Anti-Theft Class

Who is this class for?

Individuals who have been mandated by court order or other institution to take a class that deals with theft and/or shoplifting. This can mean taking materials such as lunch, reports, etc. from an employment setting to taking from a retail setting. All of these can be seen as theft.

Our Theft Awareness Class meets the approved eight (8) hour course criteria requirements for Child Welfare Services, Family Court, Probation, Parole, and most other Judicial Services. A Certificate of Completion is provided upon successful completion of this anti-theft course.

This course is designed to explain theft and shoplifting; not only what typically legally constitutes as theft and shoplifting, but what are some possible causes and some unique ways for the prevention of this type of behavior.

Our Theft Awareness course also focuses on ways to prevent oneself from partaking in these types of behaviors and keeping out of trouble by addressing the following topics:
