The loss prevention industry stands at a crossroads. The path you choose will define what LP looks like for your company in the years ahead.

After decades of incremental evolution (from tape-based CCTV to digital video, from manual audits to exception-based reporting), LP stands on the brink of its most significant upheaval yet: the shift from reactive operations to AI-powered intelligence.

The path forward is full of questions and uncertainty. What does "AI in LP" actually mean? How do organizations progress from alert fatigue to autonomous workflows? What prevents advancement?

Don’t worry. We’ve built a roadmap.

On
March 31st at 11:00 AM EST we’ll share The Loss Prevention Maturity Model—a strategic framework that maps four stages of LP evolution: from reactive, device-based operations to data-driven analytics, AI-powered intelligence, and ultimately autonomous workflows.



 



The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


Store Layouts & ORC
Organized Retail Crime Groups Exploit Store Layout Intelligence to Maximize Thefts


By the D&D Daily Staff

Organized retail crime (ORC) groups are increasingly using detailed knowledge of store layouts and operations to carry out more efficient and targeted thefts, according to loss prevention professionals.

Rather than acting opportunistically, some groups are conducting pre-visit reconnaissance to map store interiors, identify high-value product locations and track security measures. In certain cases, individuals enter stores posing as customers to observe camera placement, employee routines and peak staffing gaps before returning later to execute thefts.

Retailers report that this type of planning allows ORC groups to reduce time on site and avoid detection. Teams may split roles, with one or more individuals acting as distractions while others move directly to specific merchandise categories such as health and beauty, electronics or designer apparel.

In addition, some groups are leveraging publicly available information — including online store maps, social media posts and even customer photos — to better understand store layouts before entering. This use of open-source intelligence allows bad actors to plan thefts remotely and refine their approach across multiple locations within the same retail chain.

Loss prevention teams note that this trend presents new challenges, as traditional deterrents may be less effective against highly coordinated activity. Instead, retailers are increasingly focusing on dynamic countermeasures, including adjusting product placement, rotating high-risk inventory locations and enhancing real-time monitoring of in-store behavior.

The evolution of ORC tactics reflects a broader shift toward more organized and data-driven approaches. As these groups continue to adapt, retailers are working to stay ahead by combining technology, employee awareness and operational flexibility to mitigate risk.


Organized Theft Rings Swiping Packages from Porches
‘Porch Piracy’ Is Just One Aspect of Rampant Retail Theft and Fraud
An estimated 250,000 packages, valued at around $15 billion, are stolen nationwide each day. And porch pirates are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their methods, according to Yael Hemo, a researcher with Riskified, creator of a fraud-prevention platform driven by artificial intelligence.

Thieves today are often part of extensive fraud rings that employ such tactics are Wi-Fi jammers to knock out cameras and bypass home-security systems, Hemo says. They actively trade techniques and obtain inside information on potential victims over the dark web.

Those victims aren’t just individual consumers. The big money comes from duping merchants through the widescale abuse of refund policies, Hemo says.

Exploiting the high public profile of porch piracy, the scam often takes the form of a shopper falsely claiming that a package was either stolen or never arrived, and demanding a full refund. Research by Riskified reveals that refund abuse in 2024 amounted to between 1% and 2% of total order value. As many as one in four return claims is fraudulent, Hemo says.

Total losses from all forms of retail return fraud are in excess of $100 billion a year, Hemo notes. Other techniques include wardrobing (purchasing and wearing an outfit once, then returning it for a refund), returning stolen merchandise, submitting fake or altered receipts, and using fraudulently obtained gift cards to receive cash or store credit on returned items.

Porch piracy in particular “is always looking to imitate legitimate phenomena,” says Hemo. That saddles merchants with the burden of distinguishing between scammers and honest customers. Failing to stop the former can lead to huge losses and higher prices, but erroneously charging the latter with fraud can seriously undermine brand loyalty.

