Store Detectives
A Store Detective is a covert, plain-clothed Security Officer designed to identify those who intend to commit a crime: like shoplifting. Our SDs are highly trained and capable of recognising offenders before they offend, experienced at following and tracking offenders, observing any offences, through to apprehending those who have committed an arrestable offence. Their duties will also include Police liaison and writing Witness Statements, ensuring that our stores are fully protected, with an on-going deterrent against future offences.
Gatehouse Security
Advantage One’s gatehouse security services provide businesses with effective perimeter protection and controlled access. Trained officers manage entry and exit points, allowing only authorized personnel and vehicles on-site, which is vital for large facilities like industrial estates and corporate offices. They monitor deliveries, maintain visitor logs, and inspect vehicles, ensuring security. With a professional approach, gatehouse personnel help protect your business from external threats, keeping operations running smoothly.
Security Officers
Incidents of violence and abuse have nearly doubled since pre-pandemic times, with over 850 daily cases reported in 2021/22, according to the British Retail Consortium.
