The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
California's ORC Investment is Paying
Off
California has invested more than $267
million across 55 communities to combat organized retail theft and
property crime
California continues aggressive fight against organized retail theft,
recovering nearly $260 million in stolen merchandise
In 2023, Governor Newsom launched the largest-ever state investment
to combat organized retail theft, awarding more than $242 million to 38
local law enforcement agencies through the Board of State and Community
Corrections (BSCC). The funding supports dedicated enforcement
teams, investigative technology, regional operations, partnerships with
retailers, and additional personnel focused on organized retail crime.
The investment is producing measurable results. In the most recent
reporting quarter alone, agencies arrested 3,553 suspects and
referred 2,947 cases for prosecution.
“California’s investment in combating organized retail theft continues
to pay dividends,” said BSCC Board Chair Linda Penner. “The grants
provide local law enforcement agencies with the resources needed to
investigate complex criminal operations, resulting in thousands of
arrests, increased case referrals for prosecution, and the recovery
of millions of dollars in stolen property.”
California is also investing in prosecution efforts to ensure
organized retail theft cases are successfully brought to court.
Through a separate $24 million vertical prosecution grant program,
BSCC has provided funding to 13 district attorneys’ offices to support
prosecutors who handle organized retail theft cases from investigation
through conviction. The model strengthens coordination between
investigators, retailers, victims, and prosecutors while improving case
outcomes.
Grant-funded prosecutors secured 2,615 theft-related convictions, an
increase of nearly 18 percent over the previous quarter.
In total, California has invested more than $267 million across 55
communities to combat organized retail theft and property crime,
helping local agencies hire officers, deploy new technologies,
investigate criminal networks, and prosecute offenders.

Cargo Theft Continues to Surge
High-Fashion Freight Draws High-Tech Thieves
Overhaul Says Luxury Goods Face
Greater Cargo Theft Risk as Criminals Use Increasingly Sophisticated
Tools
 Overhaul
and other cargo security organizations have been tracking a rise in
cargo theft activity and sophistication in the years following the
coronavirus pandemic. Much of that increase has centered on
technology that allows criminal gangs to deploy advanced strategic
tactics. Ramon noted that new high-end fashion items are often targeted
since they have a much higher resale value. This is especially true if
the criminals are able to steal a shipment before a fashion item is
released.
“We’re seeing escalations across all verticals of cargo theft,
that’s all product types, all methodologies of theft and all regions of
the country,” Ramon said. “When we talk about strategic and fraudulent
theft, built into that method is the ability for thieves to be more
selective with the cargo that they’re stealing.”
Overhaul data showed a sequential decline in cargo thefts during the
first quarter, but activity remains elevated compared with earlier in
the pandemic. Ramon noted that thieves are aware of where there is
outsize value compared with the retail price, though what they target
also depends on where their liquidation channels are and what that
allows them to sell.
American Trucking Associations and other industry stakeholders have
worked to draw attention to the issue and bring about policy reforms.
Those efforts recently included joining other industries in a coalition
letter urging the Senate to advance the Combating Organized Retail
Crime Act to protect frontline transportation workers, retailers and
consumers.
American Transportation Research Institute has shown that cargo theft
is becoming increasingly prevalent, high-tech and originating overseas.
It calculated that cargo theft costs the industry more than $18 million
per day. Verisk Analytics’ CargoNet data shows strategic thefts have
surged 1,500% since 2021. Geotab found in a report March 15 that North
America reached an estimated $6.6 billion in reported cargo theft losses
in 2025, driven by an increase in high-value crimes and technology.

