The Western Australian Government’s new legislation marks a decisive shift in how violence and intimidation in retail environments are addressed. For the first time, courts can authorise the barring of known violent offenders from specific retail premises, with enforceable consequences for breaches.
But legislation alone does not protect people. For these court orders to work in practice, retailers need a safe, realistic way to identify barred individuals in real time, without placing frontline workers at risk.
ABT Security Systems’ privacy-first facial recognition enables retailers to enforce court-approved exclusion orders ethically and effectively. The technology automatically detects authorised individuals, alerts qualified staff instantly, and supports calm, controlled intervention—without relying on manual identification or confrontation.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with existing CCTV infrastructure, ABT’s solution operates on a strict watchlist-only basis, blurs bystanders by default, encrypts all data, and complies fully with Australian privacy and human rights frameworks.
This is not surveillance. It is targeted protection—ensuring young workers, casual staff, and customers can enter retail spaces without fear of harm.
Discover how ethical, court-aligned facial recognition can support this new legislation and help make retail a safer place to work.
