California retail has learned the hard way: the win is the theft that never starts. A visible, engaged officer at the door changes the calculus for boosters and ORC crews scouting targets — and our post orders are built around lawful observe-document-deter protocols, not parking-lot heroics that create liability. Where apprehension policies exist, officers follow your LP policy, in writing.
What retail posts include
- Entrance presence during peak and high-risk hours
- Floor positioning on high-shrink zones and fitting-room patterns
- ORC pattern recognition — team entries, staging, runner behavior
- Incident documentation formatted for police reports and civil recovery
- Parking lot and cart-area coverage — where customers actually feel unsafe
- Holiday-season surge staffing, booked in advance
Stores, centers and the season

Frequently asked questions
Do your officers detain shoplifters?
Only per your written LP policy and California law — most retailers now run observe-document-deter, and our officers are trained to make that effective rather than confrontational.
Armed or unarmed for retail?
Unarmed for most retail; armed for high-value categories (jewelry, electronics) after a risk assessment.
Can we get coverage just for the holidays?
Yes — seasonal posts are standard, no long-term contract. Book before November; the officer pool tightens fast.
Do you coordinate with our LP team and police?
Yes — officers report into your LP lead, and documentation is formatted for PD case numbers and civil demand.
