Less than half of Canadians believe retail stores are implementing the right amount of security measures to prevent shoplifting but the majority say they would feel safe working in one, a new Leger poll found.
The survey on retail security indicated that a wide majority of people support retailers implementing measures to prevent theft such as installing security cameras or electronic anti-theft alarms attached to items, hiring security guards or locking certain products in display cases.But respondents were split on whether they would support measures such as store employees checking receipts when customers exit or eliminating self-checkout machines.
When it comes to retailers implementing security measures to prevent shoplifting, 45 per cent of respondents said companies are putting in place the right level.Around 27 per cent said they are not implementing enough measures, while 10 per cent said stores are doing too much to prevent shoplifting. The sentiment was felt most strongly in B.C., where one-quarter of respondents said they felt their province sees more store theft than others.
Store theft and break-ins continue to be top issues for Canadian businesses, according to a separate survey conducted in May by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