Fraudsters have become so sophisticated that they’re now offering their services to others on the dark web — even on legitimate platforms such as Telegram. “You can reach out to a professional, and in return for a fee, they can do it for you,” Hemo says.  supplychainbrain.com


The Political Debate Over Property Crime
Red Cities, Blue Cities and (Property) Crime: A Sequel

Like urban violent crime, urban property crime is often a political football. Republicans claim that crime in Democrat-run cities is proof that Democrats are incapable of maintaining public order. Do they have a point?

When I wrote about the Black-dominated Democrat-run cities two years ago (Atlanta, Memphis, Detroit, Cleveland, Baton Rouge, Baltimore) I mentioned that homicide rates had no clear pattern during the early 2020s. Car theft rates also varied widely, from a slight decline in Baton Rouge to a over-100-percent increase in Memphis. Although car thefts in Detroit rose by only 19 percent, car theft in the other three cities rose by 50-60 percent. To put it another way, the median car theft increase was just over 90 percent among the progressive cities and just over 50 percent among the most Black cities. So, on balance, it seems like the most Black-dominated cities outperformed more progressive cities — but were in turn outperformed by Republican-run cities.

What about the not-so-progressive cities with Democratic mayors? Were they more like the Republican-run cities (where car theft has generally gone down to 2019 levels or lower) or like the more left-leaning Democratic cities?

This group of (mostly) sprawling, car-oriented cities yielded mixed results. At the one extreme, car thefts doubled or more in six cities (El Paso, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Kansas City, and Lincoln) and increased by 98 percent in Long Beach. At the other extreme, car theft rates went down in Sacramento and St. Petersburg, and increased by 10 percent or less in Phoenix, Tampa, Albuquerque, and San Jose. The median cities (that is, ranking 9th and 10th worst) were Greensboro (75 percent increase) and Denver (68 percent). So the median car theft increase in centrist Democratic cities was actually pretty close to that of other categories of Democrat-run cities — a result I would not have expected from looking at murder rates, which increased quite modestly in this group of cities during the early 2020s. planetizen.com

Seasonal Store Operations Shift
How Retailers Prepare for Warmer Weather Operations


By the D&D Daily Staff

As temperatures rise, retailers across the country begin transitioning store operations to align with seasonal changes in customer behavior, staffing needs, and in-store conditions. While much of the focus is placed on merchandising and promotional strategies, operational adjustments play a critical role in maintaining efficiency, safety, and customer experience during the warmer months.

Foot traffic patterns often shift in spring and summer, with longer daylight hours and school breaks contributing to increased store visits, particularly in the late afternoon and evening. Retailers may adjust staffing schedules to align with these peaks, ensuring adequate floor coverage and customer service during higher-traffic periods.

Store environments also require seasonal recalibration. HVAC systems are typically inspected and optimized to handle increased cooling demands, helping maintain a comfortable shopping environment while managing energy costs. Entryways and flooring may need more frequent cleaning as rain, pollen, and outdoor debris become more common, particularly in regions with variable spring weather.

From a merchandising standpoint, retailers reposition floor layouts to highlight seasonal inventory such as outdoor goods, apparel, and travel-related products. This often involves reconfiguring displays to improve flow and visibility, while ensuring compliance with safety standards and accessibility guidelines.

Employee considerations are another key factor. Dress codes may be adjusted to allow for lighter, breathable uniforms, particularly in non-climate-controlled environments like garden centers or outdoor retail spaces. Hydration and break policies may also be reinforced as temperatures increase, supporting employee well-being and productivity.

Finally, retailers often review emergency preparedness protocols for seasonal risks such as severe weather, including thunderstorms and heatwaves. This can involve updating communication procedures, ensuring backup power readiness, and reinforcing safety training for staff.

While these adjustments may vary by region and retail segment, the transition into warmer weather represents a consistent operational shift. Proactive planning in these areas helps retailers maintain smooth operations and deliver a consistent customer experience throughout the season.


