The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Managers Take Lead on De-Escalation
Retail Managers Are Becoming the Front
Line in De-Escalation
 By
the D&D Daily staff
As retailers place greater emphasis on preventing workplace violence,
store managers are increasingly finding themselves at the center of
de-escalation efforts.
Managers have always handled difficult customers, but today's
confrontations can involve everything from return disputes and suspected
theft to policy disagreements, employee harassment and customers who
simply refuse to leave. In many cases, the manager is the first
person called when an interaction begins moving beyond a routine
customer service issue.
That reality is making de-escalation an increasingly important part of
frontline leadership.
Unlike security or asset protection professionals, store managers
typically balance safety responsibilities with dozens of operational
demands. They may be supervising employees, addressing customer
complaints and managing staffing issues when suddenly asked to intervene
in an escalating confrontation.
Retailers therefore have an incentive to make sure managers
understand not only how to calm a situation, but when to stop trying.
Effective de-escalation can include maintaining physical distance, using
calm and direct communication, avoiding unnecessarily confrontational
language and moving employees or customers away from a developing
conflict. Just as important is recognizing when continued engagement
could increase the danger.
Clear escalation procedures can help managers determine when to contact
security, asset protection or law enforcement and when employees should
disengage entirely.
The issue also extends beyond formal training. Retailers can examine
whether company policies unintentionally put managers in situations
where they feel obligated to resolve every confrontation themselves.
A manager who believes walking away represents poor customer service may
remain involved longer than is safe.
For loss prevention and asset protection teams, store managers can be
critical partners in violence prevention. They are often closest to
emerging problems and may recognize repeat behavior or escalating
tensions before anyone else.
As retailers continue strengthening workplace violence programs,
preparing managers to handle those critical first moments may be just as
important as the response that follows.
U.S. Property Crime Lowest Since 1960
Summarizing a Historic 2025 Crime Report with Charts & Tables
 The
FBI released its 2025 Crime in the United States report on a Friday
afternoon which wasn’t there fault but also was super great for getting
a ton of attention on the fact that murder fell at the fastest pace
ever recorded to the lowest rate recorded since the FBI started its
modern estimates.
It wasn’t just the US murder rate that has reached a historic low though
as clearly seen in the below table of every crime type.
There’s another way to visualize how far things have come though — bar
charts. I think it is helpful to look at the crimes that have fallen the
most over the last few years and truly see the change through the magic
of bar charts. To do that, I highlighted 2025 as well as the last time
each crime’s rate was as low as it was in 2025.
For example, property crime is the lowest its
been since at least 1960. The burglary rate, lowest since at least 1960.
The lowest theft rate since 1962.
All available evidence points to another large drop in nearly every
crime type occurring in 2026. The recently released Crime Index
sample of 590 agencies has murder down 17 percent, violent crime down
6 percent and property crime down 10 percent through June 2026.
This year is on track to be the fourth straight year with a
double-digit percentage point drop in murder. It may not set a new
record, but the drop in murder this year will likely exceed any year
prior to 2023 in terms of the largest drop in murders from one year to
the next.
Finally, I have to point out that clearance rates for murder, robbery
and burglary were the highest in decades.
Summing things up, I would say that 2023, 2024 and 2025 were all
historic in terms of declining crime and 2026 is looking like it will be
another historic year. Sometimes all it takes to see history is a
couple of bar charts (with some tables sprinkled in).

Sporting Goods Store Top Source of
Crime Guns?
In California’s biggest cities, Turner’s Outdoorsman is a top source
of crime guns
Turner’s Outdoorsman on Mohawk Street in Bakersfield, California,
sits on a busy intersection across from an oil drilling site. Over
the past three years, this sporting goods store sold more than
16,000 firearms — and also appeared hundreds of times during
criminal investigations as the source of guns found at crime scenes.
In Bakersfield alone, law enforcement traced 83 guns to the store
from 2023 to 2025, according to newly released data from the
California Department of Justice. That was the highest number for a
store with an active firearms dealer license in any of the state’s
10 most populous cities.
The Trace reported in May that the Turner’s Outdoorsman chain, which
has over 30 locations across California, accounted for a
disproportionate share of crime guns recovered in the state. The
state Department of Justice defines crime guns as those used in a
crime, suspected to have been used in a crime, or illegally
possessed.
The latest data adds a new dimension, showing the number of crime
guns traced to individual stores by law enforcement in the state’s
biggest cities.
The Turner’s on Mohawk Street has been in operation since late 2020.
The business that previously occupied that storefront, Second
Amendment Sports, which is no longer an actively licensed dealer,
had 100 sales traced to gun recoveries in Bakersfield. All
together, that means 183 firearms sold at that location were later
recovered by law enforcement as crime guns in the same city during
this three-year window. That number is higher than the combined
total of the top five dealers for any other city in the data,
including Los Angeles, Oakland, or San Diego
He added that tracking crime guns was a newer metric for the city’s
violence intervention workers. “That’s really what grabbed my
attention is to see how many guns actually can be traced back to
a local shop,” Avila said..

