Clients can choose to have ProActive Risk Management (PARM) train their security staff or can outsource some or all of their security services to PARM.

PARM’s Security Services maximizes its clients’ return on investment, brings operational & process enhancements, and supports their corporate image by expertly making the security function an integral part of their operations. Whether it’s by combining technological and human-driven initiatives in focused operations, by developing efficient loss prevention & security operating procedures or by providing a service of outsourced security, investigation, and post-alarm event management, PARM’s solutions are aimed at the continued viability of its clients’ organizations.

* Since PARM complies with all laws and regulations in all countries we perform our activities, in the province of Quebec, Canada, the services and products regulated by the BSP Quebec are referred to outside trusted organizations that comply to the Private Security Act (PSA) and its regulations. 

Businesses should absolutely set aside funding in their budgets for security consultants. Unless there is an expert on staff, and there usually is not, it needs to be outsourced.

PARM emphasizes efficient budgeting and scheduling of all security guards and loss prevention officers while at the same time ensuring that the coverage is appropriate and targeted. The effectiveness of this budgeting and scheduling process is periodically evaluated by undertaking productivity assessments.

When an incident warrants it PARM will rapidly deploy the appropriate resources, be they guards, police, fire or special teams. If an alarm is triggered by a technical issue with the alarm system PARM will coordinate the effort required to rectify the issue. Based on established thresholds PARM produces weekly reports for upper management in which trends are identified and appropriate action plans proposed.

PARM can in conjunction with a client’s operation team develop standardized cash register operating procedures and provide best practise training. These trainings are developed in conjunction with the client’s management to ensure that they are in accordance with the stores Standard Operating Procedures.

If shrink levels are too high PARM can develop initiatives aimed at reducing those levels.

PARM can remotely examine sales register “tapes” and or transaction reports searching for suspicious activity such as abnormally high voids, no sales and suspicious refunds, etc. If any suspect activity is detected PARM may, if they are available, examine video surveillance recordings to confirm the suspicions.
