Podcast about Convenience Store Loss Prevention and SecurityTweet This Convenience Store Security and Loss Prevention Convenience store security store design, including crime risk analysis. A well-lighted exterior and highly-visible store interior are beneficial. Use security hardware and equipment to support design flaws. Liberal use of cash policy signs and decals for robbery prevention. Hire employees who are honest, capable, and accountable. Not all new hires have the dexterity, speed, and accuracy for c-stores. Train with clearly defined and articulated procedures. Insist that every shift employee follows identical procedures. Audit some product or procedure every shift, every day.
