How to Stop Loitering at Shopping Centers

Loitering at shopping centers creates an unsafe and unwelcoming environment for customers and tenants. From groups congregating in parking lots to individuals hanging around entrances and storefronts, loitering can discourage shoppers, lead to vandalism, and reduce overall revenue.

Why preventing loitering matters…

A clean, secure shopping environment builds trust and encourages repeat visits. Frequent loitering leads to:

• Lost foot traffic and lower sales
• Tenant complaints and early lease terminations
• Increased security costs and liability

Solutions to Stop Loitering at Malls & Retail Plazas

• Deploy Mobile Surveillance Units (Camera Towers):
  Install high-visibility mobile surveillance in key areas like entrances, parking lots, and food courts. These units feature:
• Live monitoring
• Loudspeakers and floodlights
• Motion alerts and 24/7 video evidence
• Post No-Loitering Signage:
  Ensure signs are visible, comply with local ordinances, and reference enforcement actions.
• Work with Police:
  Coordinate with local police frequent drive throughs during peak loitering times.
• Design for Visibility:
  Eliminate hidden corners and improve lighting near stairwells, back alleys, and delivery areas.
