Loss Prevention Security in Sacramento, CA
PPO #122730Retail shrink in the Sacramento region is driven less by sophisticated theft rings than by unchallenged opportunity — an unmonitored exit, a dark corner of the lot, a loitering group nobody addresses. Our loss prevention security officers work the floor and the lot in full uniform, deter the walk-out before it starts, and hand your management team documentation that actually supports a police report.

Frequently asked questions
What does a loss prevention security officer do?
A loss prevention officer reduces shrink through visible deterrence, monitoring of entrances and high-theft aisles, lot patrol, and accurate documentation of incidents. Ours are uniformed rather than plainclothes agents — presence prevents more loss than apprehension recovers.
Do your officers detain shoplifters?
Our standard posture is observe, document, and deter, escalating to law enforcement rather than making physical detentions. That keeps your store out of the false-arrest and use-of-force exposure that plainclothes apprehension programs create.
How fast can you staff a retail location in Sacramento?
Sacramento metro retail posts can commonly be staffed same-day, including emergency fill-in when another company no-shows. Dispatch is answered live 24/7 by a supervisor.
How much does retail loss prevention security cost?
Most Sacramento retail contracts run $28–$45 per officer hour depending on hours, post count, and whether you need lot patrol layered on top of a floor post. Quotes are flat hourly with no holiday or dispatch surcharges.

After a break-in in Sacramento
What happens in the first 15, 30 & 60 minutes
This is the typical response workflow after you reach live dispatch — not a promise of police or officer arrival at a fixed time. We never replace 911, fire, or medical responders.
First 15 minutes
1. Make the scene safe
Call 911 for a crime in progress or anyone in danger. Do not enter a damaged building or touch evidence. Once you reach our live dispatch team, we confirm the address, what happened, whether anyone is onsite, and the safest next step.
By 30 minutes
2. Build the response plan
A supervisor reviews the breach, police report status, access points, and the vulnerable hours. We confirm the coverage window, coordinate board-up or property management contacts, and document the incident details for your records.
By 60 minutes
3. Start visible protection
When coverage is available and authorized, an officer begins the agreed response: holding the breach, checking the perimeter, deterring secondary theft, and creating the first patrol report. Arrival times vary with location, traffic, staffing, and police direction.
