Browse loss prevention and asset protection openings across the Chicago metro, from the Magnificent Mile to suburban malls and big-box retail. Built for Chicago officers.
Loss prevention covers the retail side of security across Chicago, from the Magnificent Mile and State Street to suburban malls like Woodfield and Oakbrook and big-box stores throughout the metro. Roles run both uniformed and plainclothes.
Organized retail crime has pushed demand for investigators who can build cases, not just make floor stops. That specialty pays more and offers a clear path up from entry-level LP work.
LP officers watch the sales floor uniformed or in plainclothes, monitor camera systems, and make apprehensions strictly within company policy and the law. The job leans heavily on observation, documentation, and restraint.
Investigators go further, building organized retail crime cases, documenting evidence, coordinating with police, and testifying in court. In-house LP programs and contract security roles can differ on licensing, so confirm the requirement with each employer.
Chicago loss prevention pays about 18 to 24 dollars an hour for floor roles, with LP investigators and case managers reaching 25 to 30 dollars an hour. In-house corporate programs often pay above contract rates.
