When you spend a career in retail investigations, it is easy to sometimes forget how little you knew at the beginning. I remember several instances of employee theft where not only was I sure that someone was stealing, but that they should be sent straight to jail for their crimes.
It was only because I had the luxury of some really good mentors that helped me through the process, that I didn’t make some egregious errors.
I know now that some of my decisions, while they may have been with good intentions, would have put my employers at risk. It took someone with years of experience and knowledge to show me the right way to conduct an investigation. I was also shown the ethical and legal way to deal with those outcomes.
I feel for those who don’t have a mentor to help them through the processes. I guess that is why it is important to take part in loss prevention seminars that deal with employee theft.
By getting some much needed loss prevention training, you and your company can limit your risks associated with conducting a thorough employee theft investigation. It can also help you understand the risks, and benefits associated with terminating and prosecuting that employee upon conclusion of the investigation.
