Anti Shoplifting Measures – Atlanta Georgia

The most satisfying part of any anti shoplifting program is the actual apprehension and prosecution of a shoplifter.  Although watching a shoplifter taken away in a police car with his hands shackled behind his back gives some of us a personal sense of accomplishment, in some ways it indicates a failure in our effort to stop shoplifting.

For every shoplifter who is caught, how many get away with stolen merchandise?  I know that plenty do, because only the worst or most unfortunate shoplifters are generally caught.  The others, the good ones, do all they can to reduce the chances of taking the sad ride down to the police station.  They look carefully for CCTV cameras, covert lookouts, sales personnel, store loss prevention and any other hindrances to their endeavors that may be obvious.

Any and all these things designed for retail theft prevention may cause a shoplifter to rethink his intention, or move to a different location in the store, or find another store altogether.  This is the purpose of retail loss prevention, to convince the shoplifter that he would be better served to go to an easier target to resupply his empty shopping bags or abandon the idea altogether.

One of the most efficient ways to get your anti shoplifting message across to the potential shoplifter is with the addition of a Checkpoint Security System.  The antennas, though they are unassuming, stand at the entryway as a warning that the retailer at this location cares enough about his business to actively keep shoplifters out.  Shoplifters tend to go to locations where they don’t have to work quite so hard to steal merchandise.  Whenever merchandise with Checkpoint security tags attached passes the antennas, an alarm is sounded, an event the shoplifter had rather avoid.

Get out of the shoplifter business by taking a look at your anti shoplifting program.
