Where Safety Meets Sales

At Altha Private Security Services, Inc., we know that stores, shops, and boutiques are more than just places to shop. They’re vibrant, fast-paced environments that require vigilance, presence, and professionalism to stay secure. With high foot traffic, valuable merchandise, and bustling activity, retail stores are prime targets for theft, shoplifting, and disruptive behavior. Our emergency security services in Bakersfield, California are trained to protect your assets while creating a safe and welcoming space for your customers and staff.

Specialized Services for Every Retail Type

We don’t just protect, we partner. Our officers work hand-in-hand with your store managers and floor staff, aligning with store protocols and reporting systems to ensure seamless integration and fast communication. We tailor our retail security solutions for:

  • Department stores
  • Luxury boutiques
  • Shopping malls and plazas
  • Grocery and convenience stores

Why Security Matters in Retail

  • Loss Prevention is Profit Protection

    Every item lost to theft chips away at your bottom line. Our officers help reduce shrinkage and prevent costly losses through active surveillance and rapid response.

  • Customer and Staff Safety

    A visible security presence helps deter criminal behavior, reduces the risk of conflict, and keeps employees and shoppers feeling safe and secure.

  • Brand Image Protection

    When customers see a well-secured and orderly store, it reinforces trust and enhances their shopping experience. Our guards blend professionalism with approachability.

Guard Your Retail Space the Right Way

However, our trained security team can keep a watchful eye on your products, assets, and employees to maintain a safe environment and shopping experience. You can guarantee that when you enlist the help of our security team, they can:

  • Visible Deterrence at Entry Points

  • Conflict De-escalation and Removal

    If disturbances arise, our guards step in quickly and professionally, like removing aggressive or unruly individuals with minimal disruption to your business.

  • Secure Product Exit Monitoring
