While you can never find it on a syllabus or meeting agenda, making contacts is one of my favorite parts of attending a loss prevention workshop.
Attending loss prevention seminars provides an opportunity to have an open conversation on this topic. If you have worked retail for any span of time, you will most likely come across a shoplifter or an employee theft situation. Even if you didn’t see the shoplifter, you were probably aware of their presence in your store at some point.
Loss prevention training gives you a chance to talk about your experiences with theft. How you handled it, maybe something that you started that worked, and maybe something that didn’t work.
Other attendees have a chance to regale their stories as well. That’s one of the best parts of a workshop. The informal training allows you to learn from each other’s hands on experiences. I have always felt that most attendees learn more from these impromptu discussions better than a long drawn out training forum.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to loss prevention. Most of the tactics used by or to prevent shoplifters are pretty universal. It is just a matter of being aware of them and knowing how to apply them to your store.
