At Gatekeeper Systems, we believe the future of asset protection depends not just on innovation—but on people. 

That’s why we were proud to partner with the Loss Prevention Foundation (LPF) to present the webinar: “Securing the Future: Succession Planning & Building Tomorrow’s LP Leaders.” 

This insightful session brought together industry leaders who are shaping the next generation of loss prevention professionals. A huge thank you to our expert panel: 

  • David Johnston, National Retail Federation 
  • Mark Stinde, LPC, Casey’s 
  • Rick Peck, LPC, TJX 
  • Caroline Kochman, Loss Prevention Foundation 

Together, they shared real-world strategies for leadership development, mentoring programs, and workforce investment across the retail security landscape. 

 Key Takeaways from the Session:

  • Succession Planning Is a Must: Creating a formal roadmap for internal growth builds resilience and ensures organizational continuity. 
  • Mentorship Accelerates Growth: Leaders who mentor emerging professionals play a crucial role in shaping confident, capable teams. 
  • Training Isn’t Optional—It’s Strategic: Ongoing education, such as LPQ and LPC certifications, continues to be a game-changer in advancing careers and elevating the industry. 
  • Diverse Talent Pipelines Matter: Encouraging diverse and inclusive hiring practices helps expand perspectives and drive innovation in AP roles. 

“Leadership development isn’t just about preparing for the future—it’s about protecting what we’ve built,” as one panelist put it.
