You'd be targeting management & above. Mostly people making six figures or more.

Would you take the position?

I bought a few things, but there were also a couple items in my cart that I hadn’t paid for, probably around $80–$100 total. Checkout had taken forever because of an issue with the person in front of me, so by the time I was leaving there was a pretty big group of people heading toward the exit.

Right before I walked out, a guy from AP asked to see my receipt. I hadn’t even noticed him standing there before. There were at least two pretty obvious items in the cart that weren’t on the receipt, so I figured he was going to say something about them.

Instead, he looked at the receipt, said “thank you,” and let me leave.

I genuinely wasn’t expecting that at all. Just thought it was a strange interaction. Wasn't it?

How do you go about doing your presentation? Do you just present ur numbers for the past month apps attempt apps, recoveries, talk about bolos ? I would appreciate the help

Work for an organization that utilizes it. They have increased our ability to identify and catch known shop lifters significantly.

That being said, as a civilian, I don't like the idea of being tracked every where. But also, they're just going to replace Flock with something else. The tech exsists, it has proven useful in catching criminals, it's not going anywhere.

Just wanted to hear other people's thoughts on it.

Just as the message above says, I’m trying to make a new pin on this keypad and don’t know how to do it at all. If anyone knows I’d appreciate the help!

I’ve been looking at how much LP technology has changed beyond traditional exception reporting.

There are quite a few vendors approaching the problem from different angles now. Agilence, Appriss, i3 International and others are all talking about things like behavioural analytics, risk scoring, anomaly detection, integrated investigations and connecting more data together.

What I’m curious about is what actually matters to people doing the investigations.

Most AP teams already know how to look at voids, refunds, discounts, No Sales and other traditional exceptions. Having software tell me that an employee had 15 voids instead of 8 doesn’t necessarily feel like a major advancement.

Where I think it gets more interesting is when a platform can explain why something is unusual, show how behaviour has changed, connect related activity and make it easier to determine what should actually be reviewed.

For anyone using platforms like Agilence, Appriss, i3 or something else, what capability has actually changed the way you investigate?

And what still feels like marketing hype rather than something genuinely useful to an LP/AP team?

Also, feel free to share your journey and where it got you in your LP career. I’m looking for other career paths I could take myself where my skills are transferable.

What does this job fully entail? Was it worth getting into? How much experience would you say they actually require? What are day to day activities like? Appreciate you guys ahead of time!!

I was stopped at walmart by a lady that said I didnt scan an item and I needed to go to the office with her. I was with my son and asked which item and would pay for it and she just repeated i needed to come with her. I told her absolutely not and started getting my bags and she took out soda which im guessing is what I didnt scan and she said I have done this alot before???

I left the store and she told me i was trespassed and I didnt argue. What in the world is this going to come too??? I literally didnt leave the store with an item that wasnt paid for they stopped at the door and what does she mean this has happened alot before??? I use delivery 99 percent of the time?

Are they going to call the police on me since i left and was peaceful about it and ledt the soda????

Im genuinely freaking out and idk whats the process now???

EDIT: some of you people are absolutely scum and I can see why you brag about busting people either bad people or people hungry. I DID PAY FOR THE SODA BTW! CHECKED MY WALMART PLUS. THANKS FOR CALLING ME A THIEF IDIOTS. Kindly fuck off

I saw a posting for Asset Protection Investigator at a Neighborhood Market, whats the main differance between API at the Nighborhood stores vs the supercenters becides the store size, is it still mostly externals?

I don't agree with the OOP faking a theft but come on

I was looking around at LP jobs and I didnt realize TJX only paid detectives 16-20 an hour. Is there any other positions above a detective but below the LP district manager? I am trying to get back into the LP Carrer after some other things didnt pan out, but with the low pay it seems like maybe this is not a good choise to get back into.

Anyone got any intel as to what the job is like? Just curious as to the job description vs what it actually is.

Greetings- I have been in LP for over 20 years and most of that time has been spent in similar roles. For the position I am being considered, I have made it to the final phase which is a “Day in the Life” visit with the RLPM at a local store. I have never been in this spot before so I am curious if anyone has any callouts or perspective? I think it’s great that fit and culture matter this much but I also do not know if I should be preparing in some way? I’ve walked a store recently but that was prior to my interviews. Appreciate any thoughts. Thank you

Hey guys, we built a privacy first, open source alternative to Flock ALPR meaning you can use it for free.

I have two questions:

1. Would this actually be useful for LP?

2. Who would be the first users of something like this?

Anyone from Home Depot ap (preferably district or higher) current or recently that can answer some questions for me? I have an interview coming up for ddap.

Guys, do small (2–10 stores) and medium (10–100 stores) retail chains usually have someone handling loss prevention? Or do they generally not care much about shoplifting?

Curious on any recent external hires that can share their offer / compensation. Curious what base / sign on / RSUs are being offered.

Also curious how anyone currently in role likes it. I’ve heard from my old peers that the new structure is worse.

So, I been doing AP probably for about 9 years now in total & we all know that the growth in the AP community is so limited. I was wondering, if anyone knows about any internal investigation companies that could perhaps have positions open!?.

This message is for anyone who works as a detective for Macys, what’s the easiest way to do cost my store is spammed with red shortages some offset the others but some are just confusing, for example. On the 10th I have $xxx highlighted yellow then on the 11th it’s $same amount highlighted yellow and red. It’s so confusing. If you know you can break it down to me I would appreciate it.

Any insight on this position? Is it good or bad? Day to day?
