The author, Liz Martinez, is an adjunct professor at Interboro Institute, a
two-year college in New York City that offers a Security Management degree program. After a career during which she honed
her retail security skills, she switched gears from a management position into writing, editing and teaching. She holds a
New York State security certification and is a member of ASIS International's New York City Chapter's Diversity Council and
the Police Writers Association.
She graduated from John Jay College of Criminal Justice with a B.A. in criminal
justice. Moreover, Liz was as New York Police Department Auxiliary police officer for five years. Her book, “The Retail Manager's Guide to Crime and Loss Prevention: Protecting Your Business from
Theft, Fraud and Violence,” draws on her practical and academic experience in the retail security field. According to one reviewer, “ This book is easy to understand, and it has everything in it that a
retail person needs to know in order to reduce thefts and other kinds of losses in a store. I've looked at other books, but
they're too complicated. This one lays the topics out in a logical way, and the writer doesn't try to impress you with big
words--just the facts!”
