Theft Prevention

Increased security risks during the holidays arise from larger crowds, higher volumes of cash transactions, and a rise in theft and criminal activity as people shop more and gather in public spaces.

Theft during the holiday season involves the unlawful taking of goods or belongings, often heightened by increased shopping activity, crowded stores, and distracted individuals.

As a security officer, some of your duties during the holiday season may include:

Monitoring for pickpocketing or shoplifting by observing crowded areas, watching for suspicious behavior, and staying alert to individuals who may be acting suspicious or avoiding attention.

During the holiday season, a security guard helps secure valuable goods and high-target areas by maintaining a observant presence, monitoring for suspicious behavior, and reinforcing security protocols to deter theft.
