Frequently Asked Questions
Do retail security guards in Sydney need a licence?
Yes. Every retail security guard we deploy holds a current NSW Security Licence issued under the Security Industry Act, with the class relevant to their role. We verify each officer's licence before they start on your store, so you are always covered by properly licensed staff.
Can a retail guard detain a shoplifter?
Our guards work within the law and your store policy. They focus on deterrence, observation and supporting your team, and they only act on suspected theft in line with citizen's arrest provisions and approved procedures. We brief every officer on your escalation process to keep staff and customers safe.
How many retail security guards do I need?
It depends on your store size, layout, foot traffic and theft history. A single high-street store may need one guard during peak hours, while a large outlet or shopping centre may need several across entrances and the floor. We confirm the right number during a free site assessment.
Can you cover high-risk trading hours only?
Yes. Many retailers book guards only for their highest-risk windows, such as late-night trade, weekends, sale events or close. We can also provide full-day cover or a flexible roster that scales with your trading pattern and budget.
