Protect margins and enhance the shopper experience with retail loss prevention that blends service and security.
National Protective Service deploys BSIS-licensed officers across San Francisco stores, boutiques, malls, and big-box locations to deter theft, reduce shrink, and support in-store teams.
Choose plainclothes LP for covert observation and apprehension support, or uniformed retail security for visible deterrence, door presence, receipt checks, and parking-lot patrols. We coordinate with your AP/LP leadership, align to your stop/detain policies, and deliver photo-rich incident reports. Coverage scales for grand openings, high-shrink categories, ORC activity, and peak seasons.
Our officers are fully licensed by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), trained according to industry standards set by ASIS International, and work in close coordination with the Local Police Department to ensure rapid response and community safety. Whether you require threat deterrence, emergency response, or asset protection, our team delivers professional, discreet, and reliable security solutions tailored to your needs.
BSIS-certified personnel trained in customer service, observation, report writing, and retailer-approved stop procedures.
Blend covert LP associates with uniformed deterrence at entries, fitting rooms, and high-shrink zones.
Days, nights, weekends, and holidays—including parking-lot/garage patrols and alarm response.

Union Square, Market Street, SOMA, Mission Bay, Stonestown, Fisherman’s Wharf, Bayview, and more.
Use armed retail security when risk is elevated—high-value merchandise, prior robbery incidents, cash handling, pharmacy operations, or late-night hours. Our armed officers maintain a calm, approachable presence while providing visible deterrence and decisive response when necessary. Every officer carries current BSIS credentials, completes firearms proficiency and judgment training, and follows strict use-of-force policies aligned with your AP standards. We’ll help you decide where armed coverage adds value: door presence during targeted hours, armored cash escorts, pharmacy counter protection, or weekend surge. Post orders cover access control, robbery response, evidence preservation, and coordination with SFPD and your AP team—protecting staff and customers without disrupting the brand experience.
Quick duties: door/entry deterrence, high-value case watch, cash/pharmacy escort, alarm & robbery response, incident documentation.
Unarmed retail officers deliver strong deterrence with a service-first approach. Assign greeters at entries, uniformed patrols in sales floors and fitting rooms, and coverage for loading docks and back-of-house. Officers observe behavior patterns, support receipt checks per store policy, monitor CCTV/EAS alerts, and coordinate with LP associates for safe stops. Outside, parking-lot and garage patrols reduce smash-and-grab risk and improve customer safety after dark. Training emphasizes verbal de-escalation, conflict prevention, cultural sensitivity, and CPR/First Aid. We also scale staffing for promotions, launches, and holiday peaks. Expect clear, photo-rich reports that track recoveries, trespass notices, and safety incidents.
Quick duties: entry greeter/door watch, sales-floor & fitting-room patrols, CCTV/EAS monitoring, BOH/dock control, parking-lot patrols, incident reporting.
