The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Coming Next Week!
Previewing the D&D Daily's 'Retail
Violent Fatalities Report'
Retail Violence Trends: Will 2025 Reverse 2024’s Progress?
 By
the D&D Daily staff
Retail violence remains one of the most serious safety challenges facing
the industry, and the key question for us was whether 2025 would be a
continuation of the progress seen in 2024 — or if the trend moves
back in the wrong direction again.
After several years of rising violent incidents tied to retail
locations, our
2024 Retail Violent Fatalities Report saw a decline in
retail-related fatalities. For many loss prevention and asset
protection professionals, the shift offered cautious optimism that
expanded safety training, improved awareness and stronger coordination
with law enforcement might be helping stabilize a troubling trend.
But as 2025 unfolded, questions began to emerge about whether
that decline would hold. Our
Mid-Year 2025 Retail Violent Fatalities Report, for example, saw
a 25% uptick in retail fatalities.
The upcoming D&D Daily Retail Violent Fatalities Report takes
a closer look at fatal incidents connected to retail locations across
the United States over the past year. The report examines where
these incidents occurred, the types of retail environments involved and
the broader patterns shaping retail violence.
One important takeaway is that these incidents extend far beyond
employee safety alone. Retail stores function as public spaces where
large numbers of people interact every day, meaning violent incidents
can involve customers, suspects, associates or bystanders caught
in dangerous situations.
The report also highlights how certain retail formats continue to
face elevated risks due to operating hours, staffing levels or the
nature of the goods sold. For loss prevention teams, these realities
make situational awareness and violence prevention training increasingly
critical parts of store operations.
Geography is another factor. Some cities and states appear more
frequently in fatal incident reporting, reflecting broader crime
trends that can influence risk levels for retailers operating in those
markets.
For the retail industry, the data reinforces an important point:
violence prevention has become just as important as traditional theft
deterrence strategies.
The full D&D Daily Retail Violent Fatalities Report is set to release
this month and will provide a deeper analysis of the incidents that
shaped the past year and the patterns emerging across the retail
landscape.
For many in the industry, the central question remains: after the
decline seen in 2024, will 2025 continue that progress — or signal a
troubling reversal for retail safety?
Retailers Deploy Bodycams to Fight
Rising Theft & Incivility
As Theft and Customer Incivility Rise, Bodycam Adoption in Retail will
Climb
A YouGov poll of American adults from mid-2025 revealed a notable shift
in sentiment around body-worn cameras. Once considered the domain of law
enforcement, bodycams are now increasingly visible across everyday
environments — from stores to medical offices, transit systems and
venues. And it turns out that people are in favor: according to YouGov,
70% of respondents are either comfortable with, or indifferent to,
seeing body-worn cameras worn by employees in more settings.
The National Retail Federation (NRF) and Loss Prevention Research
Council’s October 2025 report, The Impact of Retail Theft & Violence
2025, highlighted how theft, organized retail crime and in-store
violence remain persistent and costly challenges for retailers. For
those navigating rising theft and customer incivility, the shift in
perception of bodycams removes one of the biggest barriers to
adoption — paving the way for more deployments in 2026 and beyond.
Early retail deployments of bodycams focused on stores that were
considered high-risk – those with a track record of higher theft or
incidents of violence. But the scope is widening today as retailers take
a more proactive approach to deterring incivility before it happens.
Major retailers including H&M, Target, Walmart and Aldi all have
publicly acknowledged their use of bodycams as part of their loss
prevention strategies.
The appeal is clear: Bodycams introduce a visible deterrent at the
point of interaction. When potential offenders know an encounter is
being recorded, behavior often changes. In fact, according to the
aforementioned YouGov research, 44% of respondents admitted they would
think twice about their behavior if they knew employees were wearing
body-worn cameras.
Situations de-escalate faster. Associates feel more confident
enforcing policies. And when there is an incident, having objective
footage provides an unbiased, thorough record for internal review, law
enforcement collaboration and legal proceedings — should it get to that
point. Importantly, bodycams don’t replace existing security
infrastructure — they complement it. Fixed cameras show what happened
from afar; body-worn cameras capture an up-front live view of how it
unfolded and what was said.

