Did you know that retail crime, such as shoplifting, robbery and vandalism, costs Australian businesses up to $9 billion each year?

Retailers face risks including armed robbery, active armed offender incidents, and assault. Do you know what to do if an active armed offender came into your business with the sole intention of hurting people? Like any emergency, you should have a well-practiced plan for what to do.

This training takes place on our eLearn platform. Members will need to create a login for this platform when using for the first time.

The NRA Retail Institute developed this training to help retailers prepare, survive and recover from active armed offender incidents as part of the Safe Retail Precincts Project.

  • Better identify suspicious behaviour
  • Know who to report suspicious behaviour to
  • Be better equipped to know what to do in an active armed offender event
  • Be able to identify safe places in or around your store if you need to hide
