Tools You Know

When you look at common tactics for retail theft prevention, you might only think of a few ways. Customer service has and always will be the number one theft deterrent in retail stores. When it comes to anti shoplifting tools and resources, the list is actually as varied, as there are methods to steal.

 Checkpoint security systems can start with their integrated use of towers, antennas, and checkpoint security tags. Tags and labels are placed on merchandise, some are visible, and some are concealed. When they come within the RF field generated by the towers, an audible alarm sounds. This notifies associates to respond with customer service to deactivate purchased merchandise.

 Checkpoint security systems go beyond just the use of Checkpoint security tags and labels. They have electronic and digital recording devices for camera systems. Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) systems can also provide a deterrent, as anyone who enters a store knows their actions are being filmed and recorded. Note that some states do require signage on the front of your store stating that recording device is in use.

In conjunction with your CCTV, Checkpoint systems also have public view monitors. Public view monitors (PVM) are screens that can be placed in high theft areas that show what the camera in that area is recording. It reinforces the message that a retailer is aware of theft in that area and is doing something about it.

Checkpoint does a nice job of staying on top of current theft trends. They are constantly coming out with new anti shoplifting devices.