Property Crime Down 8% in LA
LASD data: Violent crime up, property crime down
The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department released crime data for the
first six months of 2026, which shows that violent crimes have
stayed up nearly 18% over the previous year, while property
crimes have seen a nearly 8% decrease, based on incidents
reported to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
The first six months of 2025 saw 1,609 Part-I crimes, which
encompasses property crimes and violent crimes including
everything from criminal homicide to larceny theft — compared to
1,536 for the first six months of this year.
That represents an overall decrease of about 4.5%, with the
biggest reduction coming in reports of grand theft auto. There also
was a big dropoff in burglaries, from 239 last year to 188
reported over the same six-month period in 2026.
The total number of property crimes declined by nearly 8%
over the past year for the SCV station, from 1,609 in 2025 to 1,536
in 2026.
The largest statistically significant increase in crime in 2026
continues to be in violent crime, for aggravated assaults.
The number of reported robberies throughout the SCV indicated a
5% decrease in a year-over-year comparison, and sexual assaults
also declined, after 2025 saw the number of reported rapes nearly
double over the previous year.

'2026 State of Physical Security
Report'
Genetec research finds retailers expanding physical security beyond
loss prevention
2026 State of Physical Security
Report finds retailers using physical security to improve
operations, support employee safety, and modernize aging
infrastructure
Genetec Inc. released retail-specific findings from its 2026 State
of Physical Security Report. Based on responses from retail
professionals worldwide, the research shows retailers
increasingly view physical security as a business function that
supports operations, employee safety, and modernization efforts—not
solely loss prevention.
While retailers continue to manage everyday security challenges
across stores, many are expanding how they use physical security
data to improve decision-making, increase operational efficiency,
and get more value from existing technology investments.
Retailers look beyond loss prevention
Retailers are increasingly looking beyond traditional loss
prevention metrics and using physical security data to improve
broader business outcomes. More than 60% of retailers identified
improving operational efficiency within the security department as a
primary objective for security data, while an equal percentage said
improving safety and security was a top priority. More than half
(55%) cited compliance, and nearly half (48%) said they are using
security data to improve the customer and employee experience.
Aging infrastructure is driving
modernization goals
Despite growing interest in AI and analytics, many retailers
remain focused on modernizing aging environments before expanding
their technology footprint.
The report found aging physical security infrastructure (40%),
training and upskilling staff (38%), attracting and hiring talent
(37%), and aging IT infrastructure (33%) ranked among retailers'
biggest operational challenges. These challenges are influencing
how retailers approach modernization.
Rather than replacing entire systems, retailers are pursuing
measured modernization strategies. Looking ahead, 54% of
retailers plan to leverage existing technology to address new
challenges, 51% intend to use AI to streamline security
processes, and 48% plan to evaluate new security systems for
specific use cases.
“Physical security is becoming a strategic business asset for
retailers, extending well beyond traditional loss prevention,”
said Scott Thomas, National Director for Signature Brands at
Genetec. “The retailers that will see the greatest return on their
security investments are those that treat modernization as an
ongoing strategy rather than a one-time project. By building on
existing infrastructure while introducing new capabilities, they can
adapt to changing business needs without sacrificing the value of
past investments.”

