Shopping Center Security / Mall Security & Retail Security Consulting Services

In a post 9/11 environment, professional security expertise is required more than ever in the design of Retail Security, Mall Security and Shopping Center Security programs. Shopping centers have always been exposed to liability when it can be shown the security program was inadequate. The role of security often becomes blurred as perceived by tenants and as perceived by management. There are confusions between common areas and leased retail space. Shopping centers often miss the opportunity to optimize their security program because they fail to achieve the optimal balance between security personnel and the application of security technology. Security personnel are the most costly remedies, but not necessarily the most effective remedy. A significant number of security lawsuits are caused by both the actions and inactions of security guards. Retail Security, Mall Security. and Shopping Center Security programs must provide adequate training for security guards.

SMSI will help define and develop a framework from which to build and maintain a cost-effective security program. We have over 125 years of combined expertise to bring to the problem solving process. SMSI Inc., will enable more bang for the security-$buck in a number of ways. We will establish a foundational basis by performing a complete security analysis. We will develop low cost Security Awareness Programs (SAPs). We will represent the interests of our client in their dealings with the full range of security vendors. We will continue to monitor and make corrective adjustments to your Mall Security / Retail Security / or Shopping Center Security program by monitoring and analyzing your Online Incident Reports.

If your shopping center should experience a serious attack or other compromise, you will be ultimately judged by the community, tenants, perspective tenants, customers, the media and ultimately, the courts. They will all ask, "Did you prudently and practically do everything you could and should have done, given your history, location and industry standards?"

SMSI Inc. is a member of ICSC. For members of ICSC, BOMA, and IREM who retain SMSI to do a security evaluation of their property, SMSI will guarantee that a written report will be submitted within the 15 days of the first site visit. SMSI will also provide flat rate pricing (not hourly) for these consultations. These consulting fees will fall within one of three levels, one two, or three. That pricing will be predicated on determination of a few parameters, not limited to, but including, total square footage, number of FTEs, number of tenants, hours of operation, total parking capacity, and number of tenants with liquor licenses.
