An employee theft workshop has been set for Thursday, Sept. 24, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Hampton Inn in Downtown Cape Coral.

Presentations will be offered by the Small Business Development Center, Cape Coral Police Department and the Florida State Attorney’s office.
Topics will include:
· How To Identify And Reduce Employee Theft,
· Encouraging Employees To Report Employee Theft
