Scottish Grocers’ Federation Crime & Security Seminar

Represented by Innovative Technology

This event will explore the latest trends in retail crime, the economic and operational consequences it has on businesses, and best practices for preventing and responding to these threats. Attendees will hear from experts on the cutting-edge security technologies, strategies for loss prevention and real-life stories from our retailer panel session. Recent figures published by the Scottish Government (Recorded Crime 2025), show that shoplifting has risen by 17% in the past year and has more than doubled (124%) since 2021. Cases of abuse and violence toward shop workers have reached a staggering 21,000 reported incidents in just four years. Nonetheless, SGF’s Crime report is clear that 48% of retail crime goes unrecorded due to the lack of confidence in the police attendance and the Scottish legal system. The SGF Crime Seminar highlights the reality at first hand from retailers. Looking at systems that help you to deter and detect crime and networking with likeminded businesses about the retail crime epidemic many retailers are facing.
