I work in loss prevention for a large retailer in the mid west. This isnt the most common (the most common is whoever your largest customer demographic is) but I see this at least once a month in the fall and spring. It still happens
It was faked, it was just to show the audience a sample of what loss prevention does. Thieves in reality are a lot trickier to catch than that. That's why they have undercover LP.
I work at Walmart loss prevention and u can see one third of the way in the changing room from above from the cameras, that how we cought alot of thieves!
Lier!! You do know a lot of people who actually do work are Walmart loss prevention will read this and no you are lieing. Walmart would get shut down so fast if that were true. They could get by with man handling a thieves but not for putting cameras anywhere near a dressing room inside
I call BS. They don't even allow cameras near those areas. I've worked in the field. We have inspectors that make sure businesses are compliant with law.
Resurrecting a 2 year old comment. Did you ever get into LP? It's a great field to work in. Look up shoplifting ring busts. You can actually get to work with PD and FBI to investigate organized retail crime. I've seen busts with more than $2,000,000 worth of stolen merchandise. On top of investigating credit card, receipt, and check fraud.
It depends, you can make tons of money if you actually get into higher LP positions. You won't make a living being regular undercover or uniform lp. But work your way up the chain of command. You'll need higher education though if you plan to become an LP supervisor or assistant supervisor. I got certified in private investigations with a 4.0 QPA. So I'm able to. If you want LP as a career, study private investigations or take loss prevention manager certifications online. And have at least 1 year of LP experience as well.
Depends on what you mean. Regular LP probably won't make a good living. LP supervisors/directors/assistant managers can make a living. If you want LP as a career, you need to be a Loss Prevention Director and lead the operation.
Loss Prevention is far more fun and interesting of a job than security guard jobs. You can investigate organized retail crime, fraud, and regular larceny. And work with not just police, but FBI as well since they commonly rely on Loss Prevention for assistance in catching people for fraud and shoplifting rings. It's a pretty neat job actually. We also have market investigators which are the highest level of Loss Prevention. They are private investigators that actually track down thieves and locate illegal shoplifting ring stores so FBI and regular local police can raid them and seize all of the merchandise.
ReviewsTechNow you do know that for some poor people $15hr is way more than what they ever expected to get payed... Theres nothing wrong with them being happy with their pay..
Fuentes...what are you talking about? A Loss Prevention Officer is the one that detains shoplifters to include using force. Most times a Security Guard working retail is only there to observe and report and is not allowed per policy to touch anybody. Security Guards at other types of "posts" may have in their post directives the ability to detain folks for other crimes. In regards to shoplifting it is rare that a Security Guard goes "Hands On" with a shoplifter or even attempt to detain one...that is left to Loss Prevention Officers or Asset Protection folks!
Security and Loss Prevention are completely different titles. Security officers enforce rules and maintain public safety. Loss Prevention are store detectives that investigate and hunt down organized retail crime, fraud, and larcenists. People commonly confuse them, but their functions are very different.
Loss prevention and security guards are two different fields. One observes and reports crimes, and deters crime through a uniformed presence. The other goes undercover and intercepts shoplifters, investigates return fraud, and fires internal employees for theft.
...booooooo...no man is walking in with a hoodie
looking around suspiciously to steal 2 nail Polish bottles.
😂 so fake
You’d be amazed.

I've seen a very good share of crooked LP agents including managers in my younger years of doing this.
Though this video is hella old its helped a decent amount to understand what an LPO really does.
You can tell he fancy that girl. She's cute as hell too.

@Christopher Cravens They will get the shit sued out of them for it. Even if someone is stealing.
This job would almost be tempting. A change from I.T.

So true! I did this a long time ago. This job is good for kids in their 20's I'd say.

Loss prevention pays very well

loss prevention makes the customers the enemy
The only person who would make such an ignorant, uneducated statement is unreasonable at best, and a thief at worst.
loss prevention people are losers protecting scraps for billionares while getting paid scraps
Paul you're an idiot customers are not there the enemy it is thieves
xXSgtWolfXx well said.

That loss prevention guy is a hottie

+Vili M Not sure as I'm in a different country but based on what they get here in the U.K., it's not a lot of change from your average wage!

I'm doing a security course he should by rights wearing a security licence by law.
Ethan Barry what?.. No. Your jobs are different.. They report shoplifters they cant touch them.. Security guards can hold shoplifters /detained them
Fuentes...what are you talking about? A Loss Prevention Officer is the one that detains shoplifters to include using force.
