Retail security services

Retail security covers theft and shoplifting deterrence, loss prevention, organized retail crime response, customer and staff safety, after-hours coverage, and incident response for stores, malls, and shopping centers. Calvis offers uniformed and plainclothes officers for all of these.

Uniformed guards provide visible deterrence at entrances and high-traffic areas, while plainclothes loss-prevention officers blend in to catch theft in progress. Many retailers use both — we'll recommend the right mix for your store during setup.

Unarmed retail security guards typically range from $25–45 per hour depending on location, hours, and whether you need uniformed or plainclothes officers. Pricing is transparent and shown upfront, with preferred rates for ongoing contracts.
