Retales: Conversations with Profit Protection Profit Protection Future Forum

Today Nicole is joined
by Inspector Kirsten Evans and Matthew Tierney, from NZ Police.  Kirsten is the Manager for the Rangitahi (Youth) Prevention for NZ police and Matt is the Manager National Retail Investigation Support
Unit.


Retail crime is a significant issue in NZ, impacting more than 92% of Retailers and whilst youth offenders are responsible for only a portion of retail crime,
there seems to be a growing trend for youths looking for notoriety on social media which is driving a spike in retail crime.

Today Nicole is joined by, Scott Harris, Managing Director, Workforce Resilience.  Scott has presented at the PPFF Meeting in Sydney last year but this is the first time on Retales !


After spending 26 years in the Queensland Police Force, Scott now spends his time assisting organisations build greater resilience within their workforce and reduce risk
whilst enhancing operational security and safety.  Given the recent events at Westfield Bondi, we thought this would be a good opportunity to talk to Scott about managing critical incidents.
