Let’s talk shop about retail crime.

This holiday season, forecasters predict retailers will enjoy a generous bump in foot traffic, and that’s great news for brick-and-mortar stores. What they’re not looking forward to is dealing with shoplifters, many of whom are no longer lone operators simply looking for a five-finger discount. 

Shoplifters today are just as likely to be organized retail crime (ORC) boosters who work for large criminal enterprises. ORC rings actively recruit and equip these individuals to carry out sophisticated, large scale theft with precision targeting.  They are also known for being more violent and aggressive than ordinary shoplifters. Working together, boosters can carry out destructive smash-and-grab robberies or threaten employees who are working after hours.

As a result, retailers need stronger security technologies and deterrence solutions that go beyond simple camera surveillance. The Commander 3400 mobile security trailer delivers on all fronts—detection, deterrence and surveillance—and is particularly effective when deployed near mall entrances or in adjacent parking lots. It’s also a tool that law enforcement know, trust and have used in their own retail crime prevention initiatives with great success.
