The objective of the store detective is to observe a complete crime taking place. They achieve this by observing a shoplifter approaching an item, appropriating the item (picking it up), concealing the item (not always) and leaving the store having not paid for said item. The key difference between a store detective and a security guard is that the former's role is covert. 4, record 1, English, - loss%20prevention%20agent

De prime abord, le mandat d'un agent de prévention des pertes semble assez simple : il doit s'assurer que les marchandises qui sortent du magasin ou de l'entrepôt du client ont été payées. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9tective%20de%20magasin