'Cooperative Workplace Safety Programs'
OSHA doubles down on prevention with OSHA Cares rollout
The U.S. Department of Labor is expanding its push toward cooperative workplace safety programs, rolling out an agencywide initiative days after launching a structured employer recognition program.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration last week introduced its OSHA Cares initiative, aimed at strengthening customer service and broadening compliance assistance for employers. It says the effort focuses on helping businesses meet federal safety requirements while building more effective safety and health programs, with an emphasis on prevention and collaboration.

Under OSHA Cares, the agency is encouraging employers — particularly small and midsize businesses — to seek guidance before problems escalate, according to a statement. The initiative includes expanded access to compliance assistance specialists, improved training and educational materials, and more consistent, real-time support during inspections and enforcement activities.

The rollout builds on OSHA’s March 16 launch of its Safety Champions Program, a voluntary, tiered initiative designed to help employers develop and improve safety and health programs over time. businessinsurance.com

Gas Prices & Retail
Are Gas Price Spikes a Blow to Retail Spending?
The surge in gas prices since the start of the Iran war is expected to deliver more of a psychological than material impact to consumers.

Harriet Torry, economics correspondent for the Western U.S. for the Wall Street Journal, estimated in a podcast that Americans spend only about 3% of their income on energy services like electricity and natural gas — with bigger expenditures including housing, 33%, and food, 14%. However, continually noticing higher gas prices takes its toll on consumer sentiment.

“This is actually quite a small part of American’s day-to-day spending, but because it’s such a visible part — people are just very aware of gas prices because you drive around all day and you see them everywhere you go,” said Torry. “So when they go up, you think, ‘Oh yeah, okay. Why is that happening?’ And swings in gas prices do have an impact on the way that people feel about their ability to continue spending.”

Gas prices carry outsize psychological weight,” eMarketer stated in a recent analysis, “Prominently displayed and paid frequently, increased pump prices keep inflation concerns front and center, squeezing household budgets and dampening consumer sentiment. Over the past half-century, rising gas prices have typically lifted inflation expectations.” retailwire.com

Interface Systems Strengthens Alarm Monitoring Against
Cellular Jamming and Break-Ins

Integration of TamperShield™ alarm monitoring with advanced JamAlert™ technology enables Interface to stop break-ins before they happen


St. Louis, MO — Interface Systems, a leading managed service provider delivering remote video monitoring, commercial security systems, business intelligence, and network services for multi-location enterprises, today announced the integration of JamAlert™ with its TamperShield™ alarm monitoring service. JamAlert™ is an advanced cellular jammer detection device from Digital Monitoring Products (DMP) designed to identify criminal cellular interference attempts to disable connected alarm devices before a break-in occurs.

Criminals are increasingly using portable cellular jammers to block alarm communications before attempting a break-in to high-value retail environments such as jewelry stores, as well as financial institutions, and museums. JamAlert monitors cellular frequencies used by alarm systems and detects abnormal signal interference. When jamming activity is identified, the device immediately triggers an alarm, providing early warning of a potential security event.

When paired with TamperShield, which monitors panel “heartbeat” communications at the Interface’s Interactive Security Operations Center (ISOC), the solution delivers layered protection that includes:

  • Early detection of jamming attempts at the site level

  • Continuous monitoring of panel connectivity at the ISOC

  • Live video verification to assess suspicious activity

  • Faster escalation, including staff notification, law enforcement dispatch and voice-down deterrence when a credible threat is confirmed

"TamperShield with JamAlert provides early visibility into sophisticated break-in attempts," said Steve Womer, SVP of Product at Interface Systems. "Instead of discovering interference after a break-in, we can identify a jamming attempt as it begins, verify activity through video monitoring, and respond quickly. This proactive approach helps deter crime and reduce loss."

JamAlert is compatible with both DMP and Honeywell intrusion systems. This allows businesses to enhance protection without replacing existing infrastructure.

