Retail security has to protect the store without chilling the sale. Our officers work to that balance — visible enough to move theft down the street, approachable enough that customers ask them for directions. Loss prevention that costs you customers is not prevention.

Why Sites Choose National Protective Service
Our clients renew at 99% because the fundamentals never slip: officers show up trained, posts are supervised, and every shift is documented. Retail Security Services is not a line item to us — it is the work our reputation stands on.
Loss Prevention Inside the Legal Lines
Effective LP is disciplined: observe, document, deter — and know exactly what the law permits. Our officers work strictly within shopkeeper’s privilege, coordinate with store management on every response, and document patterns that help you address organized activity across locations. The result is lower shrink without lawsuits, scenes, or lost customers.
Also Available: retail store security guards
Many clients pair this coverage with retail store security guards — ask about combining both under one contract and one point of contact. Our team will tell you honestly which mix fits your site and budget.
Honest Pricing, Scoped to Your Site
We price retail security services against your actual risk, not a rate card built for someone else’s property. A short assessment sets the scope; the quote that follows is firm and itemized. Ask about multi-site and long-term pricing — both bring the blended rate down without thinning the coverage.
Credentials You Can Verify
We put our licensing where anyone can check it: every post is staffed by California BSIS-licensed officers (PPO 120545), and our team follows professional standards aligned with ASIS International, the leading association for security management professionals; you can verify our California PPO license 120545 directly on the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) registry. That verification-first culture extends to shoplifting prevention services across every engagement.
