Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between uniformed and plain-clothes loss prevention officers?
Uniformed officers provide a visible deterrent at entries and across the shop floor, discouraging theft before it happens. Plain-clothes officers blend in with shoppers to detect concealment and organised theft in progress. Many retailers use both, and we recommend the right mix based on your store layout and shrinkage patterns.
Can loss prevention officers detain a shoplifter?
Our officers act within the law and your store policy. Where an offence has been witnessed, they may make a lawful apprehension and detain the person for police, following correct procedure. Every apprehension is fully documented and handled to minimise risk to staff, customers and your business.
How do loss prevention officers reduce shrinkage?
Officers deter and detect external theft, but they also help identify internal loss, process gaps and high-risk product lines. We provide written reports on incidents and trends so you can target the causes of shrinkage, not just react to individual events.
Do your officers work with NSW Police?
Yes. When an apprehension is made, our officers follow correct procedure, secure evidence and CCTV, and hand the matter to NSW Police. They provide clear statements and documentation to support any prosecution, so your store is well represented if the matter proceeds.
