History of Retail Security Services

Our Story

For us, It’s Personal.

Retail Security Services (RSS) was founded in 2014 by the team behind our sister company, Professional Retail Services (PRS). We were a group of operators who had spent years navigating urgent facility issues and earning client trust the hard way.

What we saw, again and again, was a deeper need. Not just someone to fix what was broken, but someone to protect people and property before things went wrong.

So we built RSS with a small team and a clear promise: No ticket numbers. No call centers. No excuses. Just fast, human-first security from people who know your sites and care about your outcomes.

Today, we’re a national operation, serving clients across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. 

But the model still feels personal. And we intend to keep it that way.

What we do differently.

You'll see it in the details.
How we answer, act, and follow through.

hassle free onboarding

No long-term contracts or required exclusivity, and clients receive a single point of contact to manage all services.

rapid response readiness

When urgency strikes, you won’t wait in silence. You’ll reach a real person who knows your business, fast. And we’ll keep you informed every step of the way until it’s resolved.

matched partnerships

Team members are assigned based on personality fit, not just title or vertical.

end-to-end
service

From scheduling and insurance to reporting, warranties, and follow-ups, our team handles it all…so you don’t have to.

honest, real communication

You get straight answers, not runaround. We’re transparent, responsive, and don’t believe in sugarcoating problems.

proactive
problem solvers

We’re not just a body at the door. Our guards are trained to observe, report, and think ahead, spotting risks early and stepping in before small issues become big ones.

24/7
human support

When you call, we answer. No ticket numbers or outsourced scripts. Just real people who know your sites and what's at stake.

WBENC certified and proudly woman-owned. A rarity in security and facilities, and a real source of pride for our team.
