    Frequently asked questions

    Can your detectives arrest a thief?

    +

    Yes. Citizen's arrest is framed by section 494 of the Canadian Criminal Code. Our agents are trained to strictly respect the conditions (direct witnessing, reasonable force, prompt handover) to avoid any civil liability against your store.

    What shrink reduction can I expect?

    +

    Our clients typically see a 40% to 70% drop in unknown shrink within the first months. The deterrent effect of a plainclothes detective is among the most documented.

    Plainclothes or uniform — which to choose ?

    +

    Uniform = entrance deterrence and visible incident management. Plainclothes = detection and apprehension of repeat and organized thieves. Most clients combine both based on hours.

    Do you cover multi-store banners?

    +

    Yes. We run province-wide programs for multi-location banners with consolidated reports, harmonized KPIs and centralized billing.

    Will your agents testify in court?

    +

    Yes. The apprehension file is drafted to judicial standards (statement, video, witnesses) and our detectives appear in court when the Crown summons them.
