BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — I was honored to serve as the Keynote Speaker for the Florida Retail Federation 2015 Loss Prevention Conference in Tampa.

Retail Theft has a significant impact on our citizens and retailers throughout the state of Florida and in 2014 caused a 44 Billion Dollar loss to retailers throughout the United States.

The conference was attended by approximately 200 members of Law Enforcement, Retail Loss Prevention Specialists, and vendors who are all focused on decreasing the impact of Retail Theft in the state of Florida.

I would like to personally thank the Florida Retail Federation for allowing me to serve as the Keynote Speaker for the conference and also for hosting the event to help decrease crime throughout our great state.
