The Problem

A regional PEI grocery chain was tracking a 2.4% shrink rate — nearly double the Canadian average — driven by a small organized-retail-crime ring hitting three stores on rotation.

The Deployment

Maple deployed plainclothes LP officers on a rotating schedule mirroring the crime pattern, coordinated a civil-recovery package with local counsel, and rebuilt the door-monitor SOP with the store managers.

“Our floor staff stopped trying to handle it alone. That changed everything about how the stores feel.”
