Do most companies experience the same loss prevention problems? YES. Do they apply the same strategies and techniques in solving their loss prevention problems? NO! In fact, most companies that continue to experience loss prevention problems usually lack knowledge in the many areas that make up loss prevention. This lack of knowledge can, and often does, wreak havoc on a company's assets. No company can afford to make employee-related mistakes that will embarrass them, put their credibility in question, or cost them substantial dollars in a lawsuit. Knowledge is the key to preventing and avoiding such problems and concerns. Ben Franklin once said, "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." Arm yourself with the TUTOR and gain knowledge you'll need to face those difficult and sensitive situations.

For over a decade, the TUTOR's proactive approach to loss prevention has detected, prevented, and resolved a wide variety of problems with business loss-from poor customer service to complex internal fraudulent conduct. Let the TUTOR assist you in reducing losses while increasing awareness as well as company profits.

"…I have stolen about $208,000 in cash and $5,400 in merchandise from -------. I stole the money by not ringing customer sales, and the merchandise by carrying items out in a bag. Realizing the pharmacy gross would be low I rang HBA items up as Rx sales. This would keep the Rx gross up. I was put in a position of trust and violated this trust, therefore making it easier to steal."

-Pharmacist, Grocery/Drug store chain