States Ranked By Cybercrime Losses
Cybercrime Losses Vary Widely Across States, New Analysis Shows


By the D&D Daily Staff

A recent analysis from Whitaker Brothers highlights how cybercrime impact can vary significantly across U.S. states when measured on a per capita basis, rather than by total losses alone.

The report ranks states based on average cybercrime loss per person, offering a clearer view of how financial harm is distributed among residents. Using this methodology, smaller states often rank higher in relative impact despite reporting lower total losses.

Among the states analyzed, Alaska and Delaware show some of the highest per-person losses, each at approximately $36 per resident. Iowa and Ohio fall in the mid-range, with per capita losses of $23 and $23 respectively, while states such as West Virginia and Indiana report lower per-person impacts at $14 and $18.

Total losses and complaint volumes still vary widely. For example, some states report more than $100 million in losses and tens of thousands of complaints, while others report significantly lower totals. However, the per capita approach reveals that higher population states do not necessarily experience greater impact on an individual level.

The findings align with broader industry data showing that cybercrime remains widespread across regions, with common schemes including phishing, business email compromise and online fraud. These incidents continue to generate both high-frequency complaints and substantial financial losses.

By focusing on average loss per person, the analysis underscores how cybercrime affects residents differently depending on geography, population size and reporting patterns. The results highlight the importance of continued investment in cybersecurity awareness, employee training and preventative technologies across all regions.


Anti-Fraud AI
How is AI transforming financial crime compliance now?

2026 is shaping up to be the year when AI matures from experimental technology to scalable Financial Crime Compliance Tools.

Forward thinkers in Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) spent 2025 investing in data foundations and testing agentic AI improvements to Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Fraud Prevention processes.

Now, leading institutions are deploying AI across the FCC lifecycle to orchestrate data extraction, accelerate KYC refreshes, support investigations, and strengthen anti-fraud decisioning.

This transformation is urgent because institutions, regulators, and law enforcement are facing unprecedented levels of illicit transactions and AI-powered financial fraud. An estimated $800 billion to $2 trillion is laundered worldwide each year. These transactions support organized crime and deprive economies of resources they need for growth and stability. They also put institutions at risk for severe financial penalties if they fail to detect risky customer behavior.

Firms that used 2025 to build their agentic AI capabilities by focusing on the unglamorous foundation work are in the best position to manage increasing financial crime risk accurately, cost-effectively and in real-time.

Emerging high-velocity risks demand better tools

Three major trends came together in 2025 to make financial crime more challenging to detect and fight.

First, financial digitization, including decentralized finance platforms and cryptocurrency, “dramatically expanded both the reach and speed of illicit financial flows,” according to a 2025 International Institute of Certified Forensic Investigation Professionals report.

Second, so much identity data has been compromised through years of breaches and leaks that it “threatens to overwhelm fraud detection systems,” according to a 2025 TransUnion report. Criminals use that data to steal consumer identities outright and to synthesize new consumer identities that can pass basic account creation checks.

Third, criminals also tapped into the power of AI to automate processes like account takeovers and fraudulent account creation to support financial crime at scale. scworld.com


Ransomware Broker Sentences to 81 Months
Russian initial access broker helped ransomware gangs extort millions, sentenced to 81 months
A Russian citizen, Aleksei Volkov, was sentenced to 81 months in prison for helping ransomware groups carry out attacks causing over $9 million in actual losses and over $24 million in intended losses, after being arrested in Italy and extradited to the United States where he pleaded guilty.

According to prosecutors, Volkov was an initial access broker who found vulnerabilities in computer networks, gained unauthorized access, and sold that access to other cybercriminals.

Volkov’s co-conspirators used the access he provided to deploy malware that encrypted victims’ data and disrupted their operations. They then demanded cryptocurrency payments, sometimes in the tens of millions of dollars, in exchange for restoring access and not releasing stolen data on leak sites. helpnetsecurity.com
