What Makes You Vulnerable? – Shoplifting

November 20, 2014 by
Shoplifting happens to the best of us. No matter how many protections we place in and around our store, shoplifting is going to happen and there is nothing we can do about it… At least that’s how some business owners seem to think.
The reality is that most shoplifting can be prevented. Some of them might be easy fixes, and some of them might require a more complex system to keep the shrink losses at bay. 
The difference between the two thought processes is in the amount of loss prevention training you have. The more training and education you have, the better your chances of reducing your overall shrink losses.
The key is in knowing what your specific store vulnerabilities are and how they happen. Maybe you have inattentive employees on the weekends. Perhaps your high theft merchandise would benefit from being placed at the front of the store where employees can watch it better. Can you use EAS and other retail anti theft devices to keep your desirable products on the sales floor for customers, but deterring theft at the same time?
Loss prevention training isn’t just about how to apprehend a shoplifter. It is about identifying your store’s vulnerable areas and finding plausible, financially sound, and effective solutions for them.

What You Should Be Auditing

November 5, 2014 by Leave a Comment

theft (11)When you work for yourself, you often spend a lot of time inventing the wheel. There is no corporate policy already in place for your stores to adapt. No one is there looking over your shoulder and telling you what records to keep and for how long. Sure, you probably have an accountant somewhere helping you with some record retention requirements. There are other IRS and tax records that you keep for a certain period of time. Overall, it is up to you to make these decisions and have a standard in place.

One area that can be difficult to make your own standard is having an internal audit. While it is a chore to come up with the questions and audit points, the payoff of having a better standardization and in store accountability will far exceed the trouble you put into to establish an audit.

One of the best places to start is by researching Sarbanes- Oxley. The Sarbanes- Oxley act of 2002 is a set of legal requirements that all organizations, regardless of size, must comply with. It basically regulates financial practices, after several companies were found guilty of falsifying their own financial records. The company’s biggest fallout was that they ended up devastating thousands of their own employees financially.

The ultimate point of the act is that companies are required to provide accurate and truthful information as to the company’s financial status. Over inflating sales, inventory, amongst other practices, to give a deceitful impression of a company’s success is now illegal. Companies must retain records of their financial status to ensure accuracy at all levels.

The easiest way to do this is to perform self-audits in key areas. These audits should be done daily, weekly, monthly and yearly, depending upon the task. Hiring a consultant can provide you with the legal specifics to keep your company on the up and up. Understanding the basics ahead of time can help you decrease those consultation costs, as you will already have some practices in place.

The first place to start is with your inventory. Understanding a cradle to grave approach to your product will not only help you with accuracy in your auditing, but keeping a closer eye on your product will help you decrease your shrink over the long term. Your starting point is with your receipt of goods.

Each shipment of inventory you receive should be documented and a bill of lading retained and filed by month. On each BOL should be the signature of who received the items, the date and time received, and a check mark or tally of what was received- either by piece, box or pallet.

Next, you should maintain listings and reports of items that are taken out of your inventory for a specific reason. If they are damaged and thrown out, sent back to a vendor for credit, used in the store, stolen, etc. There needs to be a paper trail attached to where these items have gone and why. A signature, or employee ID or who reallocated the products disposition should be included with these document (also retained and filed by month).

If you are still using paper sales receipts, including paper journal tapes, those records need to be filed by date, and then month. This is your listing of what merchandise has left your stores and is your proof that these sales actually happened and were not fraudulently contrived. If you have an electronic sales tracking system, you still need to have paper documentation of these sales retained somewhere in case of a computer glitch, etc.

Finally, all returns must be retained and spot-checked for accuracy. Since returns are another way for inventory to come back into the store, it is an important process to verify that these returns are accurate. Look for multiple transactions of the same item, or significantly larger dollar transactions. These are the returns that are most likely to have been done in error (over inflating your actual inventory) or can point to an employee’s dishonest activities.

Like An Old Friend- Loss Prevention Workshop

November 3, 2014 by
Everyone has that one person in their lives that they look up to and frequent for insight and advice. This person is usually experienced, wizened and has seen enough of the world to have a different, and useful perspective on any given situation. These are the mentors we rely on for advice in our love lives, financial matters, and other personal questions.
Hopefully, we also have a mentor like that in our work lives, not just in our personal lives. This should be someone who has a greater insight to different aspects and topics of our business than we do. It should also be someone who has valuable insight based off of his or her own experiences.
A mentor like this is particularly important when it comes to loss prevention and store security. The business acumen needed for these areas can’t easily be learned simply from reading up on the topics. Having a mentor, especially one that has personally encountered many of the potential security situations, helps you become that much more knowledgeable.
Having an experienced mentor to explain the nuances and pros and cons of certain actions to improve store security and reduce shoplifting losses will be far better than anything you can get from a manual computer based learning scenario alone.

