I am not an expert

August 27, 2012 by Staff Editor

There are a lot of things that I know. Some of them came from formal education. Some things came from on the job training. Other things that I know came from real life experience. I think that makes me a better, well-rounded person.

What is does not make me is an expert.

As much as I would love to say that I am an expert in everything, simply put, I am not. Realistically, no one can be. That’s why we hire out certain tasks to experts in their fields. Background check experts are a great example.

I know the basics of what a background check does. I know why background checks are important to my business. I have absolutely no idea how to even begin running and researching background checks.

This is where background check experts come into play. They know what to do and how to do it. They are well versed in the legal pieces of what they can and cannot ask. They also know what information legally cannot be obtained.

Background check experts also have the time to devote to the process. All they do is run background checks. I have a billion things going on, and even more piling up on my desk as we speak.

I am not an expert, but this time, I don’t have to be. I can concentrate on my work and let the background check expert’s focus on theirs.

Thermal Images

August 24, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Do you currently use a thermal printer in your store to print out bar codes, new labels, shelf tags, etc? If you do, then you are completely in luck! One of the best anti theft devices are cheap labels that work directly with your thermal printer.

These labels are blank which allows you to customize them for all of your retail security needs. These labels are soft EAS labels that can be disguised as other bar codes, price labels, even company logos. Because they work with your thermal printers, you don’t need to go out and buy another expensive piece of equipment. You also don’t need to pay someone else a premium to customize them for you.

The adhesion is pretty good too. These aren’t stickers like my daughter gets at the grocery store. These are real labels that are designed to stick to the products you want them to without running the risk of them falling off. There is also a thickness to them, so they won’t be ripped off the packages without putting up a good fight.

Is your stores lack of security cooking up trouble?

August 24, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Many stores offer a department dedicated to cookware. Some of the items are small and easy to conceal; knives, kitchen utensils, etc. But other larger items, like blenders, specialty coffee machines and cookware sets, are harder to hide on your person. Unfortunately, some stores do not offer bags large enough to place these sizable items in. Allowing customers to walk out with these high-priced items without a bag only opens the door for shoplifters to do the same.

Working as an LP agent, I once experienced a reoccurring shoplifter who would come into my store, select a high-priced cookware set, and walk out to his car. This happened every few weeks for several months. Eventually, we caught him red handed at the exit with an unpaid for set. When we asked him why he chose to steal this particular item over and over, he told us it was easy for him. Walking out of the store, unquestioned, with one high-valued item that could be returned later for store credit was easier than concealing multiple items.

An easy way to deter shoplifters is by attaching Anti-theft Devices to these larger items. Cheap Tags and Cheap Labels are an inexpensive fix to this problem. Also, having an associate or Retail Security personnel ensure these un-bagged items are paid for by checking receipts at the door can help prevent retail theft from happening in your store.

Right then and there

August 22, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Having EAS tags and labels is a very important step. It really should be the first step. These anti theft devices are visual deterrents to a shoplifter. They tend to work even better than cameras and domes. The reason is the immediacy of an EAS tag.

If a shoplifter steals an item with an active tag, the alarm will sound, and they will be noticed. If they steal something under a camera, or dome, there is no guarantee that someone is not only watching at the exact moment, but is specifically watching them.

Cameras are useful, don’t get me wrong, I have made many successful apprehensions because of them. I also had the liberty to spend my days watching cameras. Many small businesses do not have that luxury of time or payroll.

The EAS gives that immediate response to really protect your inventory from theft. It is the first step in a great retail security strategy and process. Don’t rely on a camera to do the job. Get something up front to show a shoplifter you mean business.

Think you know it all?

August 20, 2012 by Staff Editor

There are many ways to conduct an employee job interview. I have seen most of them at some point. I am even a little bit embarrassed to say that during my early days as a manager, I was guilty of conducting some pretty shoddy interviews that left me with some pretty questionable employees.

Once I started in security management, I was not oblivious to the usefulness of a stress interview. We would conduct them with cases of employee dishonesty. It went a little something like this:

There were two of us in a small room that we would turn the heat up a bit in. Yes, we knew to wear lighter clothes that day, to avoid the heat. One of us would stuff some folders with blank papers and grab some blank VCR tapes to “pad” our case files. While one of sat behind the desk, the other would pace the room, both rapidly firing out questions as we saw fit.

The result was a very quick confession, as our employee was not able to get his bearings straight. Unfortunately I know that some executives would use this same approach for job interviews, expecting a more “real” look at the candidate.

Times have progressed and with the availability of background checks, why go to this sort of trouble to hire a new employee. I saw first hand how these new hires started their jobs filled with animosity and would quickly move on to something else.

Had we simply stuck with running a background check, we may have retained those, and even better qualified candidates longer.

