TECHNIQUES ARE AVAILABLE FOR REDUCING THE LOSS FROM THEFT OFFENSES, A WELL-THOUGHT-OUT OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE FOR SECURITY OFFICERS IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE.
Abstract
MUCH EMPLOYEE THEFT OCCURS IN AND AROUND GARBAGE AND WASTE COLLECTION AREAS. GOOD SECURITY REQUIRES CAREFUL SURVEILLANCE OF TRASH REMOVAL PERSONNEL AND PROCEDURES. ALL THREE TYPES OF THEFT DISCUSSED IN THIS FILM CAN OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THREE FACTORS: DISHONESTY, CONFUSION, AND COOPERATION BETWEEN EMPLOYEES. WHILE SECURITY OFFICERS CANNOT CONTROL FOR DISHONESTY, THEY USUALLY CAN COPE WITH CONFUSION AND COOPERATION IF THEY KEEP THEIR WITS ABOUT THEM. THE VALUE OF UNDERCOVER SECURITY AGENTS IS UNDERSCORED. A DISCUSSION GUIDE IS INCLUDED. SEE ALSO NCJ-32868 THROUGH 32871, 32873, AND NCJ-32874.
