Today's economy depends on excellence in the protection of assets.

Security professionals must have a unique blend of leadership, team player

skills and be results driven. Also be willing to contribute to the

companies' profitability. They must not only monitor day-day activities but

also be willing to help implement strategic initiative for the future well

being of the company. I am committed to the loss prevention mission,

Averting Loss.

As my resume will demonstrate, I have been apart of investigative work

for the past 12 years. I've worked as the Senior Loss Prevention Detective

with Macys North for the past three years doubling the external

apprehension numbers; I have also spent countless hours investigating and

interviewing employee internal cases. As part of my mission on averting

loss I've worked with the executive team holding monthly informative store

meetings with associate's going over high shortage area's and giving out

monthly security awards. Prior to that for 5 years, I investigated

fraudulent insurance claims for Framers Insurance, I prepared my findings

in different reports and forwarded them to the correct personal. Enclosed

you will find my resume, which will give you all the applicable information

about my qualifications for this position.

I want to thank you in advance for looking over my resume. I am seeking new

challenges and welcome the opportunity to interview for the position.

Sincerely

Chakela Lewis
