Malls are similar to shopping centers in that they are comprised of many stores connected together with major entrance points, but differ in that they are contained within a vast building. Customers enter and exit through major entrances in high-traffic areas. A mall security guard can observe who is entering and leaving these areas a and the various stores inside. Security officers have a larger area to observe in malls and shopping centers than in retail stores, so a different security plan must be implemented.
