Retail Security & Loss Prevention

Uniformed store guards, plain-clothes store detectives and loss-prevention specialists protecting retailers across Ireland — reducing shrinkage while keeping your shop floor safe and welcoming.

Overview

Protecting your stock, your staff and your bottom line

Retail crime costs Irish retailers millions every year. RFC retail security combines visible deterrence with discreet loss prevention to cut shrinkage, deter theft and anti-social behaviour, and keep your staff and customers safe — without making your store feel unwelcoming.

We supply both uniformed guards, who provide an obvious deterrent at entrances and on the shop floor, and plain-clothes store detectives, who identify and respond to shoplifting discreetly. Our officers are PSA-licensed, trained in evidence-gathering and lawful detention, and experienced in working with retail teams and An Garda Síochána.

From a single store to a national retail estate, we build a security programme around your risk profile, footfall and layout — and give you consolidated reporting so you can see exactly where losses occur and how they're being addressed. RFC is trusted by leading retailers including JD Sports, Smyths and Elverys.
