Loss Prevention

Our Loss Prevention expert was a Metropolitan Police Officer for 26 years and was a highly qualified and experienced Crime Prevention Officer, who devised Crime Reduction strategies for the Business Community in East London. His advice very often will differ quite considerably from other Security Consultants in that it is based on a combination of his knowledge of offenders, his specialist training and his experience acquired over decades of investigating and more importantly, preventing crime.

Shoplifting and Theft committed by Employees present the by far the highest risks to most retail businesses in the UK. Burglary and Arson are also serious threats to any business ansd all these issues are most commonly addressed by the use of CCTV. However we often buy CCTV systems because they are familiar to us or because of the inflated claims made by a salesmen.

Our Advisor says..

"There are around 4.2 million CCTV cameras in the UK. I have seen no evidence to suggest they deter the majority of potential offenders.Around 85% of the criminals I have interviewed state they are not bothered whether or not a business has CCTV.

Through interviewing criminals and working with ex-offenders to understand how and why they choose their targets,I am able to 'look through the eyes of a criminal' when assessing the security of any building or business. Adopting this method also normally allows me to find simple solutions to increase security without having to recommend expensive security systems."
