Month in Review: LPRC COVID-19 Resources in May
Over the course of May, the LPRC has released various resources to help our members combat the consequences of the ongoing pandemic. For your convenience, we've compiled a list of the reports and podcast episodes that we've produced within the last month.
The History and Evolution of Loss Prevention Magazine

This podcast was originally produced for the CrimeScience podcast series.
