Have you seen this week’s viral smash-and-grab robbery? There’s a new one almost every week.
Retail theft has become a constant operational threat and loss prevention is no longer a back-office function. It’s a leadership priority.
The reality is simple: theft hurts inventory. It shakes customer trust, impacts employee safety, and puts pressure on boards and bottom lines. Is your team equipped to respond?
This month, we’re focusing on retail theft in all its forms, shoplifting, organized retail crime (ORC), smash-and-grabs, sweethearting, gift card fraud, and how top retail leaders are adapting in real time.
The holiday season is weeks away. Now is the time to pressure-test your loss prevention strategy before foot traffic surges, staffing shifts, and opportunistic theft spikes.
What We’re Covering
These are the questions we hear from executives, security heads, and risk leaders every day:
- What kinds of theft are costing us the most and what are we missing?
- How are organized groups choosing their targets?
- What actually works to stop theft without burning out staff or driving away customers?
- Should we invest in tech, training, or more personnel?
- What are high-performing retail security programs doing differently?
