How It Works

Once your court or agency is set up with 3rd Millennium Classrooms, it’s simple and easy to implement our shoplifting intervention class for diversion. 

  1. Offender logs in – Offender uses a Student Instruction Handout to sign up and log in to the course at dev.3rdmil.com. As an administrator, you can download and print the Student Instruction Sheets to give to offenders or they can be emailed directly for a fully contactless experience
  2. Offender completes the course –  STOPLifting takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete, and offenders can log in and out as needed. The course is accessible from anywhere and at any time– from their computer, phone, or tablet.
  3. Automatic completion verification – After the course is completed, the completion certificate can be submitted by the offender or sent directly to your court or agency staff.

STOPLifting helps an offender create an action plan to avoid shoplifting again. A tailored, confidential My Summary report is generated from the offender’s responses about their habits and motivations.. Offenders can choose to share this report with a counselor for support as a second level of intervention or as follow-up support.
