4 hrs confidence:   peer agreement (net): +2 | shrink hotline teléfono de emergencia para la denuncia de hurtos de mercancías
Explanation:
Valdría también "línea de emergencia", y tal vez también "línea/teléfono de atención". Sin duda hay muchas posibles variantes. Pero la cuestión aquí es el sentido de "shrink".
Sí que puede significar "psiquiatra" en lenguaje coloquial, y se ha planteado a veces (generalmente en broma) la noción de un teléfono de emergencia para los que requieren urgentemente atención psiquiátrica. Pero en este contexto significa otra cosa.
"Shrink" se refiere al hurto de mercancías de un comercio, bien por parte de los clientes (raterías), bien de los empleados (lo que se llama "pilfering" en inglés). El sentido es que las existencias "se encogen" ("shrink"). Está relacionado con "shrinkage", en el sentido de "reduction or depreciation in quantity".
"Prevent shrink with a variety of solutions
As pharmacies and drug stores have diversified and taken on new lines, they have been forced to fight shrink on several new fronts. In addition to traditional at-risk products as razor blades, medications and cosmetics, pharmacies now have to protect against theft of food, beverages and electronics, to name a few.
Checkpoint serves more than 90 percent of drug and pharmacy retailers in the U.S. From advanced EAS systems with dual-frequency alarms and high-performance, small-form-factor EP Labels to innovative solutions for high-theft merchandise"

"One major problem I have encountered is having an employee steal from our store. Victoria’s Secret has many safeguards in place to prevent Shrink from occurring, but it is not fail proof. When I discovered what this associate was doing I immediately reported it to our Shrink hotline and called m Store manager. I told her what was going on and did my part to stop it from happening."

"If I know that someone called the shrink hotline just to get the manager fired or wrote up and there was an investigation and in the investigation the loss prevention guy uses intimidation."

Por cierto, "call to the Shrink Hotline to place your denounce" no es correcto; debería ser "call the Shrink Hotline to make your complaint" o "to report the theft", o algo así.

Sobre la idea de una "Shrink Hotline" como servicio psiquiátrico, me ha hecho gracia lo siguiente:
"BAD TASTE; SHRINK'S HOTLINE
It's almost impossible to speak to a real person on the phone nowadays - people communicate even with their friends by leaving messages on each other's answer machines.
But nowhere is this plague of the 90s more maddening than businesses who offer a list of options. You press the number for the right department only to get the same nasal, snobby female offering another list of choices.
It's enough to drive a person mad. So imagine how hard it is if you are mad...
Recording: "Hello, Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline.
BLEEP! "If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press 1 repeatedly.
BLEEP! "If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2.
BLEEP! "If you have multiple personalities, please press 3, 4, 5 and 6.
BLEEP! "If you are paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you want. Just stay on the line until we can trace the call.
BLEEP! "If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press.
BLEEP! "If you are manic-depressive, it doesn't matter which number you press. No one will answer.
BLEEP! "Or hold to be connected to the Samaritans."
