Universal Security’s Retail Security Solutions

According to the most recent National Retail Security Survey, retail theft losses swelled to 112.1 billion in 2022, which was up from 93.9 billion the previous year. Overall, shoplifting incidents were 16 percent higher in the first half of 2023 than the first half of 2019. Last year, nearly 80 percent of retail brands in the United States said that organized retail crime was a risk that had become more of a priority in the past year for them.

A boutique retailer located on Michigan Avenue may have different retail security concerns than a corporation with stores located across the United States. With over 30 years of experience, Universal Security has worked with a wide-variety of retailers in a wide variety of locations, helping store owners and asset protection teams develop customized loss prevention programs. Customized plans can help pinpoint where losses occur and they can help retailers identify and deter suspected thieves. Universal can provide their expertise on store and product layout, security guard placement, loss prevention strategies, and much more.

Whether you own one retail location, or need security for a national chain, Universal Security can provide the level of security you need. Our guards can work as plain clothed or uniformed, armed or unarmed—we adapt to any need. Each of our retail security professionals undergoes formal training that is specific to a client’s retail environment. Our goal is to provide a safe shopping environment for customers and a safe working environment for employees.
