As the country braces itself for the outcome of the Minnesota trial, local retailers in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other California cities are preparing for possible disturbances that could result in damage to their property. They don’t want a repeat of last year. Many business owners were unprepared when summer unrest resulted in millions of dollars in damages. Now, they are hiring retail security guards to protect their stores and businesses as part of their pre-emptive security measures.

On Duty Security Guards. Unfortunately, some individuals see large gatherings as an opportunity to commit crime, hoping to vandalize and steal from businesses with impunity. A strong retail security guard presence will make these criminals think twice before breaking windows and stealing merchandise.

Security guards are making their presence known by being stationed outside businesses to monitor who is entering and indoors to keep an eye on shoppers. Most damage occurs during evening hours after stores are closed. It’s at this time that extra security guards are being added for perimeter surveillance.
