Loss Prevention Jobs in Maryland

A Loss Prevention Specialist's primary role in the retail industry is to prevent merchandise theft, damage, or any form of financial loss to the company. They ensure the safety and security of the store's assets by implementing and overseeing loss prevention policies, conducting regular audits and surveillance, and investigating any suspected fraudulent activities. Loss Prevention specialists also train the store staff on security and safety protocols and work closely with the local law enforcement agencies when needed.