Build off of someone else’s legwork

August 20, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

I got a phone call the other day from a friend of mine who works as a district level investigator for a national retail chain. She was leaving a store when she noticed an undercover police officer escorting someone back to his patrol car. As she was watching, she noticed that all of a sudden the parking lot was filling up with squad cars, surrounding the area.

Needless to say, she was rather taken aback and decided to wait and see what was going on. Sure enough, moments later one of the store employees, who had been sitting I his car, was being put into handcuffs and taken away.

She immediately went in to let the store managers know that there was a very distinct possibility that employee would not be returning from his lunch break.

Now, there is always the protocol of innocent until proven guilty in our legislative system. However, that doesn’t mean we should not be doing our due diligence and opening up an employee theft investigation.

If the employee is clean, than the employee theft investigation will yield no results. If you have an employee selling drugs, or other illicit activities on their lunch break, in the store’s parking lot, mind you, than chances are, there will be something to find in that employee theft investigation.

As investigators, we have our pride to think about and always want to feel like we are on top of every single employee theft case. We never want to feel like we overlooked, or weren’t smart enough to catch on to the employee theft.

That doesn’t mean we can’t push our pride aside and let someone else’s investigation open the door to our own employee theft case.

Anti-theft devices aren’t just anti-shoplifting tools

August 20, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

One of the things that happen to plague most retail companies is employees “accidentally” going home with a piece of equipment in their pockets. The items range in size and scope from pens and memo pads to pricing guns, mag-keys, and walkie-talkies. The truth is that a lot of the time, it is simply a matter of an employee forgetting to turn in their gear at the end of their shift but what it does is creates issues when too much equipment has walked out the door leaving a handful or no usable equipment left in the store to conduct necessary business.

By managing a log of who is assigned certain pieces of equipment a store can certainly lessen the impact of these disappearing items. But to be certain the more important pieces don’t go for a stroll you should look into attaching an anti-theft device that will sound the alarm when something crosses the threshold that shouldn’t. A set of Cheap Labels can cover most walkie-talkie units without lessening their effectiveness. Same goes for mag-keys (as long as they are applied to the correct side). As for price guns a Cheap Tag attached via a loop or around a part of the handle works just fine.

10 Minutes is a long time

August 20, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

When you think of time, you understand that a second is over in a flash. A minute, takes a little longer, but depending on what is going on in that minute, it can feel like an eternity.

10 minutes is an eternity if you are waiting for an important phone call. 10 minutes is an eternity if you are standing in line waiting to check out at a store. 10 minutes is an eternity if you are a 3 Alarm retail anti theft device screaming at the shoplifter who stole you.

That’s right a 3 Alarm tag will sound for ten full minutes before it ceases its audible alarm. Hopefully the 3 Alarm retail anti theft devices will prevent shoplifting form the get go. If for some reason it does not deter the thief, there is essentially a three-step warning to convince them otherwise.

Step one is the perimeter warning. If the tags get too close to the entry doors without being detached, an alarm will sound.

The second step in the warning system is if the product is being tampered with. If a shoplifter tries to disarm or detach the 3 Alarm products without the proper detacher, it will generate an alarm.

Finally, if the shoplifter still tries to steal the product, the 3 Alarm tag will continue to emit a siren for a full ten minutes. That should be long enough for the shoplifter to come to their senses, drop the merchandise, and let you come retrieve it.

Gluten Free Living

August 17, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

I have long since tried to avoid all of the diet fads. I just assumed that if I tried to eat a well-balanced and proportionate diet, than I was pretty much good to go.

Well, lately I have been paying more attention to the production of foods and what goes into them. I now try to avoid a lot of the chemical additives.

Now they are saying that even some of our Healthy foods are dangerous because of the genetic modifications to our food and plant sources. For a lot of people Gluten sensitivity is a real issue to overcome because of these genetic enhancements.

Luckily for us, our anti theft devices are gluten free. The cheap labels used for anti shoplifting have an adhesive backing to it. Unlike postage stamps or envelopes (which may contain gluten) these EAS labels do not need to be licked. This eliminates any chance of having a reaction to gluten.

I wouldn’t go out and test this theory by licking an EAS label. It will probably taste pretty disgusting, and they are self-adhesive, so that would just be pretty much counter productive.

With a quickness

August 15, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

So I submitted my information for a sample of the Checkpoint compatible anti theft devices. By was I shocked when they came in! I was expecting a package to arrive in the mail in about a month with like one little sticker in it.

Ha, boy was I wrong to think that!

For starters, the green envelope came within a few days, not sure exactly, but I don’t think it even took a week to get to me. Then when I opened it up, wow, out came this cascade of labels.

I think they included a few of each kind of label that they carry. It was nice to be able to look at all of their products instead of just seeing only one or two examples.

It was also nice to be able to look at all the samples at my leisure. There wasn’t any pushy salesperson pressuring me to by enormous quantities right then and there. I had time to think about what I needed for my business, and evaluate what they had sent.

Because of the samples, I was able to find an even better solution with their products than what I thought I had been looking for.
