Our Loss Prevention Officers use proactive observation, professional engagement, incident reporting, and site-specific procedures to help reduce shrinkage across retail stores and shopping centres.
Plain-clothes LPOs can discreetly observe customer activity and identify potential theft risks while maintaining a low-profile presence. They can be deployed across department stores, supermarkets, fashion retailers, and other high-risk retail environments.
Uniformed LPOs provide a visible security presence at entrances, high-risk areas, and other key locations. They help deter theft, support retail staff, and respond professionally to security incidents and challenging customer interactions.
LPO interventions and incidents can be recorded through the Assist App, including relevant timestamps, written observations, photographs where appropriate, and supporting information. This creates a structured digital record for management review and follow-up.
Our LPOs receive training appropriate to their role and jurisdiction, including relevant legal requirements and procedures concerning suspected theft, detention, use of force, and escalation to police. Officers operate within the limits of applicable Australian law and their security licence conditions.
LPOs can work alongside centre management, security teams, retailers, and loss prevention personnel to identify recurring security concerns and improve communication across multiple retail locations.
Every LPO is appropriately licensed and trained for their assigned duties, with relevant security qualifications, first aid training, and role-specific instruction. Additional site and client requirements can be incorporated into each deployment to maintain professional and compliant service delivery.
