Shoplifting Policy

This loss prevention policy app is intended to provide management with information on developing a written loss prevention and shoplifting policy. When someone is accused of shoplifting in a store, it's important that specific steps are followed. Shoplifting laws were designed to help prevent cases of false arrest and false imprisonment charges due to an employee trying to handle a suspect themselves. When a person is suspected of shoplifting, it is imperative that the employee take the proper steps to handle it, including contacting law enforcement and notifying them about the theft of property. This app helps store managers develop a clear plan for what to do when a shopper is caught shoplifting or when retail theft is suspected. It can also be helpful in shoplifting prevention by providing clear guidelines to employees about what to look for when they see a suspicious person in the store.
