About This Webinar

Facial recognition technology is one of the most talked-about tools in retail loss prevention right now. It's also one of the most misunderstood.

Too expensive. Too biased. Too complicated. Too legally risky. Sound familiar?

Join us for a straight-talk session where we're taking the most common myths about FRT head-on — and letting the data, the technology, and real-world deployment experience do the talking.

You'll hear from a technology expert who's deep in the algorithm and a loss prevention practitioner who's actually running it on the floor. No sales pitch. Just answers.

What we'll cover:
• Why lab accuracy numbers don't mean anything without real-world testing
• The truth about bias — and how to verify a vendor's claims
• What deployment actually costs (hint: probably less than you think)
• How legal and privacy concerns get resolved in practice
• What separates systems that work from systems that just look good in a demo

Who should attend: Loss prevention directors, asset protection leaders, and retail security decision-makers who want facts, not hype.

Christopher Ochs

Director of Product Management

Loss Prevention Technologist specializing in the design, deployment, and operationalization of AI, computer vision, and enterprise technology systems built to combat retail loss and organized retail crime.

My career began in store-level Loss Prevention, investigating incidents, managing teams, and protecting physical environments. Over time, I recognized that the future of Asset Protection would not be driven solely by people and policy, but by technology. That realization led me to bridge the gap between Loss Prevention operations and advanced technology development.

Today, I work at the intersection of retail risk and emerging technology, helping design and deliver systems that identify threats, enable real-time awareness, and transform how retailers prevent loss. My work has focused on computer vision, facial recognition, exception analytics, and enterprise risk platforms deployed across large-scale retail environments.

What differentiates my perspective is operational credibility. I have lived the challenges faced by store teams, investigators, and Asset Protection leaders. This allows me to translate real-world operational needs into technology that is practical, deployable, and impactful.

I specialize in:

• Translating Loss Prevention workflows into deployable technology solutions
• Designing AI and computer vision systems for real-world retail environments
• Bridging engineering teams and operational stakeholders
• Driving adoption of technology that moves organizations from reactive investigation to proactive prevention

My mission is simple: build and deploy technology that makes retail environments safer, more resilient, and better equipped to prevent loss before it occurs.

The future of Loss Prevention will be defined by technology. My focus is ensuring that technology is built by people who understand the operational reality it is meant to serve.
