The lecture, led by Jewelers’ Security Alliance (JSA) President John Kennedy, will cover principal crime risks faced by jewelers and the most effective strategies to avoid becoming a victim.

Risks from robbery, burglary and theft will be discussed, including those faced on the road or outside of a store, office or home.

In addition, each attendee will receive a copy of JSA’s Manual of Security.

The JSA works closely with the FBI and local police on more than 1,500 crimes committed each year in the United States against jewelry firms. JSA is also holding a loss prevention show in Las Vegas from March 6 to 8.
