Caught Red (Lobster) Handed- Checkpoint Security Systems

November 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Sometimes shoplifting is not a well thought out, super high tech crime. Sometimes shoplifting happens because of an individual’s immediate need. These low-tech crimes are still happening frequently. Checkpoint Security Systems are an ideal way to identify these shoplifters.
A recent news story came out around a lady who decided to go into her local supermarket to shoplift. She seemed to think that the best way to commit this crime was to conceal the product that she wanted. She was extremely obvious in her crime, and was quickly caught on the store’s Checkpoint Security System.
This woman walked over to the seafood section and quickly picked up several packages of lobster tails. She picked up so many packages that the total was over $80 dollars worth. Since she didn’t think to bring a bag with her, she used the next best thing- her pants. 
The store security team watched as she stuffed her pants full of packages of lobster tails and then wobbled her way to the exit doors. Because her pants were so full, she was even more obvious as she tried to leave. When she was apprehended, she told police that she was going to trade the tails to a friend for either a buffet lunch or for some prescription drugs.

Move It Around- Liquor Bottle Security

November 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Most retail stores are set up to a specific diagram and adjacencies based upon which vendors are paying for prime real estate inside the store. Liquor store are no different. The big name brands want their products in the most prominent locations so they can maximize on their sales, not necessarily the liquor stores.
So what do you do if this is actually causing other problems for you? These particular vendors might be increasing their sales, but what if it is negatively impacting your store in other ways?
One example is the big display stands and signage that some vendors are requiring. It might be to big, or placed in such a way that you now have a blind spot in the back of your store that shoplifters are taking advantage of. 
Maybe because one vendor wants their items placed up front, it caused you to push other products to these back corners and you are having an issue with their losses?
Don’t feel like you are trapped into these negative impact situations solely on these vendor requirements, just so you can continue to sell their brands. Evaluate your store layout and see what you can do to remerchandise the problem areas. 
Work with your vendors and explain specifically why you have a problem, and then outline what you would like to do as an alternative. They might come up with a different suggestion, but any reputable vendor should work with you to solve the problem.

Non Inventory Store Losses- Clothing Security

November 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I had a recent discussion with a small business that did not know how to look for clothing losses since they did not conduct an inventory. They guessed that they were being targeted by shoplifters, partly due to the frequency of people entering their store and not buying anything, and partly because they did not use any electronic article surveillance systems either.
We knew that in order to solve the problem, we needed to have some ways to identify what kinds of thefts were taking place, and what kinds of clothing protection would be effective to stop the inventory losses for happening.
We started by taking a look at the store’s sales reports. We broke the sales down by departments and compared them to last month’s sales and last year’s. We noticed which departments were behind on their sales goals for the year, and which ones did not increase compared to last year. I explained that if they did not have the right products to sell, then they would not have a chance at meeting or exceeding their sales goals.
Next we looked for signs of theft- specifically for torn of clothing tags. We found several caches of them behind the mirrors in the fitting rooms. We also found them under some shelves in an unattended corner of the store.

Plug And Play- Alpha Security

October 30, 2014 by Leave a Comment
The Alpha Nano Gate is a smaller version of the cumbersome EAS towers most retailers are using to manage their retail anti theft devices. It is also infinitely easier and more cost effective for a small retailer or specialty shop to use. 
Conventional EAS towers are maintained under service contracts, require complicated hard wiring to install, and need to be tuned and service regularly to ensure that they are functioning properly.
The Alpha Nano Gate literally is plugged in and ready to go. Without a need for a service contract, bulky wiring, or tuning, it is easy to see why the Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate won an award in the economic efficiency category.
The small design is easily installed with six screws and a battery to back up the system in case of power failure or intentional tampering.  This design makes it easy to be installed into the smaller entryways often found in specialty boutiques and locally owned retail establishments.
When you are a small retailer, you are constantly on the look out for ways to reduce your overhead. Finding a cost effective way to prevent shoplifting is beneficial in not only reducing your operating costs, but to also increase your revenue through maximizing inventory availability.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store for Alpha 2Alarm, Alpha 3Alarm, Alpha Fashion2, Alpha Jewel Lok, Alpha Nano Gate,  Alpha Shark Tag, Alpha Spider Wrap and other retail anti-theft devices from Alpha Security to use in conjunction with your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system that can help you prevent shoplifting in your business.

Surf The Web –Employee Background Checks

October 29, 2014 by
After careful evaluation of the pros and cons, you have decided to conduct pre employment screening on all of your potential employees. To save some money, you decided to forego using a background check company for these employee background checks. 
You figured that just about anything can be found by searching the internet with a little bit of digging on your own. That’s what a background check company charges for anyway, isn’t it- their time to dig up information- to surf the web?
Well, there are two missing parts to the puzzle that may cause you some problems. The first concern is how far you are going to go to get these histories and employee background checks- especially if this applicant has moved around at all. 
The next concern is what happens if you dig up incorrect information on a potential candidate and subsequently decline a job offer to a candidate based on those findings. You (your company) can be held liable for that information and can be sued by that candidate for slander and other offenses in a court of law. Would you know how to fix that information if the situation came up?
This is the larger part of what you pay a background check company for. They are responsible for the accuracy of the pre employment screening they conduct. If there is a discrepancy, this company has the legal obligation to have it corrected in a timely manner.

