Security guard shares effective anti-shoplifting tactics
Original: ‘I introduce myself to anyone who looks a bit jumpy’: a security guard’s take on anti-shoplifting fixes By George Bass A
A professional security guard, writing for The Guardian, explains which anti-shoplifting measures actually work in retail. His approach starts with empathy: he introduces himself to shoppers who seem nervous, defusing situations before they escalate. Alongside the human touch, he points to hi-tech cameras as part of the trade's toolkit. The piece offers a ground-level view as retailers grapple with rising theft concerns.
Why now: Retailers are under pressure over shoplifting, and a guard's insider perspective on what actually works is drawing interest.
