OUR RETAIL SECURITY SERVICES

Security services, each answering a specific problem that shopping centres run into during trading hours.

PSiRA registered officers on visible and discreet posts, because large crowds and valuable merchandise need presence rather than cameras alone.

Armed reaction to alarm activations and panic signals, with response times tracked through the National Intelligence Hub for the whole centre.

Biometric readers and boom gates with turnstile systems, holding controlled entry across a centre that has to stay open to thousands of shoppers.

Surveillance from the Quatro control room with analytics that flag unusual movement, and footage stored for post-incident review and insurance.

Handler-and-dog teams for detection work and perimeter patrols, deployed on centres where conventional patrols alone are not enough after hours.

Retail Security Services FAQs

What is retail security?

Retail security is the protection of shopping centres and retail parks during and outside trading hours. It covers manned guarding, CCTV monitoring, access control and crowd management, with loss prevention running across the trading floor rather than being confined to a single store.

Quatro supports shopping centres, regional and super-regional malls, retail parks, supermarkets, anchor tenant stores, fashion chains, food and beverage outlets and stand-alone retail locations. Each retail type has teams trained on its own operating rhythm and its footfall patterns.

Security teams handle crowd density and loss prevention across the trading floor while parking teams run traffic marshals, guided entry support and queue management. The two coordinate so that shopper flow into the centre and movement inside it are managed as one problem rather than two.

The National Intelligence Hub is Quatro Security Services’ command centre, continuously manned by trained analysts and system operators running 24/7/365 command and control. It unifies video, alarm, patrol, panic and fleet data into one platform, with GPS-verified digital patrols and client dashboards.

Yes. Quatro parking teams coordinate with on-site security to track unusual activity, manage emergency access routes and support shopper safety across covered parking and surface lots. Monitored parking with controlled entry and patrols, backed by incident reporting, reduces theft and unauthorised access.

Contact Quatro on 0861 44 00 00 or through the contact page. A representative arranges a site visit and risk assessment to build a proposal specific to the centre. Job seekers should apply through the careers page rather than the enquiry form.
