issues have turned into critical concerns for companies. At Secure Shield Security, we bring a wealth of expertise in Retail Security Guards and Loss Prevention Services. Our team is dedicated to protecting your store, minimising shrinkage, and providing a secure shopping experience for your customers and employees.
No matter if you’re a boutique or a chain store, our expertly trained guards and specialists can meet the specific security requirements of the retail industry—discreetly, professionally, and effectively.
The Retail Security Service in Ontario
Ontario retailers lose millions each year to theft, both external and internal. Shoplifting, internal theft, organised retail crime, and fraud are ongoing threats. With increasing competition and shrinking profit margins, loss prevention can’t be ignored. A good retail security program protects not just your inventory but also customer confidence and employee safety.
Secure Shield Security has an intimate knowledge of the local terrain. With years of presence in Ontario’s retail industry, we customise our security services to address the unique requirements of malls, supermarkets, department stores, luxury boutiques, and freestanding retail facilities.
What We Provide: A Comprehensive Range of Retail Security & Loss Prevention Solutions. From Uniformed Security Guards to Undercover Loss Prevention Officers, CCTV Monitoring & Surveillance, Access Control & Asset Protection, Emergency Response & Incident Management, and Staff Training & Prevention of Internal Theft, we cover all your security needs 1. Uniformed Security Guards
Our professionally licensed guards are a visible deterrent to crime. Placed at entry and exit points, as well as at high-traffic areas, they offer customer support, observe suspicious behaviour, and react quickly to incidents.
- Undercover Loss Prevention Officers
Discreetly integrated into your store atmosphere, our undercover officers fit in as regular shoppers while keeping a watchful eye on suspicious activity. Their presence is particularly effective in high-theft retail areas or for stores that prefer not to present a high security presence.
- CCTV Monitoring & Surveillance
We provide remote and on-site monitoring services via your existing camera equipment or via our state-of-the-art surveillance equipment. Our experienced operators identify threats in real-time and alert security personnel to prevent loss before it occurs.
- Access Control & Asset Protection
From controlling secured areas to protecting high-value goods, our personnel ensure that only persons with proper authorisation gain entry to secure areas. We also aid in preventing stockroom theft and enhancing inventory management.
- Emergency Response & Incident Management
In the event of an emergency evacuation, shoplifting act, aggressive customer misconduct, or any other incident, our security personnel are trained in conflict de-escalation, first aid, and swift response measures. We also properly document incidents and facilitate coordination with the police where necessary.
- Staff Training & Prevention of Internal Theft
Our staff can provide your employees with training to recognise theft patterns, deal with suspicious incidents, and embrace preventive measures. A lot of shrinkage comes from internal theft, and our pre-emptive training prevents those risks effectively.
