2019 is in high gear, and we're just getting started. Let LPM help you find your next networking opportunity, retail technology expo, or training course.

The Loss Prevention Foundation has recently announced a new partnership with the University of Florida that aims to benefit UF students and the loss prevention/asset protection community.

The first full day of the conference, February 26, kicked off with a keynote speech by Dwayne MacIntosh, director of safety and security at Toronto Pearson International Airport, which handles 50 million passengers yearly.

Solutions to address theft and loss are often led from the retailer side of the partnership, but manufacturers do face responsibilities when it comes to product protection. From manufacturer to retailer, product protection is everyone's job.

Despite the evolution of the LP industry, it remains a predominantly male environment. Why aren't there more women in loss prevention? Editorial Director Jac Brittain, LPC, decided to find out.

Once you have senior leadership's buy-in, you can then create accountability for controlling loss beyond the LP team. The best place for accountability is in your company's performance reviews.

"Partnerships are best when you create solutions without limitations. We should always try to go above and beyond."

"I find it admirable when people in leadership roles aren't afraid to ask questions, get hands-on with their teams to work on new innovation, or step out of their comfort zones to see how new technology or automation can impact the business in a digital world"

Choosing to show restraint, to allow a shoplifter walk away, and to accept the outcome of loss is a tough decision for an LP professional to make—especially when you're faced with insults, threats, or simply frustration at the perceived injustice.
