This deals with the act of theft. Theft forms the basis of most of the crimes reported to the police and security, and therefore it is an offence that your teams will deal with frequently. The legislation that deals with this offence is covered by Theft Act 1968. The training will also discuss the subtle ’points to prove’ differences between theft and the act of shoplifting and is also a good pathway to understanding the links to the powers of arrest and power to use force as described in Use of Force legislation. Great to combine. Good knowledge of legislation ensures professionalism from your officers.
