The Career Opportunities in the Retail Loss Prevention Sector is without doubt greater than ever before. In 2000 it was estimated that Canadian retailers lost more than 3.1 billion dollars to retail shrinkage. Today that figure has drastically increased. With more than 218,00 retail businesses throughout Canada, and more than 1 million retail establishments in the USA, most of which suffer substantial retail losses there is an incredible potential for a lucrative business opportunity. Research in 2006 indicated that on average a retail business lost between 1/2% and 6% of it's gross sales to Crimes Against Merchants, with shoplifting and internal theft causing the greatest losses. With the recent global economic crisis these figures have drastically increased. They are now estimated to be between 1% and 8% of sales. Some studies now indicate that these figures under estimate the actual losses and losses may be as high as 12% of annual sales. Statistics also show that shoplifting has doubled since 2000. Making it the number one property crime according to the RCMP. Even retail outlets with sophisticated surveillance systems are suffering significant losses because many experienced thieves have discovered how to outsmart these systems. (For example EAS security systems are estimated to only reduce shoplifting by approximately sixty percent.)
It is important to note that due to budgetary cuts many local police departments no longer have the manpower or financial resources to effectively educate merchants and their employees in merchant crime prevention. Usually these law enforcement agencies view retail crimes as a low priority.
One of the key reasons that retailers lose profits to retail shrinkage such as shoplifting is that many store owners and managers are unaware of simple preventative methods that can drastically reduce losses. Another reason is that many staff members are inadequately trained in shoplift prevention and detection. In fact many employees tell us that they will actually look the other way when they see a shoplifting incident in progress because they are too apprehensive about dealing with a shoplifter. Most police agencies as well as experts in the retail loss prevention field agree that training and prevention is the most cost effective method of dealing with this ongoing problem.
Due to these factors we for the first time decided to offer business opportunities in the Retail Loss Prevention field for those interested in distributing our Training Programs. We are highly confident that the potential in this field is unlimited. If you are looking for a career change or perhaps even a method of increasing your income on a part time level, we highly recommend that you consider this field and the amazing untapped opportunity.