Mapping Organized Retail Crime
The Product You Bought Last Week May Have Been Stolen the Week Before
Southern Recon Announces Strategic
Intelligence Partnership, Reveals Multi-State ORC Tracking Capability
Across the Full Stolen Goods Supply Chain
Last month, Florida authorities arrested seven people and recovered
over $900,000 in stolen goods after dismantling an organized retail
crime ring operating across 12 counties. Boosters hit CVS, Walgreens,
Publix, Burlington, Macy's, and Ulta. The stolen goods moved to a fence
in Hialeah, then onto Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp. Seven arrests.
Case closed. Except it isn't.
"Most American consumers have no idea that the product they bought
last week on Amazon, or even off the shelf at a major chain pharmacy,
may have been stolen out of a CVS in another state two weeks earlier.
Organized retail crime isn't an inventory problem for retailers. It's a
fraud problem for everyone. The shopper is the last person in the chain,
and they're the one funding it without knowing." — Matt Aubin, Founder,
Southern Recon Agency
The Florida bust was a single node in a network that operates at an
industrial scale. U.S. retailers lost $90 billion to shrink in 2025,
according to Appriss Retail's 2026 Total Retail Loss Benchmark Report.
Shoplifting incidents are up 18% year over year, according to the NRF's
2025 Impact of Retail Theft and Violence report. Two-thirds of retailers
report transnational ORC group involvement in thefts against their
company. The average American family pays more than $500 annually in
higher prices because of it.
The Florida model is not an anomaly but the template. Boosters steal
to order. Fences consolidate and clean the inventory. Stolen goods move
across state lines, through secondary markets, and back into
legitimate-looking storefronts on Amazon, Walmart Marketplace,
Facebook Marketplace, and OfferUp. In many cases, they re-enter
distributor networks and end up back on the shelves of the same chains
they were stolen from.

Flossmoor Board approves agreement for retail theft surveillance cameras
at Meijer
The Flossmoor Village Board approved an ordinance Monday, June 1,
authorizing a license agreement and memorandum of understanding with
Meijer to allow the installation of a surveillance camera system on
the retailer’s property at 3740 Vollmer Road.
The camera installation is part of the village’s participation in an
Illinois Attorney General organized retail theft grant program,
according to village documents. The cameras are intended to help the
Flossmoor Police Department monitor, investigate and track trends in
retail theft and other crimes occurring near local shopping centers.
The camera will provide coverage of the Meijer gas station, portions
of the Meijer parking lot, Traditions Drive and the nearby AT&T strip
mall.
Police Chief Carl Estelle said in a memo to the Village Board that the
project represents the second phase of the village’s camera program.
Estelle said cameras previously installed in downtown Flossmoor through
the same grant program have been used in investigations involving
traffic crashes, catalytic converter thefts, a business burglary and a
hate-crime graffiti incident.
Village officials said Meijer agreed to allow the camera to be placed
on its property and to provide electrical service for the equipment.
The village will be responsible for installation, maintenance and
repairs. All images and video captured by the camera system will remain
the property of the Village of Flossmoor.

Editor's Note: While local in
scope, the initiative reflects a broader trend of retailers, law
enforcement and local governments working together to address retail
crime. The more important questions may be whether these investments
produce measurable reductions in theft, how success will be evaluated
and whether similar programs can be scaled effectively across larger
communities and retail corridors.

