Tailored for Retail
How we adapt each capability.
Six core capabilities, tuned to single stores, malls, and shopping centers.
Loss Prevention
Trained deterrence and discreet observation that cuts shrink before it walks out the door.
Access & Entrance Control
A professional presence at the doors that sets the tone and stops problems early.
Patrol Services
Sales-floor, stockroom, and parking-lot rounds that protect product, staff, and customers.
Emergency Response
Fast, level-headed handling of theft, altercations, and medical incidents.
Staff Safety Escorts
Opening, closing, and cash-handling escorts so your team is never alone at the vulnerable moments.
Incident Reporting
Documentation that holds up for police reports and insurance claims.
Equitab vs. the Giants
What the national firms can't match.
| What keeps you up at night | Equitab | National firms |
|---|---|---|
| A guard not showing up | Reliable coverage — posts filled, gaps caught before you do | No-shows you find out about after the fact |
| A different stranger every week | A dedicated team — the same faces your people know | Whoever the schedule sent that day |
| Not being able to reach anyone | A named account lead who answers — not a queue | A call center and a ticket number |
| Waiting weeks to get covered | Officers on-site in 24–48 hours | Weeks of onboarding before anyone shows |
| Under-trained, here-today-gone guards | Vetted, trained, fairly paid officers who stay | Lowest-bidder staffing and constant turnover |
