Organized Retail Crime- Retail Theft Prevention

The point of organized retail crime is to take advantage of other retailer’s merchandise for his or her own benefit. These thieves do not care if they get their haul in one big job, or in multiple smaller ones. While major retailers have multiple locations and larger quantities of desirable merchandise making them attractive to organized retail crime, they also have more security and theft prevention resources available to help combat those thefts and inventory losses.

Smaller retailers, who may not have the most desirable selection of merchandise, may actually find themselves more prone to organized retail crime because their stores are more vulnerable without inventory security devices, or other EAS and camera systems.

National estimates are around 30 billion dollars worth of losses at the hands of Organized Retail Theft crimes. You heard that right, 30 BILLION dollars in losses. 

That is massive. It is also indicative that these crimes are so widespread that they will affect every retailer, both large and small. The biggest take away is that organized retail crime will seek out the greatest path of least resistance. 

If you have any merchandise at all that can be resold, or otherwise profited from, and you have minimal store security, you can bet that organized retail crime will be a factor in your store.
