Retail theft is dominating headlines as an urgent issue facing businesses today. With the National Retail Federation (NRF) reporting that organized retail crime (ORC) cost the industry $121 billion in 2023, the call for stronger security solutions has never been louder【source】. The issue has become so pressing that 37 state attorneys general have joined forces, urging lawmakers to crack down on these increasingly brazen and coordinated criminal activities【source】.
