Merchandising Security Services And Theft Detection Systems

By Barbara Bennett


While most retail locations and stores use different security devices and services, some are more reliable than others. In one case, there is now a 360 24/7 video surveillance system which has been released by a merchandising security services firm which claims to the be the best in the world. While this is the case, the system is fairly new on the market. As such, it might be a bit early to make such claims though reviews have all been positive to date.

In most cases, electronic surveillance is a technical method used to prevent shoplifting in the retail market. Whereas, pilferage of books from libraries or office supplies from buildings is also a concern. In most cases, fixed tags are placed on books and theft devices are attached to merchandise, though this is not always the case.

When these tags are attached, library staff, cashiers or clerks often remove the device during check-out. Whereas, there are some retail outlets which now also have theft detection systems in rest rooms and dressing areas. In addition, most retailers also have theft detection systems at entry and exit points which if a tag has not been removed will set off an alarm.

While most all products at large retailers have devices and alarms, there are different options and types. Whether based on microwave signals, radio waves or electro magnetic technology, all seem to set off an alarm based on a theft detection tag of some sort. As such, thieves began using booster tags to cover or replace the tags originally placed on a number of items.

When owners or managers are selecting a theft detection system, is important to consider the efficiency factor. For, if alarms are caused by tags which have been scanned though not removed correctly, it can often cause store good customers. Whereas, having an alarm going off in error can still be embarrassing, especially if individuals whom have paid for items are stopped and searched after check out.

In most cases, well informed shoplifters are aware of how tags can be deactivated or removed while still in the store. In some cases, these individuals use booster tags which are placed over an original tag to block the detection sensor. Whereas, in other cases, individuals will simply find a way to remove the tag before leaving the store.

In some cases, shoplifters will overlook a secondary device, or forget to remove a tag off of a single piece of clothing, thus setting off an alarm and being caught. Whereas, there are also individuals being caught due to new in-package integrated device tags which can not be replaced or covered with tags known as booster tags. As such, unless a shoplifter opens the package and removes the device, an alarm will still sound resulting in the shoplifter being caught.

A number of tools related to shoplifting are also illegal in some areas and can often be used as evidence against those committing the crime. Hence, shoplifters whom are not aware of these tools often have a greater risk of getting caught. While this is the case, individuals using the tools to remove tags in the United States and United Kingdom can be arrested for suspicion of theft or being equipped for stealing without having shoplifted at the time. As such, it is always best just to pay for merchandise. For, if an individual can not afford the product, chances are fines and potential jail time will be far more costly in the long run.