Building Safer Retail Environments
Store Safety Remains a Core Focus for Retail Loss Prevention Teams
 By
the D&D Daily staff
While organized retail crime and other external threats often capture
headlines, store safety remains one of the most important
responsibilities within retail loss prevention and asset protection
programs.
Retailers continue to invest in strategies designed to create safer
environments for employees, customers and business partners. These
efforts extend well beyond security incidents and focus on reducing
everyday risks that can impact store operations, employee well-being and
the overall customer experience.
Safety initiatives often include workplace violence prevention
training, emergency preparedness planning, slip-and-fall prevention
programs, evacuation procedures and active communication protocols.
Many organizations are also reviewing store layouts, operational
processes and staffing practices to identify potential hazards before
incidents occur.
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in
supporting these efforts. Retailers are utilizing tools such as video
analytics, emergency notification platforms, digital incident reporting
systems and mobile communication solutions to improve awareness and
response capabilities. These technologies can help managers identify
concerns more quickly and ensure information is shared efficiently
during critical situations.
Employee engagement remains another key component of successful
safety programs. Many retailers encourage associates to report
hazards, participate in safety training and provide feedback on
operational challenges. Creating a culture where employees feel
empowered to speak up can help organizations identify risks that may
otherwise go unnoticed.
In addition, retailers are increasingly taking a holistic view of
safety that incorporates physical security, operational resilience and
employee wellness. This approach recognizes that safe stores often
contribute to stronger employee retention, improved customer
satisfaction and more consistent business performance.
As retail environments continue to evolve, loss prevention
professionals are balancing a growing range of responsibilities.
While theft prevention and security remain important priorities,
maintaining safe stores for employees and customers is equally critical.
For many organizations, investments in store safety are not simply
compliance measures. They represent an ongoing commitment to
protecting people, supporting operations and fostering positive retail
experiences across every location.
'DEI is Not Dying'
Most Companies Still Committed to DEI
"Despite a high-risk legal
environment, our research shows that DEI is not dying—it is evolving,”
said Joy Ohm at Catalyst.
Given the pressure on companies to walk back from their diversity,
equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, many might be surprised to find
that 80% still remain committed to this practice.
This is according to a recent study A new path to inclusion: How to
overcome legal and cultural constraints on building fair workplaces by
Catalyst and NYU School of Law’s Meltzer Center for Diversity,
Inclusion, and Belonging.
That's not to say, however, that companies haven't adjusted their
policies. In fact, the survey found that 77% of organizations have
shifted their (DEI) investments over the last three years.
And 51% of federal contractors have decreased their inclusion efforts
under regulatory pressure; conversely, a majority of organizations
that are not federal contractors (52%) have increased their inclusion
efforts.
"Despite a high-risk legal environment, our research shows that DEI
is not dying—it is evolving,” said Joy Ohm, vice president at
Catalyst, in a statement. “We see a majority of organizations
adjusting their strategies, so this is a story of adaptation, not a
broad rollback. Even in the face of a concerted assault on the
values of inclusion and fairness, many organizations remain deeply
committed to this work.”

Iran War Impacting Retailers
Tommy Hilfiger parent company feels impact of Iran war
PVH lowered its full year outlook,
stating that it is seeing increased pressure on its EMEA business.
PVH posted first quarter 2026 revenue of $2 billion, up 2% year over
year, but revised its full year outlook to approximately flat, down
from a previous forecast of slightly up, per a Wednesday news
release. Tommy Hilfiger revenue was up 2.8% and Calvin Klein grew 1%.
On a Thursday call with analysts, CEO Stefan Larsson said the company
“did not include the prolonged effects of the Middle East conflict in
our original guidance.” He said the company expects to feel the
effects of the war in Iran “for the full 3-month period in the second
quarter as well as through the back half of this year.”
“[T]he prolonged effects of the Middle East conflict, now extending
beyond the third month … is putting increasing pressure on our EMEA
business in three ways,” Larsson said. “First, our direct Middle
East business is seeing notably lower wholesale demand. Second, we have
seen a knock-on effect in Turkey as reduced tourism and macro factors
weigh on demand there. And third, we are seeing a broader macro effect
on consumer purchasing behavior in the EMEA region, including the
effects of higher fuel costs, which is leading to lower consumer
sentiment and fewer drives to stores.”

Are You Prepared for Hurricane Season?
EPA, Chemical Board Encourages Hurricane Preparedness Across Southeast
"It only takes one bad storm hitting
one unprepared facility to lead to a catastrophic chemical incident,”
said Steve Owens of the Chemical Safety Board.
With the hurricane season officially starting on June 1, the EPA is
asking business, state and local officials and residents to take
proactive steps to prepare for potential hurricanes, flooding, and
severe weather events.
Advance planning and preparedness can help protect lives, property,
infrastructure, and the environment before storms make landfall.
“Preparation remains one of the most effective tools communities
have during hurricane season,” said EPA Region 4 Administrator Kevin
McOmber in a statement.
“Taking steps now to secure homes, safeguard hazardous materials, and
strengthen emergency response plans can help reduce risks to public
health, protect the environment, and support faster recovery efforts
after a storm.”

