There sure seems to be a lot of panic going on. Many companies are scaling WAY back, consumers seem to be drastically reducing spending. We in loss prevention face some incredible challenges, if we are still employed. I know that many companies are cutting payroll, cutting anything considered “unnecessary” spending. So, I’d like to ask a simple question: “Is it time to hit the panic button?” 

In other words, are you in crisis mode? If you are in loss prevention, what are you seeing? Are you becoming more concerned with internal theft? Are you seeing an increase in external theft? Are your awareness and protection programs being dropped by the wayside because they cost too much time and money?

I’m not convinced that we are in Crisis as an industry yet, but I can see us getting there soon, if things don’t change. Do you agree? Disagree? Let’s talk about this…
