Strengthen Retail Security & Enhance Workplace Safety with
Off-Duty Law Enforcement
Discover how off-duty law
enforcement enhances safety and deters crime while protecting employees
and assets.
 Retailers
are under more pressure than ever to prevent theft, ensure employee
safety and maintain business continuity across stores. Criminal
activities are on the rise, and they can severely disrupt operations,
leading to financial losses and a tarnished reputation. Workplace
security not only safeguards assets and sensitive information but also
protects employees and visitors, fostering a safe and productive
environment.
Hiring
off-duty law enforcement is a proven way to level up your retail
security strategy. Off-duty personnel are uniquely positioned to deter
criminal activities, respond swiftly in emergencies and provide an added
layer of protection. By integrating off-duty law enforcement into your
security strategy, you can create a safer, more secure workplace
environment.
Protos Security's workplace security blog explores ways that
off-duty law enforcement can benefit retailers and increase workplace
safety.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Property Crime Continues to Trend
Lower in Early 2026
New national data shows broad declines across major property crime
categories
 By
the D&D Daily staff
New year-to-date data
from the Crime Index points to continued declines in reported
property crime across the United States, with every major category
showing lower totals compared with the same period last year. The
figures, covering January through April 2026, suggest the downward trend
seen in recent years has continued into the first four months of the
year.
Overall property crime fell 11.4% year over year, with 696,687
reported incidents compared with 786,350 during the same period in 2025.
The Crime Index defines property crime using the FBI’s Summary Reporting
System categories of burglary, theft and motor vehicle theft.
Among the individual offense categories, burglaries recorded one of
the largest declines, dropping 16.5% to 82,840 reported incidents.
Theft, which remains the largest property crime category by volume,
decreased 8.4% to 511,252 incidents. Motor vehicle theft posted the
steepest percentage decline, falling 20.3% to 102,595 reported offenses.
The Crime Index compiles data from participating law enforcement
agencies nationwide and publishes current crime trends before annual FBI
estimates become available. Its historical data also shows property
crime has generally followed a long-term downward trajectory over
the past several decades, despite periodic fluctuations in individual
offense categories.
For retailers, the broader decline in reported property crime provides
additional context as companies continue investing in loss prevention
technologies, organized retail crime investigations and partnerships
with law enforcement. While national crime statistics encompass a
much wider range of offenses than retail theft alone, trends in burglary
and theft remain closely watched by the retail industry.
As always, national figures may differ from local conditions.
Individual communities can experience crime patterns that vary
significantly from nationwide averages, making local intelligence, data
sharing and targeted prevention strategies important components of
effective retail security programs.

Addressing Root Causes of Shoplifting
Why you cannot fix the shoplifting crisis without addressing
homelessness and addiction
Is it ever possible to tackle crimes
like shoplifting without tackling social issues such as poverty and
homelessness?
The fact that in London 104 repeat offenders were responsible for
more than 5,300 retail crimes over the past two years is not a
surprise to our organisation.
We have been raising the alarm about repeat low-level offending for over
a decade. The retail crime crisis is in part, the visible result of
the UK’s inertia ‘supporting’ people with multiple disadvantage.
When people experiencing crisis don’t fit neatly into a pathway or
sector, we struggle to provide the intensive support they so urgently
need. Years of neglectful policy-coasting has funded failure and
resulted in an unavoidable consequence of rising reoffending.
We agree with Met Police Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist that “the
system needs to change’” Revolving Doors suggest we start by
tackling the root cause of these crimes.
Prolific low-level offenders, like shoplifters, are far from a
homogenous group. There are serious concerns about organised crime –
yes, however the well-known truth is that a significant amount of repeat
shop theft is linked to people in deep crisis, addiction,
homelessness, poor mental health, trauma and poverty – the revolving
door group.
People in this revolving door typically commit acquisitive crime,
often to fund addictions and because of other unmet needs. As they are
not the most dangerous offenders, they tend not to qualify for intense
interventions and services are generally too segregated to work together
to help them, so they simply slip through the net.
Opportunistic thieving and organised attacks on supermarkets are a
shock to witness and experience as a staff member but these two
retail crime groups (organised or opportunistic) need different
responses. The most important factor being that local services know who
the individuals at the sharp end of crisis are and understand that they
need holistic support.
Neighbourhoods, authorities and services hold crucial knowledge on
individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction that can be focussed
into urgent impact. ‘Bobbies on the beat’ know who need intensive
support on their patch and are increasingly desperate and advocating for
more impactful solutions to stop reoffending because repeated
prosecution and sentencing is offering no respite, taking precious time
away from more serious offences and community justice.

