An eye for detail - John Alele writes on 'shoplifting'

Shoplifting, loss or “shrinkage” as it is often called in the retail world cost retailers millions of pounds every year.

Shop owners or retailers employ security personnel to act as a deterrent to shoplifters in an attempt to reduce loss but with a cloudburst of so many unskilled security personnel in the industry today, shop owners have realised that it is indeed a different ball game entirely to get their hands on the standard of service they anticipate.

In my endless effort to finding a permanent solution to tackling the quandary of shoplifting, I observed different security personnel at work at different retail outlets around the country.

On one occasion, I observed a shopper wearing a pair of blue denim trousers, a white shirt, and a black jacket and holding a few shop items in his hands, he walks into the changing room past the security guard standing at the entrance of the room and a few minutes later, emerges, walks past the same security guard and through the main manned exit doors of the shop into the streets wearing a pair of blue denim trousers, a white shirt and a dark navy blue jacket.

In the retail world, this kind of act of a shoplifter is referred to as ‘The Switch’.

This retailer would have well been saved the cost of a navy blue jacket if only his security personnel have an eye for detail.Yes, that’s right; good security personnel must have an eye for detail! A key skill requirement necessary to combat the ever rising problem of shoplifting in today’s retail industry.

Some people may ask when I set myself up as an authority in retail security but if you are looking for high quality security and not just a man in uniform, then you must go to the security company that carries out researches and develops skills for your ultimate security benefit.
