Loss Prevention

Retail loss prevention involves many activities, functions and programs designed to reduce a retailer’s loss due to theft, control deficiencies and operating inefficiencies. The Target Security Retail Loss Prevention Program serves forward-thinking retail clients in the control of losses and business risks associated with external shrink.

Shoplifting is a major contributor to shrink and successful retailers must take reasonable steps to protect merchandise from theft via shoplifting to remain successful. The more effective these measures are, the more likely the retailer will be able to deliver product to their customers at the lowest possible price and improve their profitability and competitiveness in the market place.

The current focus of this program is to effectively, and more efficiently, reduce the occurrence of shoplifting, without creating unnecessary liability or disruption to the business of our clients. Our clients tell us that one of the primary reasons they outsource their store-level loss prevention program is that the time they used to spend recruiting, training and supervising can now be used for more critical loss prevention functions and business initiatives. They also benefit from having a recognized industry leader deliver a level of unsurpassed service and competence in this specialized field — often at a financial saving.
