Built for Luxury Retail
Luxury retail is the core of what MGP does. A high-end store needs security that protects merchandise and staff while keeping the client experience polished and welcoming. Officers are selected and trained for that setting: professional appearance, discretion and the judgment to tell the difference between a valued client and a real risk. See Luxury Retail Asset Protection.
Protect People
Life safety and de-escalation come first, and people come ahead of recovery.
Protect Property
A visible officer prevents more loss than any recovery gets back.
Protect the Experience
An officer at the entrance provides service and performs a security function at the same time.
Protect the Brand
Professional judgment keeps an incident from turning into a reputational problem.
The Four Square Model
Every MGP program is set up across four areas.
Recruitment and Selection
Officers are selected through a five-stage screening process covering work history, judgment, background, drug screening where permitted and suitability for the assignment.
Preparation and Post Orders
Post Orders are written for each site around its layout, hours and risk, and officers are trained on them before they take post.
Cost and Coverage Planning
Coverage is scoped to each site’s hours, risk and budget. Rates are set out in a written rate schedule, and invoices are based on hours recorded through GPS-confirmed clock-in.
Reporting and Oversight
Incidents are documented on scene, time-stamped and GPS-verified. Supervisors make unannounced site visits, and results are reviewed monthly and quarterly.
