🎬 Behind the Scenes of Our New Loss Prevention Course

After a full day of filming in-store scenarios for our new Loss Prevention Course for Security Professionals, we couldn’t resist ending the day with a little fun.

The final scene we filmed shows a common situation loss prevention specialists face — monitoring a suspected shoplifter, only to suddenly lose contact when the individual realizes they may be under observation.

Let’s just say… things didn’t go exactly as planned in this take. 😄

You’ll see instructors Mark and Whitney having a little fun behind the scenes after a long day of filming. Even in serious professions like security and investigations, a bit of humour at the end of a long production day is sometimes exactly what the team needs.

🎥 Stay tuned!

Our Loss Prevention Course for Security Professionals is now in the final stages of production and is expected to be live and available for purchase early next week.

This new course will deliver:

✔ Real retail investigation scenarios
✔ Instruction from experienced industry professionals
✔ Practical techniques used by loss prevention specialists
✔ High-quality instructor-led training
✔ Industry-relevant and compliant course material

We’re excited to continue raising the bar for professional training and helping those working in security and investigative services gain the knowledge and certifications they need to succeed.

Because at Smith Security Inc.

If you want to be the best, train with the best.

When you’re a kid, people tell you that you can grow up to be anything you want.

I was blessed to grow up surrounded by family and family friends who didn’t just say it—
They meant it.

They spoke confidence, vision, and purpose into me from the very beginning.

Even as a little kid, I already knew I would one day own multiple businesses.

Not because I understood what entrepreneurship was…
But because the people around me taught me to believe I could do anything I set my heart to.

Decades later, standing as a leader and entrepreneur, I carry those words with me.
And I hope anyone watching this carries them too.

To anyone with a dream, a calling, or a vision that won’t leave your heart:
✨ Don’t ignore it.
✨ Don’t talk yourself out of it.
✨ Don’t let the hard seasons convince you to quit.

The challenges shape you.
The setbacks refine you.
And the belief others had in you—combined with the belief you grow in yourself—
will take you further than you can imagine.

Listen to the people who tell you that you can become anything.
They’re right.

Keep going. Your purpose is worth it. 🤍
