Store Saver helps retail stores, police, courts, jails, and the shoplifters themselves with the epidemic of retail theft.

Most shoplifters are repeat offenders, even after many arrests and while on probation. Store Saver greatly restricts, or completely terminates the offenders ability to re-enter the retail environment without approval and or supervision. Standard Retail Theft Probation, without Store Saver, can only instruct the offender to not enter retail stores. This can’t be ensured, and many still shoplift without being caught. Store Saver eliminates this risk.
