I help retailers think through Asset Protection problems and put practical solutions in place.

My name is Glen. Welcome to Retail Asset Protection. I’ve spent more than 25 years working in retail, with much of that time focused on Asset Protection.

Glen Canarte, founder of Retail Asset Protection

From theft and investigations to operational controls, auditing, and training, I’ve learned that effective Asset Protection is about people, good processes and making smart decisions.

Today my role has grown into retail operations and real estate, work I genuinely enjoy and have learned a lot from. But I still miss the coaching, walking store floors, sitting down with associates and managers, and helping them get sharper and more confident in their Loss Prevention skills. I also love developing Asset Protection professionals into stronger future leaders.

I created Retail Asset Protection so I can keep doing the part of my job I’ve always loved the most, sharing my knowledge in a practical way and helping people build safer, stronger stores.

Who this site is for

Different roles. Similar challenges.

Retail Asset Protection was created for people who have responsibility for protecting a retail business but may not have years of Asset Protection experience or a large team of specialists behind them.

Whether you’re running a few stores, managing a larger operation or just getting started in physical retail, this site is designed to help you build practical Asset Protection knowledge and confidence.

Asset Protection is one of many responsibilities.

You may be a store operator, regional manager or part of a broader leadership role who also has LP responsibilities. This site helps you get up to speed with clear, practical guidance.

You’re growing a retail business

You might be a small business owner, a growing retailer or a company entering physical retail. Find practical tools and insights to help you put the right practices in place from the start or strengthen what you already have.

You have LP experience

You’re welcome here too. Sometimes a fresh perspective, a practical tool or a different way of approaching a familiar problem can be just as valuable. This is also a place to share ideas and learn from others who care about protecting retail.

Practical is the point.

Asset Protection can get complicated, but useful guidance shouldn’t have to be. The goal here is to make the concepts, tools and approaches that protect retail businesses, easier to understand and easier to put into practice.

That means focusing on real situations, explaining the thinking behind the response, and giving you something you can actually use.
