Still questioning if security is worth it? Take a look at a few of our answers to questions we have received from local Los Angeles retail stores.
What types of security services are available for my retail store?
At Galaxy Security, we offer a range of services tailored to your needs, including unarmed security officers, mobile patrols, and armed security personnel.
How do unarmed security officers help in preventing theft?
Unarmed security officers serve as a visible deterrent to potential thieves. Their presence can discourage criminal activity, and they are trained to monitor customer behavior, engage with shoppers, and respond to suspicious activities, thereby enhancing overall store safety.
What are the advantages of using mobile patrols for my retail store?
Mobile patrols provide randomized, visible security coverage that makes it difficult for criminals to predict when and where security will be present. This service includes regular checks of the store and surrounding areas, ensuring quick response to any incidents.
When should I consider hiring armed security officers?
Armed security officers are recommended for retail environments that may face higher risks, such as stores in high-crime areas or those dealing in high-value merchandise. Their presence can significantly enhance safety and deter serious threats.
Are your security officers trained and licensed?
Yes, all of our security officers undergo thorough background checks and extensive training to ensure they are well-prepared to handle various security situations. Our armed officers are also fully licensed in accordance with state regulations.
How do I determine the right security solution for my retail business?
During the initial consultation, we will discuss your security concerns, assess your retail space, and evaluate any past security issues you've faced. Based on this information, we will provide recommendations for the best security services to meet your needs.
Our Security Solutions
Most Used Solution
Role and Benefits
Unarmed security officers patrol the retail floor as a visible deterrent, assist customers with directions and support, and respond to disturbances or suspicious activity escalating to law enforcement when appropriate. Their steady presence creates a safer environment for shoppers and staff, reduces shrink through proactive loss prevention and quick incident handling, and elevates the overall customer experience, fostering higher satisfaction and loyalty.
Training
Our unarmed security officers undergo comprehensive retail-specific training in conflict de-escalation, sharp observation to identify and address suspicious behavior such as shoplifting (California Penal Code 459.5), customer service that balances hospitality with vigilance, and clear emergency response protocols for medical incidents, theft, and disturbances (e.g., California Penal Code 415). They also learn practical legal knowledge of California law and their limits of authority, including merchant detention (California Penal Code 490.5), private person’s arrest when appropriate (California Penal Code 837), trespass (California Penal Code 602), and vandalism (California Penal Code 594), so they protect people and property while preserving a positive shopping experience.
Budget-Friendly Solution
Mobile Patrols
Role and Benefits
Mobile patrols provide both scheduled and randomized checks across the interior and exterior of the retail property, verifying access points and conditions and responding quickly to alarms or incidents to contain damage or loss. Their rotating, unpredictable routes deliver comprehensive coverage that’s hard for bad actors to anticipate. Strongly enhancing deterrence while keeping the site secure.
Technology Integration
Our mobile patrols utilize advanced technology for real-time reporting and incident tracking, ensuring you are always informed about the security status of your office.
Best For High Risk Areas
Armed Security Officers
Role and Benefits
Armed security officers provide immediate response to serious threats; such as armed robbery or violent incidents. Prioritizing the safety of customers and staff while their visible presence deters high-risk crime, especially in stores with valuable merchandise. Trained to operate under pressure, they use disciplined tactics and sound judgment to resolve incidents safely, delivering a heightened level of protection and professional handling that reduces risk and reassures everyone on site.
Specialized Training
Our armed security officers complete the required BSIS certifications, including the Security Guard Registration (“guard card”), Exposed Firearm Permit, and, when required by posts, a Baton Permit, and train to operate safely and decisively in high-risk retail settings. We emphasize de-escalation first, safe firearm handling with regular qualification, clear radio communication, and tactical response for active threats, all grounded in practical legal knowledge: private person’s arrest (California Penal Code 837), merchant detention when acting as the store’s agent (California Penal Code 490.5), trespass (California Penal Code 602), robbery (California Penal Code 211), brandishing (California Penal Code 417), and negligent discharge (California Penal Code 246.3). This blend of certifications and code-based training enables officers to protect people and property while adhering to the law.
