Like the author of this important security book Security Adventure Service said, ‘not every security officer is made for retail security.’ The reason is that the author (Job Moses) has worked in retail security in Melbourne for a number of years  and he has discovered that retail security is one that requires the retail security guard to have the following qualities:

  • A smart retail security guard
  • Possess quality customer service skills
  • Must be fit to walk, remain static for a good number of hours
  • Must know how to administer first aid, not just be first aid certified
  • Must be willing to courteously confront an offender
  • Must understand conflict resolution & and conflict Intervention
  • Must be a retail security team player
  • Must understand the retail store, retail shopping centre site policies
  • Must understand fire and emergencies evacuation procedures
  • Must have a welcoming and commanding physical presence

The above are just a few qualities a retail security guard requires. To learn more about retail security officers, please find a free copy limited copy of this book Security Adventure Service.on Amazon.

Hire Retail Security Guards From Experienced Companies

How do you choose the right retail security company that will provide security guards for your retail store or shopping centre or retail warehouse? Almost every security guard company you contact will promise you they can send you retail security officers.

But be very careful, just because they have security guards that does not make them ‘retail security guards’ or a ‘retail security services provider.’ The author of the book Security Adventure Service says, “to easily understand any community, you only need to go to its shopping centre, and you will get a clear picture of what the wider community or suburb is, by the people that patronise the shopping centre.”

So, an example is a retail store that is situated in an ‘economically disadvantaged suburb;’ where the rate of shoplifting and violent crime are likely to be higher than a retail store which is in a ‘wealthy suburb.’ Now, a shopping centre or retail store that is in a troubled suburb will require retail security guards that are highly trained on conflict resolution and de-escalation. Retail security officers are calm and cool-headed in the face of provocation and threat.

More on shopping centre security Melbourne. Now, if the retail hire security company is not ‘specialised in retail security delivery,’ it will be difficult for them to understand what kind of retail security guards to deploy to the store or shopping centre and what kind of retail security guards training is required for their security officers.

Though any security guard company can send security guards to retail venues, but if the management does not have the necessary retail security experience, it is likely the security company may use your retail venue as a learning curve for their trade. It is not a bad idea for the security company to learn while on the trade but it is dangerous for the retail venue to find itself in such a position. Such experience could come at the expense of the retail store or retail shopping centre being sued by an aggrieved customer who isn’t happy with the way that the shopping centre security dealt with them.

Retail Security Services Melbourne: Some of our Services

Note, your shopping centre/retail store security needs are very important; so, don’t hand your money over to an amateur security company that may cost you more money in the long run. I understand most shopping centres and retail stores want to save money, but there is nothing worse than saving money by getting a cheap inexperienced retail security guard company to provide you with quack services and you end up being sued for millions of dollars because of their inexperience.