D&D Daily AI & LP/AP Industry
Survey
How Is AI Changing the Fight Against Retail Crime?
Take two minutes to help shape
the D&D Daily's first industry report examining AI, LP/AP and retail
crime prevention
 AI
is rapidly becoming part of the retail crime prevention toolkit —
supporting video analytics, fraud detection, investigations,
intelligence gathering, reporting and other critical LP/AP functions.
But how much is the industry actually using AI today? Where is it
making the biggest impact? And where do retail crime and loss prevention
professionals believe the technology is headed next?
The D&D Daily wants your perspective.
We’ve launched our first
Retail Crime
Prevention and AI Survey, a brief, two-minute industry survey
examining how artificial intelligence is being used to prevent, detect
and investigate retail crime.
The survey is open to retail asset protection, loss prevention,
security and law enforcement professionals and is focused on the
industry — not individual products or vendors. We want to understand
where AI is being deployed, what challenges organizations are
encountering and which applications professionals believe hold the
greatest potential for retail crime prevention.
And you don't need to be an AI expert to participate.
Whether your organization is already deploying AI, evaluating new
technologies or has barely begun exploring its potential, your
experience helps provide a clearer picture of where the industry
actually stands.
Survey results will form the foundation of the D&D Daily's inaugural
Retail Crime Prevention and AI Report, an executive overview
examining AI's growing role in the fight against retail crime.
The report will be published as both an interactive website and
downloadable PDF, featuring industry data, visualizations, key
findings and insights from senior leaders across retail and law
enforcement.
The more LP/AP and law enforcement professionals who participate, the
more meaningful that industry snapshot becomes.
It takes approximately two minutes. Help us capture where retail
crime prevention and AI stand today — and where they're going next.

Is Retail's Doom Loop in San
Francisco Over? Sort Of.
San Francisco retail landscape shifts as Union Square, Stonestown
see renewed life
While the downtown San Francisco
Centre remains boarded up, new streetwear brands and extended mall
hours are drawing shoppers to other districts.
Shopping has long been a pastime for visitors and locals alike in
San Francisco, but the city’s post-pandemic retail landscape is
actively shifting. While some shopping districts have emptied
out, others are expanding and bringing in new life.
In Union Square, international fashion brand A Bathing Ape
celebrated its grand opening with a block party featuring DJs and
games. The opening marks a bright spot for an area that took a hit
during the COVID-19 pandemic and the years following, suffering
from declining foot traffic, rising crime, and the loss of major
retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue.
More streetwear and experiential stores have been cropping up
in Union Square to fill the void. Last year, Nintendo opened its
first West Coast location in the district, and the San Francisco
Chronicle reports that fashion brand Kith is working to take over
the former Macy's Men's store.
Just blocks away on Market Street, however, it is a different story.
The once-busy San Francisco Centre remains boarded up. The
nine-story building closed in January, and a deal to buy the mall
fell through this summer.

AI's Impact on the Cybersecurity Job
Market
Cybersecurity job ads demanding AI skills double in a year
Job postings asking for AI skills in cybersecurity have doubled in a
single year in G7 countries according to new research from the
Cisco-founded AI Workforce Consortium.
Analysis from recruitment firms Cornerstone and Indeed covering 24
months, from April 2024 to March 2026, spans G7 markets. It found that
28.5% of cybersecurity job postings between October 2025 and March
2026 required AI skills, up from 14.2% in the same period a year
earlier.
An “agentic skill stack” is settling in as the baseline for
high-volume roles such as security engineering, cloud security, and
detection and response engineering. Five skills show up again and
again in AI-tagged postings: Python, prompt and context engineering, AI
security, agent orchestration, and machine learning operations.
Salary data from Lightcast, covering the same six-month window in the
US, put the median advertised pay for AI-skill postings 14.9% above
the median for cybersecurity postings overall.
Security Engineer and Cybersecurity Engineer/Analyst remain the two most
commonly listed roles in G7 cybersecurity postings, at 18% and 16% of
the total, followed by SOC Analyst at 12% and Cloud Security Engineer at
9%.
AI systems are absorbing the high-volume, repetitive parts of the SOC
analyst job: triaging alerts, correlating threat intelligence feeds,
and running standard decision-tree workflows. Omar Santos, a
Distinguished Engineer at Cisco, described this on the report’s expert
panel as one of the fastest-reshaped jobs in the field, with the analyst
becoming more of an orchestrator than a processor of alerts.
Postings asking for ethical reasoning grew 533% year-over-year.
Stakeholder engagement grew 125%. Asked what matters most for
entry-level workers by 2030, over half of the security leaders Cisco
surveyed named securing autonomous AI systems as the top skill, and half
named a strong technical foundation paired with the ability to keep
learning.

