In this episode of Retail Crime Uncovered, Emmeline catches up with John Yates QPM, Director of Security for Scentre Group (owner of Westfield), Australia and New Zealand. In a former career spanning 30 years John held one of the top spots in the Metropolitan Police, the largest police force in Europe. He is the recipient of many awards, including the Queen’s Police Medal for his role in coordinating the UK police response to the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake. Most recently he has been involved in the response to another devastating incident. On 13th April a man armed with a knife entered Westfield Bondi Junction in Sydney, Australia and fatally stabbed six people and injured several others. Emmeline and John talk about how a community and business have joined together to reflect and rebuild following such a tragic incident and what it means more broadly for security in Australia and New Zealand.

“Safety is a core company value” explains Chris Harris, Director of Asset Protection and Safety at Kroger. In this jam-packed with insights episode, Emmeline talks to one of the industry’s leading global experts about how he’s managed to implement a theft prevention eco-system across more than 2,800 stores.

In this episode of Retail Crime Uncovered, Emmeline talks to the hugely knowledgeable and experienced Detective Chief Superintendent Jim Taylor about the business and policing partnership dubbed ‘Operation Pegasus’. As a key part of the UK government’s approach to tackling serious organised retail crime, Jim explains the importance of sharing data and intelligence to target the most serious and networked offenders. This is compelling listening for any country or location looking to establish similar policing units and strategies to tackle high-harm retail crime.
