Loss Prevention

Loss prevention is part deterrent, part investigation, part data analysis. Our LP officers run plain-clothes and uniformed deployments depending on the shrink profile, build relationships with the operations team, and turn raw incident data into shrink analytics that justify the program to your finance lead.
