Media Editing: The video module(s) in this subject are editable under our Content Studio offering, unless otherwise indicated.
Description: Storefront robberies are an unfortunate occurrence that many retail businesses deal with. A robbery differs from shoplifting in one major way: the level of human interaction. In a robbery, a person will be confrontational and use force or violence to get what they want, whereas a shoplifter wants to sneak in and out unnoticed. Just as security tags work to prevent and catch shoplifters, there are methods stores can use to prevent robberies. In fact, taking preventative actions is good for overall business since the same things that attract customers can deter potential robbers. This subject teaches employees and managers what steps they can take to prevent a robbery at their business, from safe practices at the cash register to store layout and more. Employees are also taught how to appropriately respond if a robbery occurs and what they should do once it is over. **NOTE** - This subject references U.S. denominations of currency.
