Is retail theft impacting your small business? Attending a theft prevention session is a smart move for any small business owner! It’s also a valuable opportunity to connect with other local business owners and share real-world prevention tips and experiences.

Learn how to protect your retail space and empower your employees with practical strategies and tools to deter crime and manage emergencies.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Design a Safer Space: Use environmental design to reduce risks while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.
• Handle Difficult Situations: De-escalate confrontations with suspicious or disruptive individuals.
• Prepare for Emergencies: Develop a plan for evacuations, lockdowns, and suspicious packages.
• Clarify Roles: Define responsibilities for management and staff and conduct regular risk assessments

We will also be welcoming Constable Hinchliffe from the Guelph Police Service to join us and discuss their free theft initiative: Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).

Want to minimize damage to your property or small business store front? – The Guelph Police Service has recently shared there is a service available to property owners and businesses to have a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Assessment done by a police officer. This service offers advice on how to minimize crime through CPTED.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your retail environment’s safety and security. Equip your team with the knowledge and tools to prevent crime effectively with the Business Centre Guelph Wellington, Workplace Safety & Prevention Services and the Guelph Police.
