As we continue our series on the 10 Commandments of a Retail Loss Prevention Agent, this episode drives home the importance of always maintaining your integrity. Loss Prevention personnel are probably regarded as the most honest people in the organization in most places of business and we must not disappoint our Executives, our clients, or our peers in this area.

Never Compromise Your Integrity!

Your integrity is the backbone of your character and if you don’t think character counts in this line of work then you’re not gonna’ last long!

Listen as I introduce the “Marlboro Man” (Cigarette Thief) in this episode who was a big-shot bodyguard for a well-known Hollywood actor. Marlboro Man has a lot of problems in his life besides being a thief so he offers me a tempting bribe in exchange for his freedom!

Find out how it unfolds in this fourth episode of the 10 Commandments of a Retail Loss Prevention Agent.

Listen to this episode as I recollect two very real examples of foot pursuits and the unexpected ways they can go down. You’ll meet The Gazelle and The Linebacker in this episode…both very unique suspects who ran from their crimes. The Gazelle will have you laughing in a flash…but The Linebacker will throw you right back into the danger of pursuing theft suspects beyond your scope of duty!
