The shoplifting prevention class is designed for business owners and retail workers. Topics to be covered include shoplifting related laws, owner rights, police officer procedures, methods and tools used by shoplifters, how to detain a shoplifter and prevention. Shoplifting statistics for our area will also be presented.
Nationally, less than 4% of the billions of dollars lost each year to shoplifters is recovered. In fact, it is estimated that for every one dollar that is recovered, over $27.00 is lost due to retail theft.
The Business Watch Program was started by the SPD in 2006. The main component of the program is a system for timely communication between businesses in the event that a shoplifting, robbery or other crime occurs.
