Retail Security
“Our Retail Officers are of prime importance because they represent your company in the public eye and provide a valuable deterrent to would be thieves in your store(s). They are quite often the first and last person that members of the public see on entering and leaving your store, so it is absolutely vital that every SSS Officer maintains a very high standard of appearance, which is expected throughout our company.”
Highly trained in retail security – and highly visible – our uniformed officers provide full security cover wherever it’s needed. Not just in identifying and observing known or potential shoplifters and vandals but also for cash escorts, staff searches and warehouse delivery checks.
Our personnel are fully trained in all types of radio interlink systems, security tagging devices and undercover surveillance.