FBI Buying Our Location Data
Why is the FBI buying people’s location data and how is it using the
information?
FBI director revealed agency had
resumed buying private information en masse in possible constitutional
violation
Kash Patel’s disclosure on Wednesday that the FBI has resumed buying
location data on Americans has many people, including members of
Congress, wondering: how does private information get into the hands of
the US government in the first place – and how can federal law
enforcement use that information to track peoples’ whereabouts?
Federal law enforcement agencies generally must obtain a warrant,
which requires establishing probable cause in the eyes of a judge,
to gather historical or real-time cellphone location data. The US
supreme court has ruled that the fourth amendment to the US
constitution, which protects against “unreasonable search and seizure”,
prohibits the warrantless collection of individuals’ location histories.
Buying such information, usually en masse, can circumvent this
requirement, leading many privacy advocates to label the practice
unconstitutional.
The FBI director’s admission came in response to a question from Ron
Wyden, a Democratic senator of Oregon and a longtime opponent of the
warrantless surveillance of Americans. Wyden told Patel that his
predecessor, Christopher Wray, testified in 2023 that the FBI did not
at that time purchase location data derived from internet advertising,
although he acknowledged that it had done so in the past.

Trump Urges Congress to Pass New Crime
Bill
Trump Calls for Law Cracking Down on Crime and ‘Rogue Judges’
Ahead of the midterms, President
Trump told a Republican gathering that he wants to go after repeat
offenders and “rogue judges that are criminals.”
President Trump escalated his attacks on judges on Wednesday, calling
on Republican lawmakers to pass a crime bill that “cracks down on rogue
judges.”
“The time has also come for Republicans to pass a tough new crime bill
that imposes harsh penalties for dangerous
repeat offenders, cracks down on rogue judges. We got rogue
judges that are criminals. They are criminals, what they do to our
country. The decisions that they hand down and hurt our country,” Mr.
Trump said at a National Republican Congressional Committee event in
Washington.
Mr. Trump has previously said that he would not sign any legislation
until a strict voter identification bill was passed, saying that it
would “guarantee the midterms” for his party. He appeared to suggest
that a crime bill could be handled after the midterms. Mr. Trump
said on Wednesday that “if we get a few more votes,” then “we could do
things that would be a miracle. We got to get out and win.”

Smarter Access and Asset Control in
Retail
Rethinking access and asset management in retail security
Retail operations are being reshaped by a fundamental shift in
consumer behavior.
Today’s shoppers move fluidly between channels, browsing online,
purchasing in store, picking up curbside, returning items through
different locations and expecting every interaction to feel fast,
consistent and effortless.
From the customer’s perspective, retail is no longer a collection of
channels. It is a single, continuous experience.
As retailers respond to this shift, access and asset management are
increasingly viewed not as isolated controls, but as part of a cohesive
operational framework.
Efficiency is no longer achieved by forcing a single access model across
every environment. Instead, it comes from aligning different systems, so
they work together, each supporting the specific demands of its context.
This distinction is especially important when considering access models.
On the sales floor, retailers are increasingly adopting streamlined
access approaches to reduce friction and support faster customer
interactions.
At the same time, retail leaders recognize that certain environments
require more structured control. Storage cages, fleet vehicles and
shared operational assets often involve higher replacement costs,
regulatory considerations or the need for explicit chain of custody
tracking.
In these contexts, controlled access and audited handoff processes
remain essential. Rather than slowing operations, these controls
provide clarity and reliability where risk and complexity increase.
Operational maturity comes from acknowledging this reality.
Efficiency is not achieved by eliminating controls everywhere, but by
applying the right controls in the right places and ensuring they
operate within a unified framework.

