Shoplifting
Thieves may use busy periods or less visible parts of a store to take goods. A security presence can help staff stay aware of activity on the sales floor.
Retail theft can affect stock, staff, and the way your store runs each day. East Kootenay Security provides practical loss prevention support for Hazelton retailers, with a focus on store activity, customer areas, stock, and the points where theft risk is highest.