Shoplifting Epidemic Across the Pond
UK: Retail Crime Running Riot Warns Labour As Shoplifting And Assaults
Rise
Retail crime is “running riot” as shoplifting and assaults on staff
have risen in the past year, Scottish Labour has said.
Scottish Government figures published on Tuesday showed the number of
shoplifting crimes recorded by police rose 19% in 2025-26. There has
also been an increase in the number of assaults on retail workers,
rising by 10% in a year.
The number of assaults on retail workers which caused an injury has
increased by 18%. Scottish Labour justice spokeswoman Pauline
McNeill said the SNP must “wake up to this growing crisis”.
She said: “Retail crime is running riot in Scotland, putting workers at
risk and leaving businesses out of pocket. “The Retail Crime
Taskforce has a role to play, but these damning figures show it is no
silver bullet."
“The SNP must wake up to this growing crisis and deliver real action
to protect shopworkers and tackle shoplifting. Too often police are
stuck waiting around in court and A&E waiting rooms instead of being out
in our communities."
“We need a real plan to strengthen policing, support businesses and
improve community safety.”

Canada's Battle Against Retail
Theft
Businesses applaud Ottawa’s tougher bail, sentencing laws aimed at
retail theft
The federal government says it’s heard loud and clear that public
safety is an “issue of grave concern” and has brought in legislation
to combat retail theft and violence against transit workers.
Business associations in the Halifax region are applauding the Bail
and Sentencing Reform Act (Bill C-14), after having spoken out
repeatedly, calling for more to be done to stop such crimes in the
city’s downtown.
Federal Justice Minister and Attorney General Sean Fraser told reporters
in Halifax Thursday that stricter bail and sentencing legislation
across Canada aims to alleviate pressures on businesses.
“These changes are going to have a positive impact by reducing the
prevalence of repeat offenders and by communicating very clearly
before a crime is committed that the consequences will be serious,” said
Fraser.
The bail and sentencing reforms will impact charges connected to
organized crime, home invasion, car theft, and human trafficking.
Retail theft connected to organized crime will be considered an
aggravating factor and could lead to tougher sentencing.
Violence against front-line transit workers will also be
considered an aggravating factor.

Security Culture Strengthens Retail
Operations
Building a Stronger Security Culture Starts With Every Employee
By
the D&D Daily staff
Retail security has traditionally been viewed as the responsibility of
loss prevention professionals, security teams and store leadership.
Increasingly, however, retailers are recognizing that creating a
safer, more secure environment depends on building a security-minded
culture that includes every employee.
From the sales floor to the stockroom, associates are often the first
to notice unusual activity, safety hazards or operational concerns.
Providing employees with the knowledge and confidence to recognize and
report these issues can strengthen both security efforts and day-to-day
operations.
Many retailers are expanding training beyond traditional topics
such as emergency procedures and workplace safety. Newer programs often
include situational awareness, de-escalation techniques, cybersecurity
awareness, inventory protection, fraud recognition and clear reporting
protocols. The goal is not to turn associates into investigators, but to
help them understand their role in protecting people, products and
company assets.
Communication also plays an important role. Organizations are
increasingly using mobile communication platforms, digital reporting
tools and regular team discussions to share timely information about
emerging risks, operational changes and best practices. When employees
understand why security procedures exist—and see leadership consistently
reinforcing them—they are more likely to follow established processes.
Recognition can be just as important as training. Retailers that
acknowledge employees for identifying safety concerns, reporting
operational issues or following security procedures help reinforce
positive behaviors. Over time, these actions contribute to a workplace
where security becomes part of everyday decision-making rather than a
separate function.
Technology continues to support these efforts through tools such
as mobile reporting applications, video analytics, electronic access
controls and workforce communication platforms. While these solutions
can improve visibility and response times, they are most effective when
paired with engaged employees who understand how and when to use them.
As retail environments continue to evolve, organizations are finding
that effective loss prevention is not built solely on technology or
dedicated security teams. A strong security culture—supported by
consistent training, open communication and employee engagement—can help
retailers reduce risk while creating a safer experience for both
associates and customers.
Closures To Outpace Openings in 2026?
(Updated) More than 1,000 stores are set to open across the US in 2026
While some retailers are scaling
back in 2026, others are expanding their footprints across the US.
The success of discount retailers like Dollar General and Nordstrom Rack
suggests that American consumers are rewarding retailers that can
offer them deals over those that charge full price for groceries and
apparel. Big box stores like Target and Walmart, and warehouse clubs
like Costco, are also upping their investments in store remodels and
openings for 2026 and beyond.
For now, 2026 store closures appear on track to outpace openings,
with over 2,000 planned closures announced so far, by Business Insider's
count. In 2025, store closures reached over 4,100.
While retailers like Macy's cut back on stores to focus on their
digital footprint, these chains are spending money to expand their
physical retail presence.

