When a shoplifter exits a store with an Alpha 3 Alarm secured item of merchandise, the exit doors alarm, and so does the actual the merchandise. The EAS tag has an internal alarm that emits a loud audible alarm if not deactivated at the point of sale. If the shoplifter continues to leave with the store with the merchandise, the audible alarm on the product will make it impossible for the shoplifter not to be noticed.
When we utilize Alpha Security Alpha 3 Alarm as part of our prevent shoplifting strategy, we are creating a situation where the shoplifters benefit by discarding the product on their own volition. When we attempt to interact with a shoplifter, specifically when we attempt to make a detention, we run the risk of a conflict situation escalating.
When a shoplifter is faced with confrontation they may come back to the store quietly. There is also the chance that they might try to run, or they might try to fight their way out of the situation. This puts you and everyone else around you in the risk of injury.
If you are using Alpha 3 Alarm retail anti theft devices, the alarm will encourage the shoplifter to discard the merchandise rather than continuing to hold onto something emitting a loud, noticeable noise. Once they discard the merchandise, the retailer can follow the sound until they find and retrieve the merchandise. All without further incident or risk of conflict.
