Company Description

Metro One Security is a privately owned, living-wage employer that has grown since 1994 from a local guard-based firm into a nationally recognized leader in retail loss prevention, trusted by many of the top U.S. retailers. The company is known for disciplined hiring and training practices and for strategies that focus on preventing loss rather than simply reacting to incidents. All operations are supported by Aurix, a proprietary automation platform that enhances prevention, detection, and reporting across client sites. Metro One integrates closely with retail operations—from dock to display, during store openings, and through seasonal surges—to protect people, products, and profitability. Team members join an organization that values reliability, consistency, and proactive adaptation to emerging threats.
