In the last few weeks I have visited a number of gaming jurisdictions and spoken with many of you folks on the front lines. The message I continue to hear is that internal theft continues to rise and we are not providing enough training to stop it or even slow it down.

What I also see is that criminals are usually better at what they do than we are at what we do. They are usually exceptional both at stealing and covering it up. If they didn't get greedy many criminals would never be caught!

Employees who steal from the company are criminals, they can be adept at their theft and preventing its detection. But they can be caught.

Use the surveillance trade craft we've often discussed to catch your employees; proactive operations, audits, reporting of exceptions, and others. If you can get inside the curve of employee theft you can reduce it!
