Hopefully, today's post will not come off as too much of a sales pitch for this company. I have no financial relationship with them however, have know the principal owners for a long period of time. One of the fundamentals of Loss Prevention is the ability to extract information and admissions from employees and often customers, i.e. shoplifters.
Some Loss Prevention professionals received training in the military and others need an avenue to learn the fundamentals of how to interview and interrogate individuals. The intent here is to not compare the "styles" and obviously techniques used in the military would not apply to retail. Without a doubt, the most respected and industry leaders when it comes to training in this area are the folks at Wicklander-Zulawski. I took their basic course many years ago and then the advanced a few years later. They have since added a certification program that is rapidly becoming the industry standard.
W/Z as they are known have expanded their training into law enforcement and other Countries thus showing the quality of their training programs. You see their certificate of completion for the courses hanging in many Loss Prevention offices around the Country.
With a doubt, the cost of the courses is a small investment into one's professional career in Loss Prevention. You can see their course schedules at www.LPjobsFREE.com under the LP Calendar of Events.
Enjoy the day...
