◈ SERVING NOVA SCOTIA
Loss prevention starts with finding where shrink is coming from: the front door, the back, or somewhere between. First Defence builds programs across Halifax and Nova Scotia around what your numbers actually show, not a generic checklist.
Programs are built to fit the site, drawing on whichever of these it needs:
Some clients need officers on the floor now. Others need to understand the problem before staffing anything.
This page covers the program that combines both, built around what your site actually needs.

Five-star reviews from Nova Scotia businesses, venues and residents.
I’ve used First Defence Security for my business and special functions for several years. The service from top to bottom has been exceptional. A first-class company, and I would highly recommend them for any of your security needs, small to big.
Excellent experience with First Defence Security. They provide top-notch service, and communication with staff and management was first rate. Highly recommend.
I want to commend a supervisor from First Defence Security. He was incredibly professional, and he made sure the main entrance was clear and accessible. He is the reason I finally felt safe enough to go inside and see my family.
The service provided is highly professional from start to finish. The attention is excellent, and they offer support for any questions that arise during the process. I recommend them without hesitation.
We used First Defence Security for our nightclub, Rumours. Very professional.

First Defence Security provides excellent security services with a highly professional team. Definitely a company I would recommend.
Officers are trained to work a retail floor without reading as security. Every program starts with your actual numbers, not an assumption about where the problem is.
We start with your shrink numbers and a site walkthrough, then review procedures and stock handling.
It depends what the walkthrough finds. Some sites need a consulting-only review; others need officers working the floor straight away.
Retail is the most common client, but warehouses and distribution sites with inventory losses use the same approach.
It varies by site, but most programs show a measurable change within a few months.
Loss prevention is one of sixteen. These are the services clients most often pair with it, or choose instead.
Store-floor officers in plain clothes, working the aisles and the exits.
Advice without the guards: procedures, layout and stock controls reviewed.
Uniformed presence where visible deterrence matters more than blending in.
A written read on where the site is exposed, beyond stock alone.
Tell us what you need covered and we will price it. One officer or a full program, guarding, patrols or an investigation. Quotes are free, itemized, and carry no obligation to proceed.
