FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a uniformed guard and a plainclothes LP officer?

A uniformed guard deters opportunistic theft through visible presence. A plainclothes LP officer detects and documents theft activity — including by organized groups who have adapted to uniformed security. Effective programs often combine both.

Can LP officers legally detain shoplifting suspects?

AF Patrol LP officers are trained in merchant detention under California Penal Code Section 490.5, which grants retail merchants the right to detain individuals when there is probable cause to believe shoplifting has occurred

Can you provide LP for a single small retail store?

Yes — boutiques, pharmacies, specialty retailers, and standalone stores of any size throughout Orange County

Do you increase LP staffing during holiday seasons?

Yes. AF Patrol provides surge LP staffing for the holiday shopping season, major promotional events, and other high-traffic periods.

What types of retail environments does AF Patrol serve in Orange County?

Shopping centers, strip malls, standalone retail stores, pharmacies, electronics retailers, clothing stores, and specialty retail throughout Orange County — including South Coast Plaza corridor, the Irvine Spectrum, Harbor Boulevard, Beach Boulevard, and all major OC retail corridors.
