I've had a couple of knives pulled on me while arresting shoplifters. It's always kinda scary. An LPO at my store got stabbed in the throat a few years back.
As a result, Tino and I make it VERY CLEAR to any shoplifter that if they put their hands anywhere near their pockets there will be hell to pay. It's usually safest if we just each grab an arm right away before anything can happen. After the long walk back to the security office, most shoplifters are usually compliant enough to tell us about any potential weapons and will allow us to take them away.
