What CATTO Brings to Your Retail or Pharmacy Site
01
Officers Selected for Your Environment
Observant, approachable officers with the communication skills and judgement needed to support staff and manage challenging situations.
02
Proactive Loss Prevention
Purposeful positioning, attention to higher-risk areas and early communication with staff help address concerns before they develop.
03
Close Operational Support
Site-specific briefings, clear reporting and an involved management team support consistent service throughout the engagement.
Practical Commercial Security Planned Around Your Site
A store’s security needs are shaped by how it operates: its layout, customer flow, trading hours, products and recurring concerns.
CATTO works with your team to understand these conditions and define the officer’s role. Before deployment, we agree on positioning, responsibilities, staff contacts, incident reporting and escalation procedures.
Officer suitability matters just as much as the brief. Retail and pharmacy security assignments require sustained attention, professional communication and the ability to respond calmly when routine customer activity changes into a security concern.
CATTO places emphasis on additional training and preparation for the individual site. Our operations team remains involved after deployment, supporting officers and maintaining communication with your business.

Professional Presence, Proportionate Response
A visible officer can influence a situation before an incident occurs. Their positioning, awareness and conduct all contribute to that presence.
CATTO emphasises calm communication and sound judgement. Depending on the circumstances, an officer may increase visibility, support a staff member, establish boundaries, observe and document a concern or escalate through the agreed channels.
Where appropriate, de-escalation helps prevent a difficult interaction from becoming physical. When decisive action is necessary, the response must remain within the officer’s authority and training.
Effective security also includes prevention: a concern raised early, an interaction resolved calmly or a shift in which customers and staff move through the store without disruption.
