When I first started out in loss prevention well over thirty years ago, there were very different concerns. I remember my first review of standards involved my closure and reduction of check fraud. Check fraud! Who even writes checks anymore, much less steals them? Criminals have moved on to far more sophisticated forms of theft and fraud than stealing or forging checks.
My point is that things change. Technology has changed, the methods of shoplifting and not to mention employee theft, have changed. If I was still working under the “rules” of a decade ago, I would not be successful in reducing my shrink, and I would probably have gotten myself and my employers into some pretty bad litigation.
It is important for my success to continue to educate myself on these changes. That is the only way I can make sure that when I do my loss prevention training, I know I am ahead of the game.
Most professional industries have some sort of continuing education or certification to stay employed in their respective fields. Why would loss prevention be any different?
With the wealth of knowledge and information available through loss prevention seminars and loss prevention workshops, it is a no brainer. Sign up for a class, grab a buddy or two and learn what else is out there.
