Thank you to everyone who joined us at this week’s ASIS Granite State meeting, graciously hosted by Bosch at 50 Wentworth Ave in Londonderry, NH. It was a pleasure to present and exchange perspectives on “Present Challenges in Retail Asset Protection and Security.”

Connecting with fellow security professionals from across the region provided valuable opportunities to discuss current issues and best practices in retail security. I appreciate the engaging conversations and look forward to continued collaboration as we work together to address the evolving challenges facing our industry

​What’s Keeping You Up at Night? Let’s Talk Retail Security—and Solutions
The challenges in retail security just keep coming—from rising incidents of organized retail crime (ORC) and workplace violence to concerns around compliance, liability, and even the intersection of cybersecurity and physical threats.
With changes like California’s SB 553 setting new expectations, many of us are asking:
What do you believe will be the major security concerns for retail operators in the near future?
Are you seeing early indicators of new trends in workplace violence, external theft, return fraud, or cyber-physical threats? How are changes in retail formats, urban crime patterns, or staffing shortages influencing your strategies?
For Example:

  •  If ORC is your top concern, are you investing in advanced analytics and technologies, intel-sharing with regional ORCA’s, or private-public partnerships?
  • Concerned about workplace violence? Are you revisiting training, adjusting staffing protocols, or enhancing reporting tools?
  • ​​ Seeing internal theft rise? Are you reevaluating audit routines or leveraging POS exception reporting in smarter ways?
  •  Struggling with enforcement fatigue or limited police response? Are you finding success with civil demand, third-party interventions, or policy updates?
  •  Are you currently using AI tools in your asset protection strategy? If so, how’s it going?

Now's the time to plan for the future!
