Many lawsuits relating to retail loss prevention or retail security are based on allegations of false detainment, excessive force or injuries suffered by uninvolved parties due to the actions of loss
prevention or security personnel pursuing shoplifters or thieves. In these cases, often the event is captured on videotape. Analysis of such tapes is covered under the Surveillance
Videotape Analysis section of this Web site.
In other cases, litigation is based on allegations of inadequate security when shoppers are injured during a holdup or assaulted in parking lots where the level of protection is alleged to be
substandard. A more recent class of litigation involves claims of racial profiling of minorities in retail environments and is covered under the Racial Profiling
section of this Web site.
Mr. Schmedlen is extensively experienced in all phases of retail loss prevention including retail store detective procedures, undercover operations and physical security in the retail environment.
