Security Considerations in Cherry Hill
Cherry Hill retail is spread across a regional mall and a string of open-air centers on Routes 70 and 38, each with large parking fields and several entrances. Officers at enclosed mall tenants work alongside property security and need clear handoff procedures, while open-air centers depend on visible patrols of storefronts, parking lots and loading areas. Holiday shoppers from across South Jersey and Philadelphia raise foot traffic and parking demand from November through January.
Office and medical properties in Cherry Hill are mostly low-rise buildings with surface parking, so lobby posts are often paired with exterior patrols and after-hours lock-up checks. Many tenants have staff commuting from both sides of the Delaware River, including riders using the PATCO stations at Woodcrest and Ashland, so early arrival procedures belong in Post Orders. Winter storms can disrupt shift changes, which makes relief planning part of every schedule.

Common Questions
Can a tenant officer work inside Cherry Hill Mall alongside the mall’s own security team?
Tenant officers at an enclosed mall generally work inside the leased space and coordinate with property security on matters in common areas. McCray writes Post Orders that define where the officer’s duties begin and end and how incidents are reported to mall management. Specific requirements are set by each landlord’s tenant rules.
How is security guard coverage priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
