Access Control Security Sees Demand For Security Guard Services Grow As Retail Theft Increases
ACS guards are often stationed at store entrances and near items often targeted by criminals.
ACS has seen demand for its retail security guard services grow over 30% as increases in retail theft have left many store owners looking for help.
“Criminal retail gangs are a huge part of the problem, but not the only reason retail theft is out of control,” says Reza Jalala, ACS director of security operations. “Laws for stealing are lax. In California, shoplifting goods worth under $950 is a misdemeanor so in almost all cases, law enforcement won’t bother to press charges. That gives shoplifters the green light. Retailers are realizing that they’re on their own when it comes to trying to stop theft. That’s why they are enlisting the help of private security guards.”
ACS guards are often stationed at store entrances and near items often targeted by criminals such as cosmetics, alcohol, fashion accessories, electronics and jewelry. “Criminals know these goods can be quickly sold on the black market and even online on legitimate retail sites,” says Jalala.
Jalala says security guards provide a deterrent to theft. “A crook may think twice before grabbing merchandise if a security guard is watching and ready to act and the store insists on pressing charges,” says Jalala. “Word gets out fast that certain stores are not worth the risk.”
ACS has offices in California, Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, Texas and Washington, D.C. Its guards are state-licensed, go through additional in-house training and can be armed or unarmed. Overnight security and 24-7 security camera monitoring are also available.