Coalition Pushes Retail Crime Bill
RILA Leads Coalition Letter Urging Senate Action on Combating Organized
Retail Crime Act
Nearly 200 organizations ask Senate
to swiftly act to combat retail crime.
 The
Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) today delivered
a coalition letter to the United States Senate, urging swift action
to advance the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (CORCA). Signed
by 191 businesses and associations from across the nation, the
letter underscores the urgent need for federal leadership in addressing
the escalating threat of organized retail crime.
The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed CORCA with strong
bipartisan support, sending a clear message about the importance of
protecting retailers, consumers, and communities. Now, retail
leaders are calling on the Senate to build on this momentum and advance
the legislation to the President’s desk.
“The overwhelming bipartisan passage of the Combating Organized Retail
Crime Act in the House reflects the broad consensus that dismantling
organized retail crime networks requires decisive action and federal
intervention,” said Sarah Gilmore, Senior Director, Government
Affairs at RILA. “We urge the Senate to act quickly and collaboratively
to pass CORCA and deliver meaningful solutions for retailers and
communities across America.”
RILA and its coalition partners remain committed to working with
lawmakers to ensure the safety and security of businesses,
employees, and consumers nationwide.
Ensuring CORCA gets signed into law this year is a critical component
to RILA’s overarching strategy to address the industry-wide problem of
retail theft. RILA is leading the industry in bringing together
retailers, law enforcement, community leaders, and policy makers at
every level to find solutions to restore vibrancy in communities across
the country.

What's Small And Round And Makes Lots Of Sound?
The Tick-R-Tape Tag and Mini Tape Tag
 The
Tick-R-Tape Tag can be used alone or with
conductive tape or a conductive label, creating additional alarm capabilities.
It can replace wire package wraps and “keepers”. When the merchandise goes
through the POS, the associate keeps the tag and leaves the base and tape on the
package to go home with the customer for removal later, with no damaged
packaging.
This tag has 6-alarm capability when using 2-pieces of conductive tape. Its 98
dBl alarm can be heard throughout the store. The Tick-R-Tape Tag is water
resistant and cannot be “jumped”.
CIS focused on testing and refining the younger sibling to the Tick-R-Tape Tag
that is smaller, simpler, and discreet yet effective. The
Mini Tape Tag can protect most items, with or
without using the conductive tape or label. Prevent shoplifters from taking the
product out of the box and leaving JUST the box! Use the Mini Tape Tag with the
conductive tape, to keep all components together.
 With
dimensions of 2”w x ¾”h The Tick-R-Tape Tag can provide up to 630% more
available shelf space compared to keepers and can provide up to 33% more
available shelf space compared to small wire package wraps. Both the Tick-R-Tape
Tag and the Mini Tape Tag can be placed anywhere on the package to optimize
merchandising and visual appeal.
Reduce shrinkage, increase available shelf space, reduce check-out time by up to
50%, and reduce labor at the front end.
We may not stop shoplifting in its tracks, but we CAN deter, displace, and
discourage thieves from targeting your stores using the CIS Tape Tag solutions.

Retailers Expand Third-Party Cyber
Oversight
Retailers Strengthen Third-Party Cyber Risk Oversight as Vendor
Ecosystems Expand
By
the D&D Daily staff
As retailers continue to invest in digital operations, many security
leaders are placing greater attention on a growing challenge:
managing cyber risks that originate outside their own organizations.
Modern retail operations rely on a vast network of third-party
vendors, including payment processors, software providers, logistics
partners, marketing platforms, customer service tools and cloud-based
technology providers. While these relationships help retailers
improve efficiency and customer experiences, they also create additional
pathways that cybercriminals may attempt to exploit.
Industry experts have increasingly emphasized that cyber resilience
is no longer limited to protecting a retailer's internal systems.
Instead, organizations are evaluating the security practices of
suppliers and technology partners that may have access to sensitive
business information, customer data or operational systems.
Recent years have seen numerous high-profile incidents across multiple
industries in which attackers gained access through trusted vendors,
software providers or service partners. In some cases, disruptions
affecting a single supplier have impacted dozens or even hundreds of
downstream organizations.
To address these risks, many retailers are expanding vendor risk
management programs. Common practices include conducting security
assessments before onboarding new vendors, requiring cybersecurity
standards in contracts, monitoring third-party security performance and
establishing incident response procedures that account for
supplier-related disruptions.
Retail security and technology teams are also placing greater focus
on software supply chain security. This includes understanding what
components are used within critical applications, tracking
vulnerabilities and maintaining visibility into technology dependencies
that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Artificial intelligence is adding another layer of complexity. As
retailers adopt AI-powered tools from outside vendors, organizations
must evaluate how customer information is processed, stored and
protected while ensuring appropriate governance controls remain in
place.
While cyber threats continue to evolve, security leaders increasingly
view third-party risk management as a business-wide responsibility
rather than solely an IT function. Effective collaboration between
cybersecurity, legal, procurement, compliance and operational teams can
help retailers identify potential vulnerabilities before they become
larger security incidents.
As retail technology ecosystems continue to expand, strengthening
oversight of third-party partners is expected to remain a key component
of long-term cyber resilience strategies.

