Retail Security.


In 1997 PMH Security Ltd was instrumental in the setting up of RACY - Retailers Against Crime in York - a scheme that proved very effective in deterring criminal acts, while remaining cost effective.

All Retail security officers are trained to the highest standard in customer service and shop floor etiquette. Training is provided in P.A.C.E (Police and Criminal Evidence Act) and criminal law, including health and safety, fire safety, first aid and conflict management.

PHM Security Ltd offers a complete retail protection package comprising of:

1. Uniformed officers highly trained in retail security and highly visible. Our uniformed officers provide full security cover wherever it's needed. Not just in identifying and observing known or potential shoplifters and vandals but also for cash escorts, staff searches and warehouse delivery checks. All PMH Security personnel are fully conversant with the legally correct procedures for collecting evidence and making arrests.

2. Store detectives working in undercover. Our store detectives work invisibly alongside your own security teams, assisting in the crime detection and deterrence process. Like our uniformed officers they are also trained in all the legal aspects of making arrests and collecting evidence. If suspected wrongdoers are detained, our detectives help make sure that apprehension is conducted within the law, so that the suspect can be swiftly dealt with through the criminal justice system.

We understand that there are certain times of the year when you might benefit from our expertise. These might be;

Holiday/relief cover.
Seasonal trends.
Specific threat.

We are happy to provide PMH Retail Security in a temporary capacity. This is an excellent way to test us too!