Identifying Time Card Theft- Loss Prevention Seminars

October 21, 2014 by
Cash theft or inventory theft are not the only ways an employee can steal from you. Any unauthorized use or gain of company assets- including payroll is considered a form of employee theft. 
Attending loss prevention seminars that cover a variety of theft situations can help you understand and identify some of the seemingly lesser methods of employee theft. One of the methods covered in the loss prevention seminars is time card theft.
Because it is easier for an employee to justify a slide in their favor of the hours worked than it is to justify stealing cash for that same amount of money, time card theft is an often overlooked but equally as detrimental form of theft. Time card theft usually starts out pretty small- a few minutes here and there. If left unchecked, employees can start to wheedle multiple hours out of you before you begin to notice.
Loss prevention training can help you to not only see when time card theft is happening, but what to do about it, and ultimately how to avoid it from happening again. Stores that consistently over in their budgeted hours every week should take a closer look to see if they are being affected by time card theft. Even a few extra hours each week can add up to big losses throughout the course of a year.

Development Of Assets- Loss Prevention Training

October 8, 2014 by
Investment groups are becoming notorious for buying up retailers and small businesses with one clear intention- creating unmatched profits and massive payouts for the top-level executives, as well as for the investment firm.
One of the main changes these investment firms will make is in staffing and payroll reductions. They reduce the employee hours and benefits to about as minimum as what they can get away with. Depending upon which side of the coin you are on, this is either a completely brilliant or completely inane business strategy. The deciding factor falls within what you want the longevity of your business to be.
For the companies being sold to investment firms, many will not be around in five to ten years. They will be sold, or may go under completely after all of the assets have been striped of any redeeming value. The longevity of the company is not important, the short-term profits are.
For companies who are looking for longevity, treating employees as assets to be nurtured and developed is essential. The more training employees have, they more they will feel in control, and valued. They are more willing to go the extra mile for the business, and want to further their own growth and development as an employee.
Employee development can take the form of computer based learning, seminars, workshops, and one on one development.

Ownership and Understanding- Loss Prevention Training

October 1, 2014 by
Employee training methods are constantly changing and evolving. The purpose of employee training however remains the same: to promote employee ownership and understanding. Specifically to loss prevention training, employees who have a deeper understanding are more likely to take ownership of these processes and actively reduce shrinkage in your stores.
Loss prevention training takes many forms. Some of them are self-monitored, such as computer based learning programs, or handbook reviews. Some loss prevention training comes directly from supervisors in the store. These kinds of trainings center around store specific policies and procedures designed to minimize risk and exposure. Others are aimed toward store operations and how to handle day-to-day tasks and assignments.
Lastly, loss prevention seminars can take place. They might be geared towards the entire store, or it might be for all of the management staff for a multi location company. Either way, the end result is still to train your employees so they have a more through understanding of how certain actions affect a store’s shrink and profit lines.
It is also a way for employees to understand what to look for and why thieves act the way they do- which is a deterrent in and of itself for employee theft. The end result is that employees who are knowledgeable are more likely to react to situations they are comfortable with a positive result.

Give Away The Answers- Employee Theft

September 25, 2014 by
I was having a conversation with a peer of mine that runs his own business. He was telling me that he was not convinced that he should do employee theft training with his employees. He felt that if he did formalized loss prevention training on employee theft, he would be giving away the answers and ways for his employees to turn around and steal from him.
I had to stop and think about it for a minute. Yes. It is possible that an employee might get ideas on how to defraud his employer after going through that sort of loss prevention workshop. What my peer didn’t think about is that the employee was probably already toying with the idea of theft, or had already tested the waters in their own way.
The flip side is that when you take your team of employees to a loss prevention workshop, you are actually showing them why they should not steal. These seminars are designed to create more eyes that will be aware of what is going on at the store level.
If an employee is thinking about stealing, they know that there are more people aware of methods and red flags- making it more likely to be caught. By sending your employees to training also sends a message that you are raising awareness of all facets of your business and that employee theft will not be tolerated.

