Face Value: LPRC Face Matching Research – LPF Webinar Takeaways

Face Value: LPRC’s Research on Face Matching in Retail Investigations

Key Takeaways from the LPF Webinar

Retailers face mounting challenges in identifying offenders, reducing bias, and stopping repeat theft. In this Loss Prevention Foundation (LPF)webinar, the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC) and FaceFirst® shared results from three studies proving how face matching technology can improve investigations and reveal critical offender patterns.

Key Takeaways:

• Faster Investigations: Face matching speeds up suspect identification, saving valuable time.

• Reduced Bias: Improves accuracy across different racial and gender profiles.

• Pattern Insights: Repeat offenders drive disproportionate losses.

These findings show how technology can help loss prevention teams work smarter, act faster, and protect profits.

The Bottom Line

The LPRC’s research makes a compelling case for integrating face matching into retail investigations. By reducing bias, accelerating suspect identification, and uncovering critical patterns of loss, this technology empowers retailers to better protect their people, products, and profits.