Everything Is In Working Order- Checkpoint Security Systems

October 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Anti shoplifting tools are there to be used both during and after operating hours. Components like EAS devices deter and stop shoplifting during the day, while your Checkpoint security system protects your inventory at night. Just as you would perform a test of your EAS devices and towers, you should perform a test of your security system to make sure everything is in working order
The alarm test is actually pretty simple to conduct and should not take more than about twenty to thirty minutes, depending on the size of your store and the amount of access points to test.
Step one is to call the alarm monitoring company and tell them you are going to conduct a test of your Checkpoint Security Systems. They will place the system on test for you. This is extremely important to do first. 
If your system is not on test mode, the alarms that you trigger will notify the police. You may be charged a false alarm fee by your city if the police have to respond.
Next walk through your store. Make sure you walk past all motion sensors and open all doors that have an alarm. When you are done, call the alarm company back to have your system taken off of test mode. 
You will now have a detailed list of all points that triggered. Any point that did not alarm that should have needs to have maintenance done immediately.
By ensuring that all points are working, you know that your store will be protected in the event of an after hour break in.

Providing Valuable In Stock Positions- Retail Anti Theft Devices

October 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When customers can walk into a retail location, find the merchandise items they want, and the quantities they need, sales will increase increase. Taking it one step further, you also get the advantage of repeat business. The customer knows they can rely on your retail location to be in stock for their consumer needs. When you prevent shoplifting, you assure your customers that you will consistently have the right in stock availability to satisfy your customer’s needs. 
Industry leader Alpha Security products are tried and true retail anti theft devices specifically created to decrease shoplifting, while maintaining better inventory accuracy. 
As shoplifting decreases, our inventories become more accurate and more plentiful (due to a lack of missing merchandise). We, as retailers, spend significantly less time worrying about whether or not we have a particular item in stock, and more time getting the customers to actually buy them.
By providing our customer base with valuable in stock positions, sales are maximized and profits are increased. As a customer, it is very frustrating to shop for a specific item and have it be out of stock. It is even more frustrating if the entire shopping trip had been centered on an advertisement or a specifically needed item and the store was all out.

Building Your Career- Pre Employment Screening

October 22, 2014 by
Looking for a new job to build your career can be just as frustrating as it is for employers to find a suitable candidate for their open positions. This is partly due to changes in how both employers and employees approach interviews and hiring in general. Pre employment screening still plays an important part in the process, but is left to be one of the last steps before a candidate is finalized.
There was a recent survey conducted by a popular employment website. It went through many of the pitfalls employers were coming up against in finding new, qualified candidates. The employers interviewed spoke of candidates not showing up for interviews, declining positions after they had accepted them, and some candidates not even showing up for their first day of work with no communication.
Then the survey flipped around to interview the candidates who had actually applied for posted positions. It was surprising to find out that the amount of disconnect from employees communicating with employers, there was a major lack of communication from employers back to the actual employees. 
Many employers, who received applications, sent out an automatically generated email stating that the application was under review. That was pretty consistent, it was in additional communication that things started going downhill. Of those received applications, very few were notified by the company that they had not been picked for an interview. Of the ones that had been picked, even fewer candidates were actually notified that they did not receive the job.

Identifying Time Card Theft- Loss Prevention Seminars

October 21, 2014 by
Cash theft or inventory theft are not the only ways an employee can steal from you. Any unauthorized use or gain of company assets- including payroll is considered a form of employee theft. 
Attending loss prevention seminars that cover a variety of theft situations can help you understand and identify some of the seemingly lesser methods of employee theft. One of the methods covered in the loss prevention seminars is time card theft.
Because it is easier for an employee to justify a slide in their favor of the hours worked than it is to justify stealing cash for that same amount of money, time card theft is an often overlooked but equally as detrimental form of theft. Time card theft usually starts out pretty small- a few minutes here and there. If left unchecked, employees can start to wheedle multiple hours out of you before you begin to notice.
Loss prevention training can help you to not only see when time card theft is happening, but what to do about it, and ultimately how to avoid it from happening again. Stores that consistently over in their budgeted hours every week should take a closer look to see if they are being affected by time card theft. Even a few extra hours each week can add up to big losses throughout the course of a year.

One, Two, Three- Internal Theft

October 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment
It is not uncommon in an internal theft situation that more than one method of theft is uncovered. In one particular case, we had two employees working together, or so we thought.
One employee would ring up the other employee. Upon review, not all of the merchandise brought to the POS had been sold. Instead of all ten items being sold, only one or two would be and the rest of the items would walk out the door. This would cause a shortage of eight items, and of course the items that were sold were the lowest dollar amount out of all of them.
We later discovered that the extra items were then refunded for store credit. In essence, we were getting the hit by the theft of the item, and then the refund of the item. 
Had we stopped our investigation at the pass offs at the register, we would have missed the refunds. We also would have missed that there was a third employee conducting the refunds, because they knew the product was stolen.
Once we started observing these employees, we found out that all three of them were actually stealing product and passing off inventory to the others. 
Without a thorough employee theft investigation, we would never have realized just how far the losses were going. The internal theft we started with was an important stepping stone to see how the entire puzzle would unfold.