Shoplifting News

September 18, 2014 by Leave a Comment

shoplifting2The people and the methods shoplifters use nowadays should not come as a surprise for any of us. From the elderly to the handicapped shoplifting is a crime that seems to have no age nor race attached to it. For a retail store, prevention seems the solution that makes sense, and can keep the store from losing its profits.

To read more about this follow the links below.

Shoplifting Suspect Shirley Mason Used Wheelchair Cart For Getaway: Cops

FRUITPORT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Police in Michigan say they arrested a shoplifting suspect following her slow-speed getaway in a $1,200 motorized wheelchair shopping cart taken from a Wal-Mart.

The Muskegon Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1wgjeQT ) says police located 46-year-old Shirley Mason about 2 miles away, riding the cart with $600 in clothing.

A customer called police Monday night to report someone riding a shopping cart from the lot at the store in Muskegon County’s Fruitport Township.

Police say Mason told them she couldn’t find anyone to pick her up from the store and took the wheelchair cart “because she didn’t feel like walking.”

Authorities say Mason told officers she planned to sell the clothing.

Mason is charged with organized retail crime and has a probable cause hearing Sept. 23.

Mason doesn’t have a listed phone number.

Police: Mom and DAughter caught shoplifting

HOOSICK — State Police say a mother and her 23-year-old daughter were caught shoplifting from a supermarket. Vicki Meyers, 43, and her daughter Toni were allegedly seen by employees taking items at a TOPS supermarket and hiding them in their purses. According to authorities, they left the store with more than $70.00 worth of merchandise. The pair have both been charged with petit larceny.

Teacher accused of shoplifting using child

Wesley Chapel, Florida — A Pasco County teacher has resigned from her position, accused of shoplifting and using her young daughter to hide the stolen electronics.

Friday, parents are in shock that a trusted middle school science teacher sits behind bars.

Investigators say Amanda Hammon took her three-year-old on the shoplifting spree and had the child carry her backpack stuffed with the stolen goods from a Walmart in Wesley Chapel.

Hammon was a teacher at John Long Middle School in Wesley Chapel, and now, she’s a Pasco inmate without a job.

Investigators say this wasn’t just a one-time crime. In the past week, the middle school science teacher is accused of stealing electronics from Walmart four times with her daughter in tow.

Arrest records show Hammon confessed she’s been shoplifting to support her drug habit.

What Works Best- Loss Prevention Training

September 18, 2014 by
There are many different kinds of loss prevention training. Some are focused on shoplifting identification and shoplifting prevention. Other loss prevention training is centered on employee theft. Still others revolve around general store safety and operational best practices. Each focus can be the cause of major financial staring on small retailers.
When you understand what your store specific concerns are, it is easier to find a loss prevention workshop that will fit your needs. Why would you and your employees want to waste your time in loss prevention seminars that are too generalized or do not focus enough on your particular problems or worries?
The smart decision is to work with the training facilitators to make sure they understand exactly what your expectations are. There is no point in spending your time and your hard earned money on loss prevention training that will not produce a return on your investment later on.
One of the most commonly sought after loss prevention seminars are ones that focus on shoplifting. Regardless of your location, client base and product assortment, shoplifting can happen to you. Because of the frequency, these seminars are best suited for a wide array of retailers. Most shoplifters exhibit the same basic strategies and methods. The prevention tactics therefore are equally as universal as the crimes they are deterring and eliminating.

Beyond an EAS System- Loss Prevention Workshop

September 11, 2014 by
If you have a shoplifting problem in your store the obvious solution is to run out and invest in an EAS system, or similar retail theft prevention. EAS systems are a significant financial investment, one that will pay off over time, but may cause an immediate strain on some small business finances.
EAS systems are also not an immediate fix. You have to decide which system you want, have it installed and then EAS tag or label your inventory. Again, an extremely effective and worthwhile investment, but what do you do in the mean time?
Look into taking a loss prevention workshop for additional loss prevention training.
Sometimes the best solution is the most obvious solution. A loss prevention workshop can give you tips and tricks to mitigate some of your losses (for free) while you coordinate your efforts to install an EAS system.
One of the tips to stop shoplifting is to look at remerchandising some of the more desirable products within your store. Do you have small, high theft items on a shelf location in the middle of your store? Why not move them closer to the POS system? These items will have a better chance of being continually monitored, and anyone who picks one up can easily and immediately pay for it.
