Security Guards Employ Body Cameras for Theft Prevention
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Body cameras are just the latest in a slew of security measures retailers have taken, such as locking up products behind glass cases and removing self-checkout stations.
When people know that their actions are being recorded they tend to behave differently. The advertisement of body worn cameras in use can deter members of the public from behaving antisocially, abusively or aggressively.
Retailers are also working more closely with law enforcement and devoting more internal resources to investigating theft.

“The greatness of a leader is measured by the achievements of the led. This is the ultimate test of his effectiveness.” — Gen. Omar Bradley
Organizations need guidance and direction from a strong security leader. To mitigate threats the security team needs to prioritize the risks and threats that are of the utmost importance to the business and then devise a strategy to mitigate those risks and threats.
Strategy should result in a number of initiatives designed to improve the security posture of the business. The security team should gear up to implement those initiatives, staying true to the strategy and plan along the way.