Protecting the Nation From
Cyberattacks
New House AI bill includes frontier model oversight, open-source
security grants
The legislation has already drawn
widespread criticism for its proposal to preempt state AI laws.
A bipartisan group of House lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday to
regulate the development of frontier AI models, with a focus on
protecting the nation from cyberattacks and fraud and building an
AI-literate workforce.
The 269-page draft of the Great American Artificial Intelligence Act
would require large frontier AI developers — defined as those with more
than $500 million in annual revenue — to publish frameworks and reports
assessing their models’ risks. The bill would codify the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s Center for AI Standards
and Innovation (CAISI) and direct it to certify “independent
verification organizations” (IVOs) that would audit AI firms’ compliance
with the transparency requirements.
“Large frontier developers must retain a licensed IVO to verify
compliance with their framework and to ensure the adequacy of the
framework and procedures,” lawmakers explained in a bill summary. “These
IVOs must be granted sufficient access to company materials, and report
their audits to CAISI.”
The measure represents one of Congress’s most ambitious AI regulatory
efforts to date, and it sparked immediate controversy. Civil society
organizations, AI safety advocates and labor groups criticized its
preemption of state AI laws, with one advocacy group saying it would be
“a generational mistake” to prevent states from “addressing emerging AI
harms.” On Capitol Hill, Democrats criticized the preemption language
while Republicans said regulation could undermine innovation.

New AI Security Executive Order
CISA chief says Trump AI executive order implementation will start soon
The agency, depleted after several
rounds of cuts imposed by the White House, insists it can handle its new
AI security responsibilities.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is moving
quickly to implement President Donald Trump’s executive order on AI
security.
The centerpiece of Trump’s new EO is a framework for requesting early
government access to frontier AI models to test them for security
risks. But the order also directs CISA to issue guidance to other
agencies on securing their networks with AI.
Andersen said CISA would soon publish binding operational directives
to federal agencies that implement that section of the EO, including
requirements focused on vulnerability management.

How Companies Lose Out to Amazon
Amazon Wins When Retail Checkout Breaks
When a millennial advertising executive spends 30 minutes on a Sunday
morning browsing face serums on a beauty website, she expects that
once she lands on her final choice, the hard work is over. Now all
she has to do is click to pay.
But when that last step sends her through endless loops of applying
her stored credit card details without success, she quickly bails on
the merchant and finds the same product on Amazon. The giant marketplace
seals the deal, not the direct-to-consumer retailer.
Digital-first shoppers have little time or patience for online friction.
If the checkout process becomes a hassle or doesn’t function at all,
shoppers may just abandon their carts and buy elsewhere.
The PYMNTS Intelligence report “The
Orchestration Advantage: How Routing Architecture Shapes Payments
Performance,” a collaboration with Spreedly, found that when more
behind-the-scenes checkout functions are in place and working together,
fewer customers leave their carts behind. The report identified five
payment orchestration capabilities that help close the sale smoothly,
including smart payment routing, systems that automatically recover from
failures, updated routing logic, token control and the ability to
quickly add payment methods.
Companies that don’t have all these capabilities in place (and thus
have weaker checkout systems) are more likely to send frustrated
consumers running to competitors. Among businesses with only two or
three of the capabilities, 36% reported cart abandonment rates of at
least 3%. Among companies with all five tools in place, the “I give up”
rate plunges more than twofold, to 16%.

Training is the secret ingredient to every success.
Want to know why that shiny new program
isn’t sticking? Chances are, the rollout deck was longer than the
training. Tools don’t fail—training does. And training isn’t a

who shows the team how to use the tool, not just where the login button
is. And be sure your Solution Partner is a part of this. Chances are,
they know it better than anyone.
