RETAIL SECURITYIN BARNSTAPLE
Looking for reliable retail security in Barnstaple? Xtreme Protection provides professional, SIA-licensed retail security services across Barnstaple and the surrounding Devon area, including Roundswell, Pilton, Sticklepath and Fremington. Retail crime in the UK is at record levels, and shrinkage directly erodes your margin. Xtreme Protection provides retail security officers and store detectives who are as good with customers as they are with criminals — protecting stock, staff and shoppers without damaging the shopping experience.
Local knowledge matters in security. Our Barnstaple teams understand the specific risks facing Devon premises — from opportunist theft and antisocial behaviour to organised targeting of high-value sites. Our uniformed loss prevention officers provide a visible deterrent at entrances and high-risk departments, while plain-clothes store detectives identify and detain professional shoplifters using the five-step ASCONE approach that stands up in court.
We work with high-street retailers, supermarkets, retail parks, shopping centres and luxury boutiques — backed by incident reporting, body-worn video and intelligence sharing with local business crime reduction partnerships and police.
