Specialized Security
At Vest Security Services, Loss Prevention is one of our core specialties—delivered through trained professionals who understand the unique challenges faced by retail stores, shopping malls, distribution centers, and commercial environments. In an era where retail theft, organized crime rings, and inventory shrinkage are rising dramatically across Canada, proactive loss prevention is more important than ever.
According to industry reports, retail theft has increased by over 30% in the last three years, with Canadian businesses losing billions annually due to shoplifting, internal theft, and fraud. Our dedicated Loss Prevention Officers (LPOs) are trained to operate both in uniform and undercover, working strategically to monitor customer behavior, detect suspicious activity, and apprehend offenders—all while minimizing disruption to your business. With Vest, you’re not just investing in security—you’re actively preserving your profits and creating a safer environment for staff and customers alike.
