Retail crime is not only a theft problem. It is a people, process, design, evidence, and recovery problem.
Crime Survival Playbook gives Canadian small business owners and retail managers a practical system for reducing preventable loss without turning employees into security guards.
Inside, you will learn how to:
- Identify the risks that actually affect your store
- Reduce theft opportunities through better layout and routines
- Protect employees and customers without unsafe confrontation
- Improve camera, access-control, and evidence practices
- Respond to shoplifting, robbery, weapons, and aggressive behaviour
- Strengthen opening, closing, lone-work, and delivery procedures
- Document incidents properly and preserve useful evidence
- Evaluate professional security services and vendors
- Build a practical 30-day security improvement plan
The book also includes practical worksheets, checklists, an incident report template, an employee quick-reference card, emergency contact tools, a vendor-evaluation worksheet, a monthly security dashboard, and a 50-point retail security audit.
Written for Canadian retailers, independent store owners, managers, and operators who want practical security measures that protect people, reduce loss, and strengthen day-to-day operations.
Protect your people. Protect your store. Protect your profits.
