Mr. Jennings mentioned in his presentation that his members are sometimes asked why they do not get their own security. I have engaged with security officers and their representatives. I understand security means an additional cost to CSNA members. I get that. Also, security firms are having difficulty recruiting people who want to be the first or last line of defence in a retail operation in an area where there might be a high incidence of the behaviour in question. What is the CSNA's members' view on hiring security personnel? Is it too expensive? Even if they had the money, would they be able to get the staff?
