CAP Index Partners with ABA, FMI, LPRC, and RLPSA in Industry Association Studies
 

CAP Index has always worked with leading trade associations to help them communicate important industry findings to their members through research studies, data analysis, and presentations at their annual meetings. Recent examples include:

American Bankers Association
CAP Index provides data analytics and quarterly industry reports to American Bankers Association Bank Capture subscribers. Developed in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), ABA Bank Capture is a collaborative initiative led by the ABA, an advisory board of member bankers, and law enforcement. ABA Bank Capture is a data-sharing platform for banks to report and analyze their robbery and other bank crime data.

Food Marketing Institute
We provided statistical analysis for the Food Marketing Institute's Employee and Customer Safety Metrics Survey covering workers' compensation and general liability bodily injury claims. The CAP Index analysis included OSHA recordable cases, DART cases and medically treated injuries. Additionally, the greatest injury types as well as injury causes were reported for individual departments within retail locations and distribution centers.

Loss Prevention Research Council
The Loss Prevention Research Council has typically done much of their own shrink/loss research and included our CAP Index Scores in their analyses. Recently, however, we were given the opportunity to work directly with four major retailers and the LPRC on a preliminary assessment of temporal and spatial robbery patterns across U.S. regions and Metropolitan Statistical Areas. The study illustrated that robbery rates are strongly correlated with the underlying risk of crime in each neighborhood as indicated by CAP Index Scores.

Restaurant Loss Prevention & Security Association
CAP Index has a long history of working with the Restaurant Loss Prevention & Security Association (formerly known as the National Food Service Security Council). Most recent examples of our collaboration include multiple robbery and burglary analysis reports that were presented at their annual conferences. Additionally, a preliminary security measure use survey was conducted earlier this year with the goal of exploring a more advanced countermeasure-related study in the future.
