The Challenge

Why Loitering Damages Business

Persistent loitering drives away customers, attracts additional problems, and creates liability. Traditional security creates confrontation risks. Doing nothing costs revenue.

Lost Business

Studies show 23% of customers avoid businesses where loitering is visible. Revenue impact exceeds security costs.

Escalation Risk

Loitering often precedes panhandling, drug activity, theft, and vandalism. Early intervention prevents escalation.

Guard Confrontations

Physical security creates liability risk. Confrontations can escalate to violence. Professional distance is safer.

Frequently Asked Questions

AI detection is behavior-based, not appearance-based. Thresholds apply equally to everyone. All interventions are documented on video. Consistent enforcement proves non-discriminatory policy application. This documentation protects against claims.

First warning is informational. Second warning escalates tone and mentions police. Third instance triggers law enforcement contact with documented pattern of trespass. Most leave after first warning; very few require escalation.

Configurable parameters define problematic behavior: duration thresholds (not triggered by someone waiting briefly), time-of-day context (after hours more sensitive), location context (near entrances vs. seating areas), and behavior indicators (lying down, aggressive interaction).

We work with customers to develop compassionate but consistent policies. Some provide resource information with warnings. The goal is maintaining safe commercial environments while treating everyone with dignity. Professional audio intervention avoids the confrontational dynamics that physical security creates.

For loitering specifically, yes. Guards create confrontation risk and cannot maintain consistent presence everywhere. AI monitors all areas continuously. Audio warnings provide professional distance. Cost is typically 80-90% less than guard services while achieving better results.
