Retail loss prevention specialists do not belong to unions. Specialists often join professional associations for networking opportunities, educational programming, publications, research, advocacy, and other resources that can enhance their careers. Groups that offer these types of benefits include the International Association of Professional Security Consultants, Retail Industry Leaders Association, Loss Prevention Foundation (LPF), NMA-THE Leadership Development Organization, and the National Retail Federation. Retail loss prevention professionals can also join industry-specific organizations such as the Jewelers Security Alliance. The LPF, International Association of Professional Security Consultants, and ASIS International provide certification credentials.
