No longer ‘under the radar’

Trolley push outs and the surprising impact on Retail

In this round table Nick will cover the experiences so far in Australia and New Zealand, looking at identified methodologies used by opportunist and ORC to remove trolleys full of groceries, and answer some of the most common questions and myths surrounding this line of theft activity. The human demographic of such theft events will surprise many, coupled with the varied value and how such a large percentage goes un-detected. Collaboration between retailers across the spectrum is a key factor to successfully reducing the activity of push out theft. All areas are affected and not just those that provide trolleys to customers, as many perpetrators will use a trolley to carry merchandise from retailer to retailer, blending in with the “crowd”. Nick looks forward to discussing this rising problem here in Australia and New Zealand with you.

How to spot the body language of bad intent

In his round table discussion Scott will revisit this theme with the latest research and insights

When people attend our retail sites with bad intent, whether it’s relating to anti-social crime, violence or theft, they display various physiological changes through their “emotional leakage”. Empowering our Teams to better pick up on the nuances of non-verbal communications can help keep them safe and well – and directly translate to a heightened service experience.

Scott is a Security, Safety and Risk Expert with 29 Years Global experience providing peace of mind and protecting the assets of a diverse client base. He has spent the last 36 months studying with the best body language, facial miro expression, deception detection, elicitation and combined communication specialists worldwide with backgrounds from Senior FBI, CIA and DoD roles and he will be sharing unique information relating to the physical traits shown by those attending sites with bad intent.

How can you turn these risks into opportunities?
