Protect Assets Strategy

I saw a video of a deaf guy getting literally choked by a security guard/shoplifting prevention guy from a Forever XXI store in California because he had walked out of the store and the shoplifting alarm had sounded and he couldn’t hear it. The guy thought he was shoplifting and tackled him and put him in a chokehold.

In the video, there are a lot of people watching but not helping because they’re apparently afraid to intervene because they’re afraid that the guy is an actual cop that could arrest them. If people had ran to the guy’s defense and pulled the mall cop guy off the deaf guy, could they themselves have gotten into legal trouble?

private security has citizen’s arrest authority, nothing more; if no crime has been committed, they (private security) are subject to prosecution and civil suit

a citizen helping a security guard make an illegal arrest is also subject to prosecution and civil suit; a citizen intervening in a lawful citizen’s arrest is subject to prosecution and civil suit

well I’m interested in working for Loss prevention but I’m not sure how I should get started. I live in Illinois. If there’s anyone here who works this position then can you please tell me how you got started and how is the job like. what are the requirements stores look for? where else could they work besides retail stores, if any place else? do i need a degree to be hired? Whats the job like? how much is their income approximately?

i don’t have any experience with the law field, will that affect me in getting this job? will i get fired if a thief gets away if i tried stopping him but couldn’t? also im A small girl will my coworkers pick on me or make me feel intimidated because im a girl doing a usual mans job and im short (5′1") haha but pretty strong, should i even consider a loss prevention agent job? because i heard its dangerous i dont know if thats true. will i get stabbed or shot at? i know bad situations like that happen, im somewhat afraid but the job seems fun.

so i would really appreciate good help you could give me. sorry if i seemed to ask a lot of questions i would just like to learn more about the loss prevention field.

It’s better to apply for a position with a larger outfit that contracts with corporate stores. Like Securias. Check your phone book for security service and send out resumes. They use a mixture of uniformed officers and plain clothed people. For the latter, a variety of looks is needed. They’ll give you handcuffs and a badge, if local laws allow you may also get pepper spray and/or a taser. It just depends.

Because it’s not an asset to look like security, your look may be an asset. I have a great friend who landed a plain clothed job with no experience. He’s 6" and barely 130lbs. He does shockingly well.

An average store will see about 5 shoplifters a day. A good average caught is 1 a day between a team. If they run, or in any case, you call the police. It’s not great if they get away, but it’s not earth shattering. You aren’t expected to risk your life for what may be less than $5.

The education needed in usually non-existent. The pay isn’t great. It isn’t a bad career to have, the pay and the jobs get better. You won’t get rich though!

The worst part of the job for my friend is the downtime. He spends 8 hours EVERYDAY, mostly in the evening, in a grocery store. To catch maybe 1 person. Nordstrom’s also uses plain clothed security as part of their deal, but all they do is report to a big guy with a gun who’s attached to the store itself. Trying on shoes in clothes you like all day and never being at risk isn’t the worst way to spend your life. But like I said, you have to work your way up to a sweet job like that.

EDIT: I forgot to say that my friend does actually enjoy the chase and tackle. He has fantastic work stories and is always disappointed if he didn’t catch anyone. He’s also always looking for criminals now. The other day at dinner, someone tried a dine-and-dash, the waitress ran after the couple. He jumped out of the booth and chased them down, caught the guy and handcuffed him! It was pretty great.

I am so stumped and can’t think of how to start my paper off. I am feeling a little overwhelmed,maybe because I’m tired and pregnant but I am trying to get with it for the final weeks of these class. This paper is for my class "Private security" I would appreciate any input. Thank you in advance.

asset protection is important because if employees are allowed to walk out with company equipment, then the company could stand to lose a lot, especially if there isn’t a means to keep track of these assets.

After searching for the asset protection strategies, I got a useful source that provides the required information for better protection of my assets. You can also utilise their knowledge and experience.

Okay I looked up what jobs are available at a Best Buy near me and the only one that I could actually apply for is the asset protection Job because I am 16. Im just wondering if I take this job will i regret it? im in school and in the school year i could work saturdays and probably another week day. In the summer i could work 6 days a week. What is this job and would i regret doing it or will it be horrible. I also like to work with computers btw.

Before you apply for the position, give the company a call.
Ask them to explain specifically what it is they do. If you
hear something you might not like, then apply somewhere
else. It’s best to get all the information before you apply,
that way if you get an interview you won’t back down which
would waste the employer’s time.
