Knowledge Center: Guest Blogger Jeff Stein
Starting tomorrow, Identity Resolution Daily will begin publishing Knowledge Center, a series of guest posts authored by some of the nation’s leading experts in identity resolution, loss prevention, fraud prevention and risk management. We’ll also from time to time feature guest posts from authorities in federal government, retail, insurance and financial services sectors.
Tomorrow’s post comes to us courtesy of Jeff Stein, president of Executive LP Services and
MonitorClosely.com. A 20-year pro in Loss Prevention, Jeff’s career began as a store detective at Haynes Department Stores. He has managed Loss Prevention programs for many Fortune 1000 retailers, including RadioShack Corporation, Electronics Boutiques of America, Inc. and Garden Ridge. Today he is an authority in mitigating theft and fraud, plus developing and evaluating new practices that identify and reduce financial risk.
Back when Jeff first started as a store detective, the sole method of catching shoplifters was either through undercover detectives posing as customers, or through old fashioned observations made by security staff from atop handmade perches. Come back tomorrow for Part One of Jeff’s two-part post, “Loss Prevention — Then vs. Now”.