Mall Closes Over Safety Violations
Troubled Central Texas mall suddenly shut down over serious safety
violations
A Central Texas mall with an uncertain future has been ordered to
temporarily close after facing a series of violations. "The City of
Temple has ordered the temporary closure of the Temple Mall due to
unresolved fire and building code violations affecting critical life
safety systems," the city posted to Facebook on Monday.
The Temple Fire Mashal's Office issued a 30-day notice to Temple Mall on
May 22, advising that the property would be ordered to vacate if
identified deficiencies were not corrected.
"Following continued inspections, those deficiencies remain
unresolved," the city wrote.
The temporary closure, which took effect Tuesday, will remain until
the owners correct the violations and the property meets the applicable
fire and building code requirements. Dillard's is open and remains
unaffected by the closure.

AI Poses Growing Risk to Companies
Companies keep bolting AI onto their products, and the security bill is
coming due
Companies keep bolting AI and LLM features onto their products, and the
security results are starting to show a pattern. The
vulnerabilities those features create get rated high risk far more often
than anything else, and they get fixed slower than anything else. The
figures come from Cobalt’s AI and Pentesting Pulse Report 2026, built on
five years of penetration testing data and a survey of 455 security
leaders and practitioners.
A risk rate that holds at 2.7 times the average
AI applications stack new weaknesses on top of old ones. They
keep every flaw of conventional software and add a fresh set. A web app
with an LLM wired into it can still be hit by SQL injection, cross-site
scripting, and broken authentication. It can now also be hit by prompt
injection, insecure output handling, and model-level denial of service.
Across Cobalt’s dataset, the high-risk rate for AI and LLM pentests
runs at 2.7 times the rate for every other kind of system. That gap
has held for two straight years. About one in three AI findings earns a
high-risk label. For other systems, the share sits near one in eight.
Two of every three serious findings stay open
Finding the problems turns out to be the easy part. Fixing them is
where AI trails everything else. AI and LLM pentests carry the
lowest resolution rate Cobalt tracks, landing at 38.4% in 2026. Two of
every three serious findings stay open and exploitable.
The rate nearly doubled over the year, the biggest jump of any asset
class. That counts as progress from last place. It still trails the
next category by double digits and sits far below API and web testing,
where most serious findings get resolved.
Three things hold the rate down. Too few staff understand both
security and AI systems. The fix often runs through a model vendor
when the flaw lives in the model. Most AI projects are new, with
security processes that have yet to mature. The median time to close one
of these findings nearly doubled as well, a sign that teams are taking
on harder cases that need more digging.
Shadow AI leads the incident list:

Giving AI Too Much Power?
Most teams accept higher risk for faster AI database work
Database professionals are using AI for everyday work like writing
queries, building schemas, and reviewing code, and a growing share rely
on autonomous tools that act on the database itself. The use of AI in
database management has almost tripled in a year, climbing from 15% to
44% of organizations, according to Redgate’s 2026 State of the
Database Landscape report. That puts AI inside the systems holding an
organization’s most sensitive data, often with permission to change that
data directly.
The security problem here is one the people running these systems
already see coming. Data security ranks as their top worry about AI,
named by close to two-thirds of respondents and by even more of those
whose organizations have yet to adopt it. The same group is going
ahead anyway. A majority accept higher data security risk in exchange
for the speed AI gives them, a choice many made before the controls were
in place to support it.
Most of the attention on AI in this space goes to generative tools that
draft code and queries. The sharper issue is the next category. A
majority of organizations use autonomous AI and agents, software
that can operate on database systems with limited human review of each
action. These tools handle data quality work, schema design, and
automation, and almost every organization reports getting something
useful out of them.
“AI can be the good and the bad here. It can analyze threats and find
issues automatically, so it can strengthen my own system’s security. The
concern is mainly how people deal with it (like uploading confidential
information to ChatGPT), or when you give it too much power.
Granting AI the permissions to automatically fix everything means it can
potentially also cause huge damage,” said Ben Weissman, CEO, Solisyon.

