Jewelers Mutual to Host Security Webinar This Month
“Jewelry Business Security Upgrades” will take place on April 20 and cover topics like showcases, security guards, safes and more.
Neenah, Wis.--Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co. is hosting a webinar this month to help jewelry businesses beef up their security.
“Jewelry Business Security Upgrades” will take place on Thursday, April 20 at 1:00 p.m. CDT and will be run by Jewelers Mutual Vice President of Loss Prevention David Sexton.
It will cover topics such as security guards, showcases, surveillance cameras, safes, alarm systems and locked door buzzers and mantraps.
Those interested in the webinar can register here.
“It’s important to trust your gut when it comes to assessing the risk an individual might pose. Close observation and consistently following sound security guidelines can go a long way in keeping your store secure,” Sexton said.
Jewelers Mutual also gives these tips to be able to identify a potential thief.
--Many thieves pose as well-dressed clients, counting on a put-together appearance to get past controlled access systems. Consider showing high-value merchandise by appointment only or have an armed, off-duty uniformed police officer on site.
--Some thieves will pose as a repair or delivery person, providing them with the opportunity to scope out or tamper with the security system. It’s important to allow all independent contractors on premise by appointment only, verify identification and make sure there’s always someone with them.
--Beware of the “easy” sale via phone or email. Criminals will request merchandise to be shipped immediately and give a fake credit card number.
--Thieves often display behaviors that give them away, and retailers who know what to look for have a better chance of identifying a thief and anticipating their behavior. Some “tells” to watch for include appearing nervous, entering as a group and then splitting up, asking to compare items and seeming interested in everything.
