Retail Security Services
Security is a critical priority for every retail business—whether you operate a small boutique, a department store, or a large supermarket. From shoplifting and stock damage to anti‑social behaviour and organized retail crime, today’s retail environment faces a wide range of threats.
At 1st Nation Security Services, our highly trained retail security officers bring cross‑sector expertise and the ability to respond quickly and effectively to incidents. We ensure your staff, premises, and assets remain protected at all times.
We encourage all retail security guards to follow the ASCONE Method, a proven approach for identifying and preventing theft:

1st Nation Security Officer is responsible for:
Guarding premises against unauthorized access, occupation, disorder, or damage
Guarding property against destruction, damage, or theft
Guarding people against assault or other injuries sustained by the unlawful conduct of others.
Security Officers are now also considered to be a part of the wider police gamily, protecting people.
Security officers may ask people to leave a client’s property if they:
Have no right or reason to be there.
Break criminal law.
Breach site rules or conditions; or
If their behavior becomes unacceptable.
Our Security officers act as private members of the public and have no legal or statutory right to search any person, vehicle or building without permission.
It is most important, therefore, that security officers obtain permission from a person they wish to search (beforehand). Searching someone without necessary consent could result in:
Criminal proceedings for assault being taken against the security officer.
Civil action (compensation) being taken out against the security officer and / or the security company; and /or
A criminal case against a person committing a crime failing, because the search that found the evidence was illegal as consent was not obtained.
