I'm looking to develop a policy that provides what procedures our museum should follow if a theft of a cultural resource occurs. Such a policy would include whether a museum should contact the authorities, which authorities should a museum contact, should an investigation be launched and what would be the procedures in such an investigation. If anyone out there has a theft policy, I would appreciate any insight or ideas you might have for developing such a policy. I would also greatly appreciate any samples of theft policies that could be sent to me.
