Loss Prevention Opportunity at Target!

Please read email below.....this could be a great opportunity for someone.  It is a fantastic way to get experience in loss prevention and to prepare for future law enforcement positions.

Hi Wendy,

                     I am the Executive of Assets Protection for the Germantown Target and was given your information by my employee--one of your alumni. He informed me that you were his program director while he attended UMD at USG. I wanted to reach out to you to inform you of a entry level Asset Protection position opening up at my store here in Germantown. The position is for a Target Protection Specialist and is currently held by one of your old students. Your student has done a fantastic job in this position and I believe a lot of his success can be attributed to the knowledge he gained from graduating from your program. He has shown a great deal of interest to grow within the AP field and I have cultivated this interest and dedication to our department. He has recently been promoted so now I am looking to back-fill the position and start developing some new talent and get another career started within the AP field. If you have any students or recent graduates that you think would be interested in starting a career within the AP field please feel free to send them my way. My contact info is at the bottom of this email. 

                 All the best, Michael Norman.
