The Camera Never Lies

Retailers, from grocery stores to restaurants face an on-going challenge when it comes to protecting their merchandise and personal property. Sources of risk come in the form of vandalism, errors, accidents and theft by employees, errors, shoplifters and many more. In addition to the risk of actual inventory loss, other risks, namely exposure to civil litigation, lurk around every corner.

The Ultimate Deterrent

Surveillance systems, commonly referred to as security cameras, are the most powerful tool available to business owners for loss prevention. Smart business owners, for years, have been taking advantage of surveillance technology such as closed circuit television cameras and deploying them so that their customers, and employees know there are silent witnesses on guard at their stores at all times. Of all loss prevention methods available, surveillance ranks #1 because it provides pro-active and re-active benefits. It serves as a deterrent to crime, can assist in witnessing a crime, and provides historical documentation that can assist in identifying a criminal element or for record keeping.

Prevention is the Solution

It is a proven fact that honest people can become dishonest over time. Proper surveillance measures can help you keep your honest people, honest. In addition to surveillance, business owners must also consider following general strategies:

• Never hire an employee on the basis of their appearance or unverified background.
• Write out your expectations of performance and rules, and share them with your employees.
• Employees do what you inspect, not what we expect. Know what your employees are doing and keep an eye on them. When you are not physically present at your store, it makes sense to remotely monitor your store briefly from time to time.
• Your employees have feelings too. Treat them the way you want to be treated.
• Keep high-priced inventory locked and only allow access to one (or few) trusted employee(s).
• At the end of day, count your inventory and ensure that there are no missing items.
