Strip Mall vs. Regional Mall Security
Security needs grow with the size of the center, so we size coverage to match.
- Strip malls: one patrol guard or nightly mobile patrols
- Community centers: day and evening foot patrols
- Regional malls and outlets: several posts and a supervisor

Parking lots are where many shopping center incidents happen, from car break-ins to purse snatching. Our patrols keep them watched.
- Foot, bike or vehicle patrols during business hours
- Overnight patrols after closing
- Shopper escorts and vehicle break-in deterrence
Center Assessment
We walk your center with management, review incident history and tenant concerns, and set patrol routes and posts.
