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

March 11, 2009 - PRLog -- 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.
