Introduction to the Loss Prevention Team
In this edition of our Newsletter, we are introducing our LP Teams. Our Directors will introduce
their teams and which clients they support. Our LP Teams are challenged with a variety of
responsibilities which include everything from recruiting, training, activity reports, client
relationships and most of all supporting you.
I want to introduce to all of you, Jacqueline Pendleton our LP Administrative Assistant for the LP
Division. Jacqueline started with U.S. Security in May, 2011. Before, U.S. Security, Jacqueline
spent time at Macy’s (not just shopping) in their LP Department working as their Regional
Inventory Control Auditor, Assistant LP Manager and LP Investigator. She brings a wealth of LP
talent with a great work ethic. She’s committed to professionalism and is highly organized. We are
very fortunate to have her on our team.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank each of you for the work you do, and we hope
everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend.
