Guards for the facilities where inventory volume, labor turnover, and trailer traffic collide.
Join 200+ facilities secured Nationwide.
A distribution center moves more merchandise in a shift than most stores sell in a quarter, through a building where hundreds of workers, dozens of trailers, and thousands of cartons cross paths daily. Peak season doubles the labor, the dock doors never close, and the shrink hides inside the throughput. OPPS provides distribution center security across Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware designed for that scale and that pace.
Our warehouse distribution security covers the flow itself: employee entrances at shift change, dock operations while trailers load, yard movements between drops, and the exception moments: the unscheduled pickup, the propped fire door, the carton in the wrong place, where losses begin.
DCs run on temporary labor surges and constant trailer churn, which means access control cannot rely on recognizing faces. Our coverage runs on verification instead: badges checked at every entry, trailers confirmed against schedules, and exit procedures that hold at 4 PM on December’s busiest Friday exactly as they hold in February.
Your workforce is honest, mostly, and deserves to be treated that way. Our guards run entry and exit procedures respectfully and evenly, because fulfillment center security that humiliates the many to catch the few poisons the building, while consistent professional process catches more and offends no one
Every loss path in a distribution center runs through a countable set of doors: employee entrances, dock doors, trailer gates, and the emergency exits that should never open. We map yours, then cover them: entrance posts verifying badges and managing shift-change surges, dock presence during live loading where cartons migrate, gate control confirming every trailer movement against the schedule, and patrol routes that put eyes on the exits and corners your camera coverage renders in six pixels.
Peak season gets its own plan: surge staffing scaled to your labor ramp, extended dock coverage for extended hours, and the tightened exception response that November demands. Because DC losses do not rise at peak because thieves get smarter, they rise because coverage gets thinner exactly when volume gets thicker, and we staff against that math.
Every shift documented, every exception logged, every incident reported in the format your loss prevention team runs on.

FAQs
Yes. Entrance procedures are designed for your actual headcount and shift structure, staffed so verification holds without creating the line that makes supervisors demand shortcuts.
Yes, and it is the most valuable coverage a DC buys. Surge staffing scales with your labor ramp and extended hours, planned in advance so peak coverage strengthens exactly when risk peaks.
By procedure: held at the gate, verified against dispatch, documented either way. Fictitious pickups are among the fastest-growing cargo crimes, and the gate that verifies is the gate that stops them.
