Local businesses in Smiths Falls are being invited to a free retail theft workshop later this month, aimed at helping owners protect their stores and staff.
The in-person session is being hosted by the Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Smiths Falls Police Service and the Downtown Smiths Falls Business Association.
The workshop will be held February 23 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. upstairs at the Smiths Falls Memorial Centre.
Organizers say the session will focus on practical, real-world strategies, including store layout tips, camera placement, fraud prevention, no-trespassing orders, dump zone locations and an overview of the CAMSafe program.
The event is funded through Ontario Community Safety and Policing Grant Program.
Registration is required by email at info@smithsfallschamber.ca. Spots are limited and refreshments will be provided.
