A Must-Read for Store Owners and Managers.......2004-04-28
This book is easy to understand, and it has everything in it that a retail person needs to know in order to reduce thefts and other kinds of losses in a store. I've looked at other books, but they're too complicated. This one lays the topics out in a logical way, and the writer doesn't try to impress you with big words--just the facts!
Book Description
A creative, simple and easy to understand training guide for Positive Loss Prevention.
This book provides Retailers with a ready made training program for Loss Prevention. The book is based on the concept of Prevention over Apprehension.
Positive Loss Prevention includes a self study workbook at the end of each of the fourteen chapters.
The Positive Loss Prevention theory is based on the importance of Customer Service and preventing crimes not catching criminals in the Retail environment.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent overview - few details.......2001-07-09
An excellent overview of the current thinking of corporate retail loss prevention. This is an excellent primer for retail loss prevention as it is espoused by most large corporations. It gives few "in depth" details - this should not guide you in how to achieve this condition (if it does, you're just starting out or else you're in serious trouble). However, this gives an excellent introduction to the new loss prevention specialist. "Hands on" instruction should follow the reading of this book.
Too little coverage on Internal Theft.......2001-04-22
The coverage on Loss due to external factors is fair but not deep enough. So only suitable as a first reading for someone who is new to retailing. The coverage about Internal theft is far from satisfactory !!
Los Prevention Made Easy.......2000-04-05
Positive Loss Prevention is a great way to introduce employees to the topic of Loss Prevention.It is clearly written and gives a very practical approach to training employees. Its extremely positive approach is a departure from the majority of books written on the subject.It takes the participant through fourteen quality chapters with the appropiate workbooks for them to complete.When they have completed the book the employee can obtain a certificate of accomplishment.I believe this book can be a great asset for the retailer and for emoployee training. Training employees is the key in adding to bottom line profit by reducing losses.

Excellent ROI Potentials Here.......1999-12-28
Most retail loss prevention publications and material on the market today are directed specifically to retail executives, owner/operators, or associated loss prevention personnel. Mr. Tilley's recent book and entry to this market, however, has chosen to address two of the major components in the retailing shrinkage equation - shoplifting and employee theft - from a unique perspective. Mr. Tilley has put together a very comprehensive instructional primer, with a workbook review format at the end of each chapter, which is designed to be put directly into the hands of each and every front-line employee, in any retail operation. This book introduces the employee to the basic concepts of retail shrinkage and the cause and effect of everyday losses. More importantly, the book introduces the front-line employee to those simple, but invaluable, time-tested techniques, by which he or she can become an important and intrinsic part of the store's loss prevention program. Most of those loss prevention applications and situation solutions discussed in this primer have an added and common denominator benefit for the retailer - improved customer service.
Excellent, professional training guide for retailers........1999-11-03
Easy to read, easy to understand. The ideas are straightforward and easy to implement. Most retail companies have pieces of this information in their own handbooks. Now you can provide your people a complete training guide for less than $25. Your company will look more professional and your people will be better trained. The result is less theft and more competent staff. The real result is more satisfied customers.

Great for those taking ASIS exams!.......2005-08-16
In this latest edition, events after 911 is depicted thus the updated book reflects new security trends and concerns after the terrifying 911. Packaging arrived in nice shrink wrapped, without any dents or scratches. A must have for those taking ASIS exams.
Strong Introduction to Loss Prevention.......2001-08-05
The book is well organized, and covers a wide breadth. I recommend this for anyone wanting a thorough overview. It is a textbook, so it is more academic than hands-on. It is also a great source of references for a wide variety of organizations and standards.
The best information source for newcomers in Loss Prevention.......2000-05-24
Because of this book I was able to jump into Loss Prevention after Leaving my job as a Deputy Sheriff and I Doubled my yearly income. I just followed the the outline layed out in every chapter on conducting Security assesments and evaluations and then made recomendations. The customers keep referring other customers. I have plenty of work.
Good Resource of all Supervisors Contract/Private.......1999-04-11
Here is a book that is a must for all security supervisors in the contract and private sector in security. We all have to start with the basics when training new security supervisors and officers. Here is a book that can aid greatly to the end result that we in the industry are striving for well trained and knowledgable Security Supervisors and officers. All chapters of this book can be set to lesson plan for classroom study or chapters can be assigned to all and have them answer the questions at the end of each chapters. Teaching how and when a security survey should be conducted and explaining to the client the findings and the recommendations that were found during the survey. If you have the book keep it if you do not get a copy ASAP it will only make that much prepared for the changes in the industry that will taking place today into the next century and beyond. Good Luck. Dennis Medick

Book Description
The Retailer's Guide to Loss Prevention and Security is an introduction to retail security. It covers the basic principles, the various techniques and technologies available, and the retailer's interaction with the police, courts, and the law. Donald J. Horan, President of Loss Control Concepts, Ltd., lends to this book his vast experience in the retail business and as a loss control consultant. Designated a Certified Protection Professional by the American Society for Industrial Security, he is also a member of the International Association of Professional Security Consultants (IAPSC). He has directed and managed retail loss prevention programs all over the U.S. for major department stores and specialty chains, and has provided his expertise to a host of client companies during his tenure with the National Loss Prevention Bureau. Donald Horan's practical experience fills this book with all the tips, strategies, and procedures you need to create an effective loss prevention program. Owners, managers, and security managers of small and medium-sized retail operations; security agencies; individuals, institutions, and companies that give seminars on the topic; and personnel in law enforcement and forensics will find this an essential text. It will be extremely helpful to senior corporate executives to whom the loss prevention/security function reports, because it is their responsibility to determine whether loss prevention practices conform to the long-term goals of the company. Growing retail businesses and those contemplating future acquisitions for expansion will find the work invaluable. The same can be said for turn-around ventures or downsized businesses emerging from reorganization. The book would also be easily adaptable for use in undergraduate courses in an accredited criminal justice or retail management program.

Excellent Introductory guide.......1997-06-02
Mr. Siljander's well written primer on loss control
and business security combines just the right mix
of insurance and non-insurance methods of dealing
with risk for today's businesses.
The concepts presented are done so in a manner which
enables non-insurance professionals to easily grasp
the concepts of loss control and insurance.
You will be hard pressed to find another book in this field which combines
the author's police and insurance/loss control experience.
