- In the event of a shoplifting incident, you will use your customer service skills to act as a deterrent.
- You will explain that the customer is suspected of shoplifting and with the assistance of the uniformed guard should advise them that they are recording video and audio of the incident using their body cam, and that they are also being captured on CCTV.
