Trained Security Guard For Grocery Stores Protection
In years prior, security at grocery stores was less of a necessity. During the recent pandemic, grocery stores were often filled, with people queuing up outside, and parking lots swarming with cars. Many retail establishments found themselves at the center of public concern, as fear and panic shopping swept the nation in anticipation of supply shortages.
The private security guard services industry found itself in yet another moment where supporting our local communities was beneficial for us and all the people around us. American Global Security was able to capitalize on the situation by supporting several local retail establishments in the Los Angeles area to control the influx of customers, reduce shoplifting rates, patrol storefronts in the evening, and
AGS did all this while enforcing social distancing, wearing the proper PPE, and promoting more significant customer satisfaction and safety. Los Angeles retail outlets are accustomed to large crowds, especially on Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Black Friday holidays. Grocery stores and other retail establishments see an influx of customers, but the crowds were even more overwhelming during the pandemic.
American Global Security personnel assigned to these stores were trained in Crowd Control and ultimately proved highly effective at providing our security services because of that training. AGS unarmed security guards have intervened in altercations and prevented excess shrinkage during those trying and difficult times.
AGS Unarmed Security Can Prevent Shrink, Vandalism, and Violence
Theft has become more prevalent in recent years as people have become increasingly desperate and opportunistic. However, if you ask the top security guard company in Los Angeles for our outlook on the future, we will stay positive! The best part is that we aren’t just talking; we can prove it with our results through our cost-benefit analysis for our clients.
Outside of regular business hours, our most cautious and smartest clients elect to hire AGS vehicle patrols overnight, or even unarmed standing guards for their parking lots and early morning hours. Some locations offer early access to specific customers before operational hours, while taking in fresh inventory.
This low staffing presence, combined with a reduced focus on individuals, makes grocery stores the most vulnerable in the early morning hours. That’s why security services are so important to our clients at different times during the day.
American Global Security unarmed guards are invaluable in so many ways. AGS security personnel perform a variety of functions that alleviate the pressure on law enforcement and grocery store personnel, such as assisting with crowd control, restricting the number of patrons in a store, providing foot and vehicle patrol, mediating interpersonal issues, and serving as a physical deterrent to the criminal element.
