Standard Oil of Indiana practices a highly effective technique of security planning and administration by requiring a mandatory uniform theft reporting program in order to collect statistics on a companywide basis.
Abstract
Theft analysis is used to determine the distribution, fluctuation, and nature of company thefts, the total volume of thefts known to company personnel, and the activity and strength of corporate personnel and programs. Offenses are classified by victim, subsidiary, and location. A corporate security analyst reviews the reports for completeness and detail, including location, time and date, description of property, value, police notification, jurisdiction, possible suspects, and the name and location of the originator of the report. Data is then entered into the analysis file, and an analysis recap sheet is prepared. The analysis sheet is reviewed every time a new theft is entered, and periodically throughout the year, to determine the evidence of any significant patterns. Summary analysis reports are presented periodically to appropriate management personnel and form the information basis for security policy and procedures decisionmaking. The theft report form is included.
