Here are some examples
of why all minor decoys are to be accompanied into the store by an
undercover peace officer.
While the presence of
the officer may not prevent this from happening, it allows for someone
professionally trained to attempt to protect the minor, the clerk, and
other innocent customers.
It also places an
immediate responder on the premises to identify and recount what
occurred and facilitate pursuit of the offenders once the scene is
secured.
