Library theft detection systems do not need to rely on integration into an electronic or digital check out system to be effective. These are systems that can run independently. This way, regardless of whether your library is highly digitized, or is still doing paper and stamp checkouts, you don’t have to sit idly by without any library theft prevention.
Since you can run Checkpoint systems on it’s own, you eliminate the expense of having to add more complicated total library integration. This is where the biggest cost savings occurs. Larger, or more well funded libraries might push the benefits of using technology that fully integrates library theft prevention with their inventory and asset tracking, as well as through the patron check in and check out process.
Even though these are all great and important features to have, they are not a necessity to be effective. Don’t let the size of your funding prevent your library from putting an end to missing magazines and resource materials.
It is easy to let the comparatively minimal investment in Checkpoint Systems work for you. It is one system to use, and one system to maintain. If there is ever damage or other issue with the library theft detection system, you do not risk the entire library operations shutting down in the process.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase Library Theft Detection System devices and your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system from Checkpoint Systems to stop inventory losses.

Power tools are a good example of an item that does not need to be sold new in box. Unlike other merchandise that is more desirable if it is resold as new in box, power tools are an easier sell without the original packaging. As such, retail anti theft devices (designed to prevent shoplifting of power tools) need to keep the tools intact in their boxes.
The Alpha Spider Wrap is designed to keep power tools in their boxes. This makes them harder to steal. A large box is more obvious walking out a door, than a power tool tucked inside of a coat. The Alpha Security Alpha Spider Wrap has a cross band of wires that wrap around the box, securing the tool inside of the packaging.
If the wires are cut to eliminate the tools packaging, an audible alarm is activated, alerting everyone around that the box is being tampered with. Because of the advanced technology in these retail anti theft devices, store employees are aware of a possible theft attempt before the merchandise is on its way out the door. This early warning makes it infinitely easier to prevent shoplifting in progress.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store for Alpha 2Alarm, Alpha 3Alarm, Alpha Fashion2, Alpha Jewel Lok, Alpha Nano Gate, Alpha Shark Tag, Alpha Spider Wrap and other retail anti-theft devices from Alpha Security to use in conjunction with your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system that can help you prevent shoplifting in your business.

Employee background checks are one of many steps that should be taken to qualify a potential job applicant before they are hired. Hiring employees who exhibit strength in skills, or experience, or judgment will provide far better results than the employee who simply does not have any glaring reasons not to hire them. Pre employment screening, when done correctly, should differentiate between employees who have a history of being successful employees and those that have been hired because they simply lack a noticeable weakness.
Showing a lack of weaknesses is not the same as showing strength. Being able to discern the difference between the two will benefit your company by hiring those that make your company stronger individually and as a whole. Employee background checks facilitate hiring the best potential candidate after the initial pre employment screening is conducted.
Some ways to tell the difference is to ask more in depth, open-ended questions during the interviews. They should have experience in handling and diffusing customer complaints, and how to not make customers upset in the first place.
Employees should also be able to work with minimal supervision. An employee who has to be constantly monitored will only waste your time and resources in the long run. You will waste your time not only by needing to provide constant direction, but also in the time it takes to follow up on every assigned task. The amount of productive time used fulfilling such a pattern could be more wisely spent if a more motivated candidate was hired initially.

One of the most effective leads to follow when creating an employee theft investigation is ones that come directly from employees. Employees are more likely than you or a manager to see what their co-workers are doing. They can tell if they work hard when you are and are not around. They might also know more about an employee’s personal issues like a financial hardship.
As a result, your employees might be more likely to notice employee theft before you will. Unfortunately employee theft tips are hard to generate.
The employees do not want to feel like they are giving bad information about someone. As such, they need to have absolute faith in you- faith that they can trust you and you will keep their confidence and not make them out to be a tattle -tale later on.
One way to help facilitate this garnering of information is to find a way to allow the employees to remain anonymous when they disseminate the information to you. If you have the resources to set up a phone number that allows for anonymous reports, that is one of the best ways to set up a way for employees to leave their tips.
Another way is to create a locked box in a break room, or attached to a manager’s office. It can be labeled as a suggestion box, as long as employees are aware that employee theft tips can be left there too. Lastly, nothing else compares to having employees trust you enough to tell you directly what is going on. The more you instill trust and confidence in your employees, the more likely they will be to come to you with their suspicions.

Having turnstiles and gates at exit and entrance doors is a useful way to reduce shoplifting. In some cases it actually enhances the effectiveness of bottle locks used to reduce shoplifting losses in liquor stores.
What a turnstile does is slow down the flow of traffic. When shoplifters are exiting the store, they cannot leave quickly. Groups of shoplifters also cannot leave all at once. A turnstile forces them to leave one at a time, in a single file line.
The turnstile and gate slows them down long enough for employees to catch up with them. In particular, if they are stealing bottles that use alarm embedded bottle locks, such as Alpha Security EASy Bottle locks.
Without a turnstile, groups of shoplifters could bolt out the door setting the alarm off as they exit. Employees, who are not aware of what is going on, might only have a few seconds to react. This is not enough time to do anything to stop the situation.
With a turnstile in place, the first shoplifter will set off the alarm, and might get away. However, because the rest of the shoplifters are forced to wait in line, employees have a better chance of recovering stolen merchandise or apprehending some of the last group members attempting to get out the door. The first shoplifter turns into a warning for the last shoplifters in line.

Security tags on clothes will deter many potential shoplifters from stealing. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of shoplifters out there who will try to find a way to work around them. One of the most common methods is to take clothing into a fitting room. There, the shoplifters can bide some time as they try to figure out how to disable or eliminate clothing security tags.
Since it is inappropriate for a store to do anything to compromise a customer’s right to privacy in a fitting room, many traditional clothing security tools used to view what is going on are rendered useless. The next best thing is to use your ears.
Did you know that shoplifters in a fitting room make different sounds than shoppers in a fitting room? It’s true. A shoplifter will be quiet, very quiet. They are spending more time trying to hear who is outside the fitting room.
As they are sliding clothing off of the hangers as quietly and discreetly as possible, they are attempting not to draw any attention to themselves. There might be a distinct snapping sound as they pull price tags off of the clothing. Generally there will be long pauses of silence in between their actions, as they listen to see if someone is aware of what they are doing.
If you or your employees start to hear these sounds, offer customer assistance. Better yet, use clothing security to keep them out of the fitting rooms before hand. Keep the doors locked, keep the rooms cleaned out after each customer is done, and set a limit on how many items can be brought in.
