  • Internal and External Relations
    Security and Loss Prevention, 2008
    Co-Authors: Philip P. Purpura
    Abstract:

    This chapter explains why it is so important to recruit people and organizations to assist with security and Loss Prevention efforts. With practitioners being asked to handle increasingly complex problems, often with limited resources, it is vital that all possible sources of assistance be solicited. Strategies are delineated in this chapter for improving relations between the Loss Prevention Department and those groups that Loss Prevention serves and works with in reducing Losses. Internal relations refer to cooperative efforts with individuals and groups within an organization that a Loss Prevention Department serves. External relations refer to cooperative efforts with external individuals and groups that assist in Loss Prevention objectives. For the internal relations upper management dictates Loss Prevention goals. Information technology (IT) and Loss Prevention Departments are increasingly working closer together because of threats and hazards facing IT systems. In external relations public safety agencies are an essential ingredient of private sector Loss Prevention programs. Good communications and cooperation are important in case crimes occur or a disaster strikes.
