Our Background

Professional Experience

Over our years in law enforcement, we have been commended for our work in retail crime and improving the wellbeing and safety of retailers and the public alike, helping to improve the local environment. We have planned, co-ordinated and staffed complex operations dealing with retail crime and Anti-Social Behaviour. Some of these operations have involved covert tactics, meaning confidentiality is a priority, and we have learned how to interpret crime trends, intelligence and criminal activity, dynamically risk assess that information and deploy resources to target areas.

We have helped retailers in areas we have worked to increase their profits, improve staff safety and lower shoplifting in some cases by as much as 80%. We have learned through experience the best documentation and evidence required to get the best chance of conviction or rehabilitation. We can help you cut through the criminal justice service bureaucracy and make the system work for you.

We have taken perpetrators of Anti-Social Behaviour through all the processes of the ASB legislation, to a point where some of the offenders we have worked with received Criminal Behaviour Orders. Our knowledge and skill spans decades of work and experience and we have learned how to navigate the process to get the best outcome for the community, retailers and individuals within the community.

Drawing on our years of experience in policing and operational management, coupled with our security industry knowledge, we have seen significant changes in many town centres over the years. In our view, changing priorities and policy decisions have reduced the visible presence of policing and other public services in some communities. Our business is built on helping to address the resulting challenges by providing professional, reliable and community focused services.