Retail Boycott Looming
REI faces possible anniversary sale boycott after abandoning labor talks
The REI Union, expressing confidence
that the retailer’s customers would join workers in sending a message,
will finalize a decision by May 1.
The REI Union has authorized a boycott of the outdoor retailer’s
upcoming anniversary sale and a decision about whether to go through
with the action is expected by May 1.
In an emailed statement, REI expressed disappointment, calling its sale
“a moment centered on our members and one that the vast majority of
our employees take pride in supporting.”
“Actions like this aimed at weakening the business can have real,
lasting consequences, and put the jobs, wages, benefits, and future
opportunities employees depend on at risk,” the retailer said. “This
certainly seems to undermine the very outcomes the union says it is
focused on.”
The boycott vote was a response to REI’s decision earlier this month
to declare an impasse in negotiations with the union — a labor
collective of 11 REI stores backed by various United Food and Commercial
Workers and Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union locals. This is
a legal maneuver that allows the retailer to take unilateral steps,
including ones that had been rejected by the union. In February, REI
went ahead with changes to retirement plans, vacation time and sick time
that the union is against.

700+ Closures
GameStop closed over 700 stores last year
That amounts to more than 1,300 over
the past two fiscal years, though the gaming retailer said it doesn’t
expect any major footprint reductions in 2026.
After shuttering 727 stores in the U.S. last year, GameStop’s
store closures are winding down, according to a Tuesday filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The retailer’s U.S. store
footprint is down from 2,915 stores as of February 2024 to 1,598 as of
Jan. 31 and the company doesn’t expect to close a significant number
of locations in 2026.
The news comes as GameStop’s fourth quarter net sales dropped nearly
14% year over year to $1.1 billion and net income declined about 3% to
$127.9 million, according to a Tuesday press release. For the full
fiscal year, net sales dropped about 5% to $3.63 billion while net
income improved over 200% reaching $418.4 million.
The gaming retailer also closed store operations in New Zealand
during the fourth quarter and continues to evaluate its businesses
outside the U.S. GameStop’s international footprint now consists of
308 stores in France and 300 in Australia. GameStop did not hold a
conference call.

Business-Crippling Regulation?
California’s new recycling laws could cripple unprepared businesses
California’s SB 54 (Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging
Producer Responsibility Act) is among the most stringent Extended
Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies globally.
While CalRecycle is still refining the final regulations, the
statutory performance targets remain.
By Jan. 1, 2028, plastic covered material must meet a 30% recycling
rate, rising to 40% by 2030 and 65% by 2032. While by Jan. 1, 2032,
100% of single-use packaging and single-use plastic food service ware
sold into California must be recyclable or compostable, as determined by
CalRecycle.
Noncompliance can trigger enforcement action and significant
penalties (including daily penalties of up to $50,000), and for
certain materials, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) food service ware,
can result in sales and distribution prohibitions.

AI is Fueling Cyberattacks
AI poised to help low-skilled hackers in the near term
The expected rise in automated
cyberattacks means more work for defenders — but they can use AI to
fight back.
AI will be much more helpful to amateur cybercriminals than to
sophisticated threat actors in the near future, a former senior FBI
cybersecurity official warned at the RSAC 2026 Conference here on
Monday.
Despite all the hype about sophisticated AI-powered hacking
capabilities, “I still think the threat is really [centered] on that
wannabe, novice group trying to use some of these orchestration attacks
to make themselves more effective,” Cynthia Kaiser, the senior vice
president of the security firm Halcyon’s Ransomware Research Center,
said during a panel about the legal and security challenges associated
with businesses’ increased AI use.
Her mention of orchestration was a reference to hackers’ use of the
Model Context Protocol and other orchestration platforms to connect AI
tools to third-party services, thus expanding the potential reach of
their abusive tactics.
Low-level AI-fueled attacks won’t be complicated to block, but a
tidal wave of them will still be able to overwhelm defenders, said
Kaiser, a former deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division.
“The volume is about to increase substantially,” she warned.
That will increase defenders’ fatigue, she said, as security operations
center (SOC) personnel have to deal with far more potential incidents
than in years past.
And even half-baked attacks can still cause problems.
“The actors had actually created this whole ransomware [attack chain],
and they used AI across the [various] tasks and then ugly-chained it
together,” she said. But in the end, “they forgot to actually make
something that allowed [encrypted files] to be decrypted. … You need a
place to put the key, like a keyhole, and they forgot to make the
keyhole.”
These attacks are “not great,” Kaiser said, “but they’re dangerous,
they’re destructive, and they’re just fatiguing.”