The Danger of Chatbots
Sycophantic chatbots and the harms that build over many chats
People use AI chatbots for company, advice, and emotional support,
and these systems answer in ways meant to hold their attention.
Researchers describe the resulting risks as affective safety, a class of
harm that exists because humans are emotional beings and because the
systems engage directly with that emotional life. The damage happens
during ordinary use, with no breach and no intruder. These systems work
as designed, optimizing for the goals their builders set, and the harm
comes out of that optimization.
Harm that builds over time
The strongest evidence concerns harm that accumulates across many
interactions. Molly Russell, a 14-year-old from London, died in 2017
from an act of self-harm after viewing large amounts of depression,
self-harm, and suicide content on Instagram and Pinterest. A UK coroner
ruled in 2022 that this content contributed to her death and found that
platform algorithms pushed harmful material she had not requested. In
2024 New York City filed legal action against TikTok, Instagram,
Facebook, Snapchat, and YouTube, claiming their recommendation systems
contribute to higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation
among young users.
A single recommendation in these sequences looks harmless on its own.
The harm lives in the accumulation, the loop, and the gradual
displacement of a person’s own responses by the system’s pattern.
Content moderation and single-turn safety checks examine one output at a
time, so a sequence that stays under any single threshold passes
through. The pattern resembles slow intrusions that avoid detection by
keeping each action small.

Fake Retailers Boosted by AI
As AI-Backed Fake Retailers Pollute the Internet, What Are the
Solutions?
Fraudulent business practices and the scam artists behind them may be
nothing new in the world of commerce, but a new trend brought about by
the advance of technology is: AI-created fake retailers and brands
are proliferating across the web and social media, often leveraging
consumers’ empathy and emotion to rope unsuspecting victims into a
purchase.
Facebook and other similar social media platforms are rife with these
sorts of fake retail operations, with Meta’s own late 2024 data
suggesting that 10% of its total revenue was derived from scam ads
(and Wall Street Journal data suggesting, as of mid-2025, that 70% of
new ads on Meta platforms either promoted “scams, poor quality products
or illicit goods,” per FOX 59).
In a more recent report issued by Forbes contributor Catherine Erdly,
the latest iteration of dishonest retail practices spreading across the
internet are so-called “ghost stores,” or e-comm businesses which use
AI-created imagery, reviews, testimonials, and websites to
misrepresent themselves as small businesses, often local. Erdly set the
scene:
“Ready to focus on their new roles as grandparents, a couple shared a
heartfelt message with customers as they close their boutique doors with
one final sale: ‘It’s with a heavy heart that we share this message with
you. After years of love and care poured into this little shop, it’s
time for us to close,’” she began.
“At first glance, everything looks genuine. The emotional farewell.
The photo of the owners. But on second glance, things don’t add up.
Despite the title referencing a local town, the shipping details note
that orders are dispatched from their warehouse in Central Asia. A
closer look at the photo suggests the smoothness and uniformity of an
AI-generated image,” she added.

Amazon Robotics Push
EXCLUSIVE: Q&A with VP of Amazon Robotics on company’s robotics strategy
Amazon supports fast delivery and
heavy order volumes with a growing fleet of advanced fulfillment robots.
Chain Store Age recently visited Amazon’s Boston-area robotics R&D and
manufacturing hub in Westborough, Mass. to take a first-hand look at the
latest advances in the robots the retailer uses in its fulfillment
centers. During the visit, which took place on the first day of Amazon
Prime Day 2026, we spoke with Scott Dresser, VP of Amazon Robotics,
to get deeper insight into the online giant’s robotics strategy.
What are the key guiding principles of Amazon's
robotics program?
Safety is always first. We need to make sure that the systems and the
robotics that we develop are safe around our associates, because they
are inherently in the same spaces as our associates. There was a lot
of design iteration about how to make a system that had safe sensors and
software so that we could reliably test it and verify it to make sure
that was safe around people.
Amazon also thinks about speed. Customers love speed, they love
ordering products and getting them in as little as 30 minutes, which
they can in some cases. Robots enable us to build fulfillment operations
that are denser and closer to our customers, and that combined with
artificial intelligence and work we're doing in inventory placement
means that we can provide transportation times that are much less than
they would be otherwise.

