Security Guards For Shopping Centers
Schedule Security Guards
Holiday traffic is surging and parking lots are packed. When you schedule security guards for shopping centers fast you lock in coverage before every vendor is booked.
Visible uniforms deter shoplifters, calm parking disputes, and keep families coming back. Plus, anchor stores often rebate part of the cost when they see crime stats drop, so acting quickly pays for itself.
What Mall Guards Actually Do On Property
They patrol corridors every 30 minutes, check back hallways for loiterers, and escort cashiers to night deposit boxes. (They also help locate lost kids, which turns angry parents into loyal shoppers.) Guards monitor CCTV feeds from a central desk and radio janitors if they spot spills before lawsuits happen. And when Black Friday lines wrap around the building, they manage crowd flow so doors open without trampling headlines.
How Fast Can Guards Be Scheduled?
Most firms can assign teams within 24 hours if you provide foot traffic counts and anchor store hours. A supervisor walks the property, maps camera blind spots, and sets patrol checkpoints synced to a GPS app. You will receive a roster with names, photos, and license numbers so management knows who is legit.
Even if the mall is short staffed due to flu season, we can fill shifts before the weekend rush.
Typical Cost Range For Shopping Center Coverage
Unarmed guards run $22 to $32 per hour, armed $40 to $55. A 12 hour storefront shift totals $264 to $660 depending on city size. Multi tenant bundles drop hourly rates by $3, and holiday surcharges only add 10 % if you book 30 days out. Ask for flat nightly fees if you want zero surprises on CAM charges.
Centers That See Immediate ROI
Strip malls report shoplifting drops of 35 % within 60 days. Indoor malls keep car break ins down 50 %, saving thousands in glass claims. Food courts see fewer fights, which keeps teens coming back to spend. Even small neighborhood centers find the guard cost pays for itself after stopping one organized retail crime crew that would have emptied 3 stores in a single night.
5 Tips To Schedule Guards Quickly

- Request guards with customer service training for tourist areas.
- Ask for daily activity logs emailed by 9 am.
- Bundle rover patrols with fixed posts to cover more ground.
- Lock in holiday dates early to avoid 20 % last minute surcharges.
