Monday, May 5th | West End Cultural Centre – 586 Ellice Ave, Winnipeg
The Sargent Business Community (SBC) is proud to feature Winnipeg Crime Stoppers at our upcoming Small Business & Retail Crime Prevention Conference – a full-day event dedicated to helping local businesses create safer, more secure environments through education, collaboration, and crime prevention strategies.
About Winnipeg Crime Stoppers:
Winnipeg Crime Stoppers is a vital community program that encourages citizens to share anonymous tips related to criminal activity. By working closely with law enforcement and the public, they help solve crimes, reduce theft, and enhance neighborhood safety. Their efforts rely on strong community involvement and awareness to make Winnipeg a safer place for all.
Crime Stoppers plays a critical role in educating businesses on identifying suspicious behavior and reporting it safely and effectively, without putting themselves at risk.
Panel Presentation: Shoplifting Awareness – Strategies for Identifying and Prevention
This session will provide business owners and staff with practical tools for identifying potential shoplifters by recognizing behavioral patterns, suspicious bags, group tactics, and common distractions. Panelists from Winnipeg Crime Stoppers will also discuss the importance of gathering evidence, how and when to safely confront suspects, and what legal rights businesses have in these situations.
Beyond shoplifting, this session will prepare attendees to address a range of retail crimes—including robbery and theft—by helping them develop a proactive plan to train staff, monitor activity, and protect merchandise. The goal is to create a safer and more prepared business environment for both employees and customers.
Speaker: Winnipeg Crime Stoppers
We encourage all retailers, business owners, and frontline staff to attend this essential session and take the next step in protecting their businesses and communities.
