Retail loss prevention

Re: Retail loss prevention

Would any such blacklist be lawful?

Those who have operated such databases and have been caught have taken a hammering from the courts, Cloggy. That speaks for itself as to the lawfulness of such databases. It is my understanding that those who contribute information to such databases can be pursued as well as those who maintain and operate them. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the only permitted databases of criminal wrongdoing are those held by police forces and other law enforcement agencies and the Criminal Records Office (CRO).

I am still somewhat concerned at the practice of the security goon demanding the OP's National Insurance Number. As well as reporting this to DWP, the OP should also report the matter to the ICO.

The furore over blacklisting applied mainly to the construction industry.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the "blacklists" began with Union activists being named - unlawful yet clearly still covertly in operation?

I've just been reading about this, predominantly what I found was from the States. They stated a staggering 44% of merchandise loss is due to employee theft, so nearly half of all theft is from within a stores own staff. That's frightening!

I have worked in the security industry, specialising at one point in the retail sector. My experience was that most of the losses were due not to theft, but to incompetent managers. A bad buying decision, for instance, which meant that expensive perishable items went rotten, would see the loss put down in whole or in part as theft.

Haven't received anything from RLP YET

Re: Retail loss prevention

That's their usual claim.

All it means is that they have not learned anything from the Oxford case.

They can want all they like. Ignore the speculative invoice completely.

I was brought up with a saying, "I want never gets. Please may I have gets all there is to spare."

In this instance, sadly for them, there's nothing to spare! :beagle:

Even in present company, I am sure I can spare them some derision.

I can spare plenty of derision for RLP. I'm unsure what you mean by, "Even in present company ......"

Would you care to elaborate please? I don't understand that bit. :beagle:
