Invest in our specialist loss prevention officers to ensure a safe and successful retail store.
Our dedicated and highly trained security detectives have been providing retailers with unbeatable protection for over two decades. With coverage across the entire UK, we rank as the #1 ACS-Approved Contractor, deploying our exceptional security solutions across the country.
With these credentials, you can rest assured that your retail business will be protected from shoplifting and criminal damage by our able officers. We boast a customer retention rate of 95%, which is a testament to the quality and reliability of our service, giving your stock and staff the protection they deserve.
Many criminals of today have become smart, committing their offences in blind spots to avoid being caught by staff, or using another perpetrator to distract sales assistants. This is an ever-present threat for retailers, as a spate of well-planned thefts can seriously harm the revenue and overall prestige of a store.
Our retail store detectives are the ideal solution. Whether you’re seeking a plain clothes officer to blend in with the crowd and catch the sneakiest of thieves, or an officer in standard uniform to monitor surveillance and present a striking visual deterrent, we have the training and expertise to preserve your retail revenue.
All of our officers are fully licensed with the SIA and vetted for a minimum of 5 years, meaning they have the skills and character that makes them suitable for loss prevention. They will possess an SG-license at a minimum, and often also have Door Supervisor and CCTV Monitor licenses.
In every instance, we aim to provide an officer who has substantial experience in the retail industry, and will know the telltale signs that indicate an attempted offence. This instinct is something that is developed over years of service, and by supplying personnel with this impulse, we ensure your store is completely covered by our vigilant officers.
Our detectives are nothing if not adaptable, and will take immediate action upon discovering a crime on your premises. They will note down details of the offender and offence, report the situation to the emergency services, assist the police with apprehension, and even confront the lawbreaker to put a stop to their activity.
Additionally, our detectives can wear bodycams to acquire visual evidence of said offence, aiding any prosecutions and deterring further crimes, while incident reports can be logged to keep a meticulous record of offences that have occurred in the store.
Our solutions are tailored to your specific premises and security requirements, guaranteeing that you’ll receive a personalised, first-rate service each and every time.
Churchill Support Services are in the top 1% of ACS-Approved Contractors and are SafeContractor approved. Additionally, all our officers are highly trained and licensed by the SIA.

Whether you require static guarding, mobile patrols, CCTV, Keyholding or security for an event, Churchill Support Services offers the right security solution for you and your premises.
The presence of security guards provides an effective visual deterrent, turning away potential criminals and shielding your property from vandalism, theft, and other crime.
With our security guards able to adapt and fulfil multiple roles such as concierge duties and conducting risk assessments, you can keep costs down without compromising on vital services.
With the cost-of-living crisis still ongoing and showing no sign of slowing anytime soon, theft and shoplifting will continue to be a persistent problem. According to crime reports, there were 342,343 cases of shoplifting from 2022 to 2023, skyrocketing from the previous year’s 275,076.
This is a shocking 25% increase in offences in just one year, and with other crimes, such as criminal damage and violent behaviour also on the rise, it’s crucial to secure your retail premises before it’s too late.
Churchill Support Services are in the distinguished position of being the number one ACS-Approved Contractor in the UK. This is a testament to our high-standard of security solutions, with all our personnel being fully SIA-licensed and undergoing a 5-year vetting process to assess their character.

All contracts offered by Churchill are on a fixed-rate, annual basis. This requires that all our partners make monthly payments, maintaining a consistent price throughout the year.
This not only avoids unexpected price hikes due to inflation or additional charges but also makes it easier for businesses to plan in advance when budgeting and managing their finances.
Our retail detectives have in-depth training to instruct them in every aspect of retail security. They can handle a broad range of responsibilities, including keeping oversight of your aisles, monitoring suspicious individuals, gathering evidence of committed offences, recording any criminal incidents, and patrolling vulnerable areas of your store.
Whatever their task may be, our detectives act subtly but precisely, and always conduct themselves with the highest degree of professionalism.
Our officers are available day and night, even on holidays, to ensure the safety of your premises. Furthermore, our communications centre operates 24/7/365 to ensure comprehensive coverage.
This is all in an effort to make security as convenient as possible for you, as we recognize that every business will require different security services at different times. The shape of your schedule and coverage will therefore be entirely down to you.
One of Churchill’s signature aspects is our ability to provide entirely customizable security packages. Each contract is uniquely crafted for our partners, meaning we intentionally avoid a standardized pricing plan.
Our pricing is instead highly flexible, and determined by the unique mix of services you require from us. Such an approach gives you greater control and customization over your security solutions.
The ideal number of CCTV cameras is not standard, as achieving full coverage of your retail store depends on various factors, including the size of the store, the number of entry points, potential blind spots, and the layout of the aisles.
Upon reaching out to us, our professional team will guide you through the process, discussing the necessary number of CCTV cameras and their strategic placement to ensure total coverage of your shop floor.
