Just out of curiousity, what elements do you have to gather (in your company) in order to arrest a shoplifter?
I have only been in LP for about 5yrs now, in two major retail companies. The first LP job I had was great at teaching the basics, but had a manager that knew a lot and didn't know how to apply it. Needless to say, his judgement was not always the best. The second LP job (current) is a federal retail job, in which I was promoted to supervisor in 3 months. Both jobs have almost similar elements to arrest shoplifters, give or take 1 or 2 differences. Because I live in Hawaii, I meet various people (in LP) from various states. Some say that they were able arrest before the subject left the store with the merchandise. That I find hard to believe, but apparently it is true (according to that individual).
My training has taught me the following list in order to arrest for theft:
What does it take in your town?

My training has taught me the following list in order to arrest for theft:
- approach
- select
- conceal (or carry in hand)
- constant surveillance
- exit the store
