Protect margins and elevate the shopper experience with retail loss prevention built for the realities of Los Angeles.
National Protective Service deploys BSIS-licensed LP officers across L.A. boutiques, specialty shops, supermarkets, malls, and big-box stores to reduce shrink, deter theft, and support in-store safety.
Choose plainclothes LP for covert observation and apprehension support, or uniformed deterrence for a visible presence at entries, POS, returns, and parking lots.
We coordinate with your AP/LP leadership, align to store policies, and provide incident-ready documentation. From organized retail crime (ORC) and grab-and-runs to return fraud and parking-lot safety, our programs scale for grand openings, high-risk corridors, and seasonal surges.
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.
All officers are BSIS-licensed and trained in customer service, de-escalation, ORC awareness, evidence handling, and incident reporting. Supervisors perform scheduled quality checks and refreshers.
Blend discreet LP associates with a uniformed front-of-house presence. We’ll tune the posture by store format, risk level, and neighborhood to maximize deterrence without hurting conversion.
Open to close, overnights, weekends, and holidays—single locations or multi-store programs. Parking-lot escorts and patrols reduce catalytic-converter theft, follow-outs, and vehicle break-ins.

GPS-verified patrols, time-stamped photo/video, and integration-ready reports for EAS/CCTV/incident systems. Optional camera trailers for lots and loading docks; remote video monitoring available.
