While the shopping season can be overwhelming for retailers, focusing on the security and safety of people and merchandise within the premises is of utmost importance.

1. Limit the number of people inside the store :

Security personnel must be stationed at the storefront to protect customers and property. To keep the store's population at the proper level, guards can utilize click counters.

2. Plan displays from an anti-theft perspective :

Display valuable and small items only in areas that are closely monitored and easily seen by the checkout staff.

3. Consider floor walkers to prevent theft :

Assign multiple retail security guards and staff to monitor different areas of the store to avoid any kind of burglary and fraudulence. Hire floor walkers if possible.

4. Deploy security at entrance in advance of opening :

Because health measures and social distancing is a critical subject, the security guards can keep unruly people in check to maintain overall safety.

5. Make sure stores’ back room doors have chimes or alarms :

A chime / alarm at the backroom can notify staff of unauthorized entry which can put staff’s valuable assets at risk. Staff property, including purses and wallets, should also be in a locked area.

6. Look out for stockpiled, planned thefts :

Do not pile multiple items in one area as it makes easier to thieves to grab them together. Notify security guards to be on the lookout for a shoplifter.

7. Stay alert to label changes :

Educate your staff on the product labels, to keep track of each product in the store as fraudsters can take advantage of crowd and swap the labels for less expensive product.

For total security of the shopping complex,
get a perfect fusion of personnel and advanced security devices.
