Apprehending the Internal Thief Security Today (08/01/14) Jensen, Ralph C. Shoplifting by employees is an ongoing problem, according to a report from Jack L. Hayes International. The report found that a total of 1.1 million total shoplifters and dishonest employees were caught in 2013 at the nations largest retailers, and that the number of dishonest employees who were caught stealing from their employers rose 6.5 percent to 78,000. “What also is of importance is these increases follow similar increases reported the previous two years,” said Mark R. Doyle, the president of Jack L. Hayes International. Some retailers are combating the problem through the use of smart devices such as cameras. Catching a shoplifter on camera is arguably one of the best ways to let loss prevention officers know the extent of the problem they are dealing with. These systems also act as deterrence mechanisms.
