Our goal is to not only reduce loss but also protect you and your staff from suspected criminals.

In-Store Uniformed Deterrence

Our in-store uniformed deterrence guards provide a visible security presence to deter theft and other criminal activities.

The Importance of Effective Retail Security

Effective retail security is crucial for protecting your business and providing customers with a safe and welcoming environment. Maintaining a secure retail environment lets you protect your merchandise to ensure business continuity and profitability. Here’s how working with retail security companies can support your business.

Professional security helps safeguard customer satisfaction. Your customers will enjoy a safe and pleasant shopping environment. The welcoming atmosphere and lack of potential disturbances mean your customers will keep returning.

Of course, retail security protects your inventory. Theft and losses can quickly cut into your margins. Professional security services let you avoid those losses, remain profitable, and offer your goods at competitive prices.

Security services also protect your employees, helping them feel safer at work. Instead of feeling pressured to tackle risky situations alone, they can leave security to seasoned professionals who know what they’re doing and how to de-escalate properly.

Testimonials

Our building fire panel went down suddenly, and the repair took several weeks to complete. We hired Optimum because of their experience with vulnerable folks in the DTES. Every firewatch guard I met was calm, friendly and with a professional, courteous demeanour, which is exactly what we asked for, and what was best for this building. Every person in the office I dealt with was helpful, reasonable and professional. This should not be that unusual to find in companies, but it is. Really happy we decided on Optimum for this project.