Mid-Market Companies Becoming Top
Target
Ransomware attackers are zeroing in on mid-market companies
Mid-sized companies accounted for 73% of publicly disclosed
ransomware and data-extortion incidents with known revenue in North
America and Europe between January 2023 and June 2026, according to
Black Kite.
The analysis covered 13,336 incidents with known revenue and defined
mid-market companies as businesses with annual revenue between $10
million and $1 billion. Their share of incidents remained between
72% and 75% throughout the period, showing that attacks on this part of
the market are a consistent problem.
More than half of mid-market victims had annual revenue between $10
million and $50 million. Manufacturing was the most affected
industry, accounting for more than a quarter of mid-market victims,
followed by professional, scientific and technical services and
construction.
Ransomware groups look for weaknesses that can provide a route into
company systems. Unpatched software, known vulnerabilities and
stolen login details can all give attackers an opening.
An assessment of more than 120,000 mid-market organizations found that
54.7% had at least one significant patch-management issue
affecting a public-facing system. More than a quarter had a
vulnerability already known to be exploited by attackers.
Stolen credentials create another route into business systems.
Nearly one-third of the monitored organizations had at least one
stealer-log finding, indicating credentials collected by
information-stealing malware. Attackers can use stolen login details to
access accounts, move through networks or prepare for further attacks.
helpnetsecurity.com
Phishing Method Evades Security
Fake bank websites play dead to evade security scanners
A phishing method, named Chameleon SEO Poisoning, that uses
manipulated search results and cloaked fake banking websites to steal
credentials while evading security scanners has been discovered by
Fortra.
The company’s threat intelligence unit, Fortra Intelligence and Research
Experts (FIRE), spent three months tracking the technique and reports a
40% jump in cases during the second quarter of 2026.
Attackers rank these pages for high-intent keywords such as “Bank Name
Customer Portal” or “Credit Card Login” on Google and Bing, using
standard SEO poisoning to climb above the legitimate site.
“It is important to clear up a common misconception here: these are
not compromised domains by nature. Instead, these domains are
typo-squats that have been recently registered on second-level domains (SLDs)
like .ph.com, .gr.com, and similar variants,” researchers said.
The danger comes from what researchers call presentation control, the
server’s ability to decide what a visitor sees based on how they
arrived. By serving different content depending on where the click came
from, the technique keeps standard security sweeps from spotting the
threat, letting poisoned search results stay active for days or
weeks, Fortra noted.

Russian E-Commerce Sector Targeted
Ukraine launches drone strikes on Russian e-commerce giant Ozon
Four logistics hubs in southern
Russia were attacked as Kyiv expanded its campaign against supply
networks it says support Moscow's military.
Russian e-commerce giant Ozon said four of its logistics hubs in
southern Russia were targeted by Ukrainian drones on Monday, as Kyiv
expanded a campaign aimed at disrupting Moscow's commercial supply
networks.
Drone debris also struck apartment buildings and set warehouses on
fire. A fire broke out at an Ozon centre in Makhachkala, the capital
of Russia's Dagestan region, after a drone attack at around 05:00 local
time, the company said.
Several people were wounded but their lives were not in danger,
according to Ozon, which said the facility had suspended operations.
A large fire was also reported at an Ozon logistics centre in
Enem, in the Krasnodar region, although staff were evacuated and no
casualties were reported. Warehouses in Adygeysk and Nevinnomyssk
were also evacuated because of the threat of drone attacks but
escaped damage.
Two children were killed and nine people injured, including seven
children, when drone debris hit a private childcare centre in Krasnodar
during the overnight attacks, regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev
said.
The latest incidents bring the total to six Ozon facilities targeted
since Saturday, when Ukraine announced it was turning its attention to
Russia's second-largest online marketplace after weeks of strikes
against rival Wildberries.
"After Ukrainian units hit the 15 largest logistics hubs of
Wildberries, it is now Ozon's turn," Ukraine's defence ministry
said.