AI Smuggling Operation Goes Wrong
Mission to smuggle $170 million worth of AI tech to China collapsed for
three men
Three individuals, Stanley Yi Zheng, Matthew Kelly, and Tommy Shad
English, have been charged with conspiracy to commit smuggling and
export control violations after allegedly attempting to procure
millions of dollars’ worth of restricted computer chips from a
California-based hardware company.
In October 2023, Tommy Shad English, claiming to represent a
Thailand-based company, ordered 750 computer servers worth about $170
million from a U.S. hardware firm, including 600 with export-controlled
chips that require a license for shipment to China. He signed
certifications stating the equipment was not intended for China or any
other country subject to heightened export requirements.
By January 2024, he had paid more than $20 million toward the
order and added Stanley Yi Zheng and Matthew Kelly to email discussions
during a compliance review, raising concerns about Zheng’s ties to
China. The chip manufacturer could not verify a legitimate end user in
Thailand, and the order was not completed.
In April 2024, English sought to place a second order for 500 servers
through another Thailand-based company and again certified the stated
end user, but that transaction was also not completed.

Iran-Linked Cyberattacks
Congress wants details from White House on cyber strategy, Iran
resilience measures
Lawmakers’ aides from both parties
say they want to be kept in the loop on implementation.
Members of Congress and their staffs are eagerly awaiting the Trump
administration’s plan for implementing its new cybersecurity strategy
and want more regular updates on how the government is helping
critical infrastructure organizations guard against new Iran-linked
hacking threats.
Staffers from the House Homeland Security Committee and the House
Oversight Committee discussed those and other cybersecurity issues
during a panel at the RSAC 2026 Conference here on Tuesday.
While the Democratic and Republican staffers sometimes took different
approaches to the issues, they agreed on the need for more details
about the strategy and about efforts to counter Iran-linked cyberattacks.

Counterfeit Goods in E-Commerce:
A Persistent Challenge for Retailers
By
the D&D Daily Staff
The continued growth of e-commerce has created new opportunities for
retailers, but it has also expanded the reach of counterfeit goods in
the global marketplace. Online platforms—ranging from large
third-party marketplaces to smaller independent sites—have made it
easier for counterfeit products to reach consumers at scale, often
bypassing traditional safeguards present in brick-and-mortar retail.
Counterfeit items commonly appear in high-demand categories such as
apparel, footwear, electronics, beauty products and luxury goods. In
many cases, these products are designed to closely mimic legitimate
brands, making detection more difficult for both consumers and
retailers. Some counterfeit listings use stolen product images or
slightly altered brand names to avoid automated detection systems.
For retailers and brands, the impact extends beyond lost sales.
Counterfeit goods can erode brand trust, introduce safety risks and
create operational challenges tied to customer complaints and returns.
In categories like cosmetics or electronics, counterfeit products may
also pose health or safety concerns due to the use of substandard
materials.
E-commerce platforms and retailers are increasingly deploying a mix
of strategies to address the issue. These include machine learning
tools to identify suspicious listings, brand registry programs that
allow rights holders to report infringements and supply chain tracking
technologies designed to verify product authenticity. Some companies are
also investing in serialization and digital product passports to improve
traceability.
Collaboration has become a key component of mitigation efforts.
Retailers, marketplaces, law enforcement and brand owners are sharing
data and coordinating enforcement actions to disrupt counterfeit
networks. However, enforcement remains complex due to the cross-border
nature of many operations and the speed at which new listings can
appear.
As e-commerce continues to evolve, counterfeit prevention is expected
to remain a priority area for loss prevention teams, requiring
ongoing adaptation of both technology and policy.

theft of property more than $300,000.
