The Risks Taken from Not Having Retail Security
There are many ways that retail security can help towards the detection and prevention of criminals in order to stop them stealing from your shop. Here are a few methods that we would advise you to take when implementing security:
CCTV Installation
As it would be inefficient to have numerous security guards walking around the shop, CCTV installation is a friendly alternative solution. CCTV can guard all departments while being monitored by one member of staff at the front of the shop. This has a huge advantage due to being situated at the entrance of the shop. Criminals can also be highlighted and pursued for further questioning.

Manned Guarding
Having a Guard that is situated at the front of the shop will help prevent criminals from leaving. This will then allow security officials to question individuals about suspicious behaviour.
Your maintenance team
The maintenance team can help with the maintenance of the shop and its safety. They can seek out potential dangers to either customers or staff within or around the shop. The duty manager can also lock up and unlock the shop during specific times of the day.
Within the retail segment there are many ways that criminals can cause disturbances and theft. Here is a list of potential actions that offenders may carry out:
Shoplifting
All criminals will try to find different ways to steal goods from targeted shops.

Suspicious customers
Criminals will conduct a range of activities to get the good that they desire. They will first scope out the landscape for potential threats. They will then create substantial plans to be able to successfully shoplift without being detected. Being able to spot suspicious behaviour will help improve the chances of catching criminals.
Label cutting
Some criminals will bring tools to help them steal items easier and more efficiently by cutting the labels off items such as clothing.
Special equipment
There are a minority of criminals that will craft special bags to avoid being detected by the alarms at the entrance.
Fraud
Criminals will also try to steal items then fraudulently swap or exchange them. They will do this to make money or have an item free of charge.
