Contact Us TodayRetail Loss Prevention in BC — Common Questions
Do you provide plain-clothes or uniformed loss prevention?
Both, and they do different jobs. A uniformed officer deters opportunistic theft and reassures staff and customers. A plain-clothes officer detects and documents organized and repeat theft that a uniform simply displaces to another aisle. Many of our retail clients run one of each.
Can your officers detain shoplifters?
Our officers work within the limits of citizen's arrest under the Criminal Code and are trained to prioritise documentation, identification and police hand-off over physical intervention. Aggressive pursuit creates far more liability for a retailer than the merchandise is worth, and we train deliberately against it.
How do you document incidents for prosecution or insurance?
Officers produce written incident reports with times, descriptions, actions taken, witness details and supporting photo or video references, written to a standard that holds up for police, Crown counsel and corporate risk teams. Poor documentation is the usual reason retail theft files go nowhere.
Can you help reduce internal shrink?
Yes. A significant share of retail shrink is internal rather than customer theft. We provide after-hours and closing coverage, back-of-house and loading-dock monitoring, and procedural observation that identifies where product is actually leaving the building — which is often not where owners assume.
How much does a loss prevention officer cost?
Pricing depends on hours of coverage, whether the post is uniformed or plain-clothes, and officer count. Most retailers start with targeted coverage during peak theft hours rather than open-to-close staffing, which keeps cost proportionate to the shrink actually being recovered.
