The National Retail Federation & K2 Integrity, '23, report: " Organized Retail Theft - An Assessment of a persistent and growing threat"

We've all seen the recent "mop" thefts occurring in stores and shopping centers, creating a challenge for retail outlets. There is also a growing threat of "organized retail fraud" that is being reported by the industry. This report from the National Retail Federation and K2 Intergrity provides insight into how it is occurring and where the items are being resold. 

This is an opportunity for our CPAM organization and members to assist at the local level by hosting meetings with Loss Prevention personnel learning how they are addressing the issue and clarifying how our local ordinances work with retail fraud complaints.  

A PDF of this report published in an article with Home Depot's CEO has been sent out to members.
