Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), started hiring police officers to protect its stores against thieves who in recent weeks have stolen products worth over 1 million dollars in California alone. Because things are starting to get more and more serious, the people from Apple made the decision to hire police officers to protect its stores in Sacramento, separate from the security agents it had.
Apple has signed contracts with several police departments in Sacramento to have additional police protection separate from the security firms it employs. The police officers employed by Apple are dressed in civilian clothes when they are in the stores, so they will not be easily recognized except by people who monitor the stores for long periods of time.
Apple Hires Police to PROTECT its Stores
Considering how large the amounts calculated for stolen products are in recent weeks, it is normal for Apple to no longer trust private security companies. The police are trained in a different way, they have a different desire to catch a thief, and they can ask for the help of their colleagues in the city if they fail to detain the person, or persons, in the shops.
"Apple is contracting with Sacramento police for tighter security, and so far, it's helped thwart potential robberies. Unfamiliar but friendly faces now stand behind glass windows at Apple stores in Roseville and Sacramento. These police officers are doubling up as security, and they're on guard for potential thieves, looking to swipe up expensive goods."
It is very possible that the news of the employment of the police will keep away many thieves determined to steal products from Apple stores, the chances of their actions being successful being much smaller. Those from Apple did not give many details about this change, but the effects will definitely be felt in the next period by reducing the number of thefts from stores.
