As a highly trusted UK-wide security provider, Churchill Support Services has been delivering comprehensive security packages to retailers since 1996.

With unbeatable cross-sector knowledge and expertise, our highly-trained security staff can deal with a wide range of security incidents and threats, ensuring that your staff, premises and assets are properly protected.
For a motivated, dedicated and customer-focused security company that can deliver a rapid and effective response to security breaches, choose Churchill Support Services.
Churchill Support Services has a team of dedicated retail security guards with years of experience working in the industry alongside supermarkets and big-name retailers.
Our retail security staff will act as your eyes and ears on your shop floor, giving your front of house a visual deterrent and your customers the view that your store is well protected.
If shoplifting or any other suspicious activity does occur, you can rest assured that the situation will be dealt with quickly and efficiently, ensuring minimum disruption to your customers and your retail business
We are also able to offer dual role responsibilities such as fire safety and first aid, emergency planning and evacuation procedure, keeping your environment safe and your stock secure.
If you’re looking for retail security that goes further than the shop floor, look no further than Churchill Support Services who will go above and beyond to protect every inch of your premises.
For larger facilities such as shopping centres and retail parks, you may need security that goes beyond a fixed location. That’s where our experienced mobile guards come in, delivering extensive coverage to ensure total security across your entire site.
With the ability to move around and monitor various locations and perform foot patrols, open-air security and operate our marked patrol vehicles, our mobile guards provide an effective deterrent, as well as a quick and effective response to any security breaches.
Churchill Support Services can deliver a full CCTV package for your retail premises, from bespoke installation to round-the-clock monitoring services, all carried out by fully trained, qualified and professional personnel.
CCTV provides a fuss-free, high impact security tool which can give you a level of 24/7 protection. As well as acting as an effective visual deterrent, it can also be used as a first-response platform, providing evidence against criminals if necessary. Depending on your level of service, officers monitoring your store will immediately deploy security personnel or alert police.
Working together with you to create the exact solution you need, we will make a full assessment of premises before recommending the best installation strategy for optimal coverage and ultimate peace of mind.
At Churchill Support Services, we understand that you simply don’t have the time to monitor every single customer who walks through the door. Our professional, discrete store detectives can take on that responsibility, seamlessly integrating themselves onto your store floor to be the much-needed eyes and ears of your business.
Should an incident occur, our personnel are trained to deal conflict so will manage any situation in a professional, subtle manner without drawing any unnecessary attention to your store. Churchill Support Services detectives can liaise with the police and are even trained to take statements, carry out interviews and investigate suspicious activity.
To take your security to the next level, choose our retail store detectives to watch over your stock and staff, delivering the ultimate protection.

Retail businesses frequently turn to retail security guards to provide responsive and dedicated protection. No business wants to become a victim of crime; it damages your businesses finances and reputation, as well as putting employees at risk. Deploying a strong security presence on your retail premises can act as a powerful visual deterrent against crimes such as theft, vandalism, or sabotage.
Whilst retail security guards do not have the same powers as police officers, they are authorised to perform a ‘citizen’s arrest’ if safe and reason to do so, such as witnessing a crime, protecting others or preventing damage whilst the police arrive.
All retail security guards must hold an SIA licence to carry out ‘licensable’ activities. We also offer a range of online training courses to all our employees, covering first-aid and health and safety, and so can deploy officers with specific training if required.
If you’re considering a career as a retail security officer, you’ll need to complete the necessary training to obtain an SIA licence. If you have a licence and are looking for employment, check out Churchill Support Services job vacancies.
Retail CCTV systems can usually be installed within a couple of hours, on the same day. This ensures you can benefit from quality CCTV, without disruption to your business. We can also offer a thorough assessment of your property to create the best installation strategy for you.

At Churchill Support Services, we try to be as flexible and responsive as possible. Whilst it’s best to plan your retail security needs well in advance, we’ll always try our best to provide the security you need within a short time frame.