Wilmington, DE: Man accused of running a $70K organized retail theft
operation
A man has been arrested and charged following a months-long organized
retail theft investigation involving multiple businesses throughout New
Castle County, Delaware, police said. According to Delaware State
Police, in March 2026, their criminal investigations unit received
information that Eric Tillman, 65, of Wilmington, was recruiting
individuals struggling with drug addiction to steal merchandise from
retail stores in exchange for a fraction of the items’ retail value.
During the investigation, police said detectives determined that Tillman
targeted numerous retailers throughout New Castle County, including,
Giant, Walgreens, CVS, Target, and the Kenny Family ShopRite stores.
The investigation also revealed that Tillman transported the stolen
merchandise to a storage unit in New Jersey before reselling the items
at multiple flea markets throughout the state, according to police. On
June 8, 2026, detectives located Tillman in Wilmington and took him into
custody, police said. Following his arrest, police said detectives
executed search warrants at his Wilmington residence, a New Jersey
storage unit, and two vehicles. Detectives found around 4,317 items
of suspected stolen merchandise with an estimated retail value of
$70,292.36. After Tillman was taken into custody, he was charged
with organized retail crime, receiving stolen property, and
second-degree conspiracy. Police said he was released on a $8,000
unsecured bond.

Polk County, FL: Tesla, BMW, And 16 Arrests: How A $40 Wawa Snack Theft
Unraveled For Florida Airbnb Guests
A trip to a Polk County convenience store ended in a mass arrest on
Friday, June 26, 2026, when Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputies
detained 12 adults and three juveniles at the Davenport Wawa on Old Lake
Wilson Road. According to investigators, the group had been staying
together at a local Airbnb while visiting the area from various other
counties across Florida. Store employees alerted authorities after
witnessing the individuals walking through the business and concealing
bottled drinks and food inside their clothing. Police reports indicate
the group arrived at the location in three separate vehicles—a BMW, a
Tesla, and a Honda Accord—and all appeared to know one another. When
deputies arrived, the suspects were still in the parking lot preparing
to leave in their vehicles. Law enforcement secured the area,
interviewed the individuals, and recovered both unconsumed items and
empty containers. All 15 suspects subsequently admitted to taking the
items, and deputies retrieved the store’s video surveillance footage,
which documented the coordinated effort.

DeLand, FL: ‘Mini hardware store’: Two arrested after stolen tools found
in DeLand home, deputies say
Two men are facing felony charges after they allegedly stockpiled
thousands of dollars’ worth of stolen merchandise from Lowe’s inside a
DeLand home. According to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, an
investigation into the retail theft incident allegedly revealed that a
suspect, identified as 29-year-old Tyler Cherry, had fraudulently
obtained Lowe’s credit cards. The agency added that Cherry and a
25-year-old accomplice, identified as Jared Bennett, reportedly used
those fraudulent Lowe’s cards to steal numerous tools and other items
from the home improvement retailers. The scope of the operation was
uncovered in March 2026 when detectives executed a search warrant at a
residence located at 342 S Sans Souci Avenue in DeLand, according to
VCSO. During the search, investigators allegedly discovered what they
described as a “mini hardware store.” In photos shared by the agency on
social media, stacks of brand-new DeWalt power tools, circular saws,
rolled wire, and other hardware supplies are observed inside the
searched residence.

Shootings & Deaths
Fairbank, AK: Armed man fatally shot by law enforcement in Fairbanks mall
parking lot, police say
A 31-year-old man was fatally shot by law enforcement officers near a Fairbanks
shopping center Sunday evening, Fairbanks police say. The shooting took place
just after 6 p.m. in the parking lot of the Bentley Mall, according to a
statement from the Fairbanks Police Department. Two officers from the
department, as well as one Alaska State Trooper, fired their weapons, both
agencies said. Police identified the man as Brandon Michael Roberts in an update
Monday afternoon. The encounter began after a probation officer called 911 to
say he had spotted Roberts, who was wanted on a probation warrant related to a
prior burglary, the update said. The officer also told dispatchers that it
appeared Roberts, a convicted felon, was carrying a gun, the department said.
The probation officer provided updates as police and troopers responded to the
area of the mall, located on College Road, according to the update. “Moments
after arriving, officers spotted Roberts, who immediately fled on foot,” the
update said. “Officers pursued him and, just moments later, Roberts pointed a
handgun towards a police officer.” Two police officers and one trooper fired at
Roberts, striking him several times, according to the department.
