Armed & Unarmed Retail Security for Safer Stores

Retail centers see hundreds of visitors every day, making consistent safety oversight vital.

Smart Retail Protection for High-Traffic Areas

The mix of employees, shoppers, and deliveries can create an environment that attracts theft or disorder if not carefully managed.

Our armed & unarmed retail security programs are built to match each store’s risk level and customer flow. Armed officers are deployed in higher-value or high-traffic areas, while unarmed personnel handle public interaction and safety checks.

During peak shopping seasons or special promotions, trained guards also provide crowd control for retail events, helping prevent congestion, maintain order, and support a positive shopping experience.

Mall Security Guard Services & Retail Store Loss Prevention

Shopping malls require structured coverage to protect both individual tenants and shared spaces. Our mall security guard services include patrol officers trained in incident response, access monitoring, and emergency communication.

They assist management by responding to store alarms and directing visitors when needed. Inside retail stores, retail store loss prevention is a major focus.

We work with store managers to identify theft patterns, monitor surveillance feeds, and verify merchandise handling.

Smarter Staff, Safer Property

Guards also support staff training on recognizing suspicious behavior and reporting incidents discreetly. Together, these efforts promote safety and reduce financial loss across the property.

Shopping Center Parking Lot Patrol

Parking areas are often the first and last points of contact for shoppers, and common sites for theft, accidents, or unauthorized activity.
  • A visible shopping center parking lot patrol helps deter these issues while ensuring that customers and employees feel safe.
  • Officers monitor lighting, escort staff during closing hours, and respond quickly to vehicle break-ins or medical emergencies.
  • By maintaining consistent patrol routes and detailed incident reporting, our team helps property owners protect assets and preserve a welcoming atmosphere.
  • Reliable parking security improves safety metrics and supports stronger tenant satisfaction and customer confidence.

Our Site Security Services

We provide armed guards, event security, executive protection, surveillance, residential security, and other services to clients in many parts of the United States.

Armed Security Guards

Our armed security guards are highly trained personnel who operate in a position of great responsibility.

Many are current or former military/law enforcement officials, and they have all received the requisite training and licensing to carry a handgun in the course of their security responsibilities.

Keeping people and property safe is our top priority.

Our armed security guards are all qualified and authorized to possess firearms, which they may use if the individual or venue to which they are allocated is in a vulnerable position.

Weapons can include batons or weapons. An Armed Security Guard will only use their firearm in situations of serious assault and after all other non-violent measures have been explored.

Armed protection should not be taken lightly and should only be considered in areas where there is a significant risk of violent crime.

Executive Protection Services

Executive Protection, often known as “close protection,” is a comprehensive security service for individuals who face a high degree of personal danger owing to their status, fame, fortune, employment, or reputation.

Executive Protection Services often incorporate covert protection and protective monitoring to reduce intrusiveness, and dissuade occurrences from as far away from the client as feasible.

At Providers International, we provide these services after a comprehensive assessment of all risks, threats, and vulnerabilities and we create circumstances for optimal personal protection and safety wherever our clients’ activities may take them.

Our special event security guards are qualified to operate at sports events, concerts, conferences, parties and other major gatherings.

Providers International has the resources, skills and experience to manage all forms of Special Event Security, from big music events to massive festivals.

Depending on the nature of the event, our team starts preparing months before the event date to design a Security Management Plan that is ready to deploy during the event.

We are properly prepared long before spectators, authorities, crowds, press and others arrive at the event venue.

Our services include complete communications, monitoring, and reporting, as well as ensuring that critical operating areas are operationally sound.
