Why Vancouver Retailers Choose Blackbird for Loss Prevention

Every incident is documented and reported directly to your management team, so you always have a clear record for insurance or law enforcement purposes.

Built for Vancouver: our officers hold valid BC Security Worker Licences and are trained on BC's citizen's arrest and use-of-force regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does loss prevention work for Vancouver retail stores?

Our loss prevention officers work the floor, at the door, or discreetly undercover, watching for theft patterns and high-risk behaviour without disrupting the shopping experience. Coverage is built around your store's traffic and layout.

Do your loss prevention officers work undercover?

Yes, undercover coverage is available for Vancouver retailers dealing with organized theft or repeat offenders. We can also combine undercover and uniformed presence depending on what your store needs.

Can loss prevention guards make an arrest in BC?

Our guards are trained on citizen's arrest procedures under BC law and follow strict non-confrontational protocols to keep staff and customers safe. The priority is always de-escalation and documentation over physical intervention.
