NYPD Commissioner William
Bratton Joins LP Community
at Annual Downing & Downing Dinner Event
 For over 20 years, Downing & Downing has hosted the loss
prevention industry's signature new year's event, bringing together retail LP
teams and solution providers from the Northeast and throughout the
country during the annual NRF Big Show in New York City. The
popularity of the D&D Daily and the Loss Prevention News Network (LPNN) has
helped make the event even bigger in recent years, drawing larger crowds,
educational value, and more prominent industry figures. With "America's Top Cop"
- NYPD Commissioner William Bratton - speaking at this year's dinner, "Live
in NYC 2016" proved to be our biggest event yet!
Commissioner Bratton arrived to a packed house on Monday evening, January 18th,
where dinner guests greeted him with a gracious round of applause. Bratton spent
time meeting and taking pictures with LP teams and solution providers in
attendance. He then spoke to
the crowd about the ORC problems, efforts and
current issues
 concerning the retail industry - including active shooters,
terrorism,
retail's label as a "soft target" and what
we can all do to help
in these efforts. As one of the founders and huge supporters of Los Angeles' ORC
Association, Bratton has been a driving force behind helping to establish New
York City's new Metro ORC Association. And his passion for the topic certainly
showed in his speech to the audience.
Rarely do we have the opportunity to hear from one of the most notable and
accomplished law enforcement executives in the United States. And given the
current state of affairs and all of our concerns about the safety of our
employees, customers and the nation as a whole, we were absolutely thrilled and
honored that he took the time to meet with us.
We were able to film Commissioner Bratton's speech during the event, and we
will be airing it in the near future through our LPNN channel here on the Daily.
Stay tuned!
