Professional excellence requires dedication and responsibility, and is something that the best continuously strive to achieve. In order to maximize potential, it is therefore essential that professional development is seen as an ongoing process. We should always be looking for ways to improve our skills, abilities, and base of knowledge as a means to maximize performance. Loss prevention certification is a means of establishing and validating that standard of excellence.
The Loss Prevention Foundation celebrates the Certified LP professional
We are pleased to recognize and congratulate two industry leaders who recently obtained their LPC certification. Despite their demanding schedules and having other impressive educational credentials, these leaders still saw the value and took the time to obtain the industry-leading LPC credential.
In order to achieve the highest standards of excellence, loss prevention professionals must embrace the importance of continuing education as a gateway to higher performance and achievement within the profession. The best way to invest in our future is to invest in ourselves, and each of us holds the responsibility to maximize our talents and abilities to best serve our professional ambitions.
Wayne McBrian, LPC, Retired OVP of Loss Prevention at Brookstone Stores
This program is not a weekend exercise, but a journey and commitment to education. The certification process reaffirms your loss prevention knowledge and enlightens you in areas where you’ve been less involved.
Well worth the time.

The retail industry is extremely competitive, and loss prevention has become an integral component of a successful retail model. In order to remain successful our professional competencies must include flexibility, strong problem-solving and decision making skills, a superior knowledge base, and an ability to effectively apply our knowledge and experience to the diverse situations that we face on a day-to-day basis.
It is our responsibility to manage the process; driven by individual learning experiences and carrying a personal signature for success. Continuing education, training and skills development, lifelong learning activities, intellectual nourishment and exposure to new ideas all contribute to that plan. Are you taking the necessary steps?
