Retail security when Resources are Limited

I was recently brought into a new store as a loss prevention supervisor and have found my resources extremely lacking and my workload practically back breaking.  The store has little in the way of available retail anti-theft devices, no retail security cameras to truly speak of, and the staff is made up of people who are either employee theft suspects or completely clueless in the way of shrink reduction practices.

I know that I am not the first loss prevention professional to encounter such a daunting situation while being assigned a store.  In fact it is not the first time that I, myself, have been put into such a situation.  However there are those among our ranks, usually the newer members of the profession, who might retreat when faced with such obstacles.  For those in the latter camp I have two pieces of advice that might make things easier to tackle. 

The first is common sense.  No matter how bad things in your store might be, don’t try to tackle every problem at once.  Take your issues one at a time in a priority of worst-case to easy-peasy and you’ll save yourself a ton of headaches.

 Secondly, don’t let a lack of resources stop you.  Rather, get inventive with what you have at your disposal.  No cameras?  Enforce a 100% tagging policy.  Not enough staff?  Let your cashiers be your eyes and ears.  Improvisation is the key to solving problems.
