Bear Valley Shopping Center — Retail Safety & Community Support

100+ daily interactions with tenants, customers, and visitors

Multi-zone patrols across parking lots, storefronts, and public areas

Recognized partner of the Denver Police Department

Consistent, non-escalatory presence supporting tenants and property managers

Long-term relationship built on responsiveness and transparency
Bear Valley Shopping Center is a high-traffic community retail environment serving families, seniors, regular visitors, and local businesses throughout the day and into the evening.

The property requires a visible, approachable safety presence—one that deters issues early, supports tenants, and maintains a welcoming atmosphere without disrupting the customer experience.
AAS provides daily operational support focused on deterrence, communication, de-escalation, and proactive observation—strengthening safety while preserving the character of a community-centered retail space.
The environment required a partner who understood:
- Public-facing retail dynamics
- High daily interaction with diverse visitors
- Evening and weekend activity patterns
- Tenant support and responsiveness
- Parking-lot and perimeter visibility
- Community trust and law-enforcement coordination
Bear Valley needed a safety partner who could:
- Maintain a calm, professional presence
- Interact positively with the public
- De-escalate issues before escalation
- Support tenants and property management
