RETAIL & LOSS PREVENTION
Protecting people, stock and retail operations.
From individual locations to national retail estates, MPS designs, integrates, monitors and maintains security systems that help retailers reduce loss, investigate incidents and protect customers, employees and assets — without losing sight of the demands of a live retail environment.
RETAIL SECURITY
Security that works around the operation.
Retail environments combine customers, employees, valuable stock, deliveries, vehicles and extended trading hours. Security needs to support loss prevention, provide useful evidence, protect restricted areas and remain practical within a busy operational environment.
MPS brings multiple security technologies together to help retailers manage risk through a coordinated system rather than a collection of standalone products.
CCTV & video intelligence
Fixed and PTZ CCTV, intelligent video analytics, smart search and evidential retrieval designed around sales floors, entrances, stock areas, yards and other operational spaces.
Access control
Control and audit access to staff areas, stockrooms, offices, plant rooms and other restricted locations while supporting authorised personnel.
Intruder detection & monitoring
Professionally designed intruder alarm systems with appropriate alarm signalling and 24/7 monitoring through the MPS NSI Gold Alarm Receiving Centre.
ANPR & vehicle intelligence
Where appropriate, ANPR supports monitoring of car parks, service yards, loading areas and vehicle movements as part of the wider security system.
LOSS PREVENTION
From incident detection to useful intelligence.
Retail loss can arise from external theft, internal incidents, burglary, unauthorised access, criminal damage and activity around car parks, loading areas and back-of-house environments.
MPS systems help security and loss-prevention teams locate relevant footage quickly, investigate recurring incidents and provide evidential material when required.
Integrated rather than isolated
CCTV, intruder alarms, access control, monitoring and video intelligence work together as part of a wider security strategy, providing a clearer operational picture.
New technology also integrates with suitable existing infrastructure, helping retailers develop their systems without unnecessary wholesale replacement.
PROVEN IN COMPLEX RETAIL ENVIRONMENTS
Supporting security across a national retail estate.
MPS provides integrated security technology and ongoing support across 28 Costco locations, including the design and delivery of CCTV and intruder alarm systems, with appropriate systems professionally monitored through the MPS NSI Gold Alarm Receiving Centre.
Our relationship also extends to the continued development of existing locations. MPS's work at Costco Thurrock includes the integration of CCTV and access control associated with the site's expansion.
Delivering within a live retail environment requires careful coordination around customers, employees, contractors, deliveries and existing infrastructure, allowing security improvements to be introduced while minimising disruption to normal trading and day-to-day site operations.

More than an installation
The MPS approach supports the full security lifecycle: system design, installation, integration, professional monitoring, maintenance, upgrades and continued development of operational sites.
The same approach supports retailers of different sizes — from individual premises to multi-site estates.
