Plain-clothes Associate

Vigilant plain-clothes associates work discretely and are trained to blend in with their surroundings. With emphasis on "hiding in plain sight", our associates, posing as shoppers, can effectively identify and stop bad actors. Our plain-clothes associates have made significant impacts in the market and paired with our Tier 2 uniformed guards, the team is unparallel in reducing theft and impacting shrink. 

Uniformed Services

Vigilant AP offers varying levels of uniformed services including Ambassadors, Door Greeters, and Tier 2 Guards. Vigilant uniformed services offer increased safety and security, while providing a visual deterrent for your business. Vigilant uniformed services are intentionally designed to be used either as a stand-alone deterrent, or to support the suppression efforts of our plain-clothes associates.

    Reduced Liability

    Reduced Liability

    Reducing liability and exposure, coupled with safeguarding assets, is the most common theme behind why Vigilant AP is contracted for loss prevention services. Many companies have their “hands tied” when it comes to proactively responding to the ever-changing impact of theft trends. Outsourcing services through Vigilant AP allows retailers to safeguard their employees and keep products on shelves instead of in the hands of would-be thieves.
