Why It Matters

Retail theft is a rising challenge that affects everyone:
  • Stores lose revenue and face closures.
  • Prices rise as losses increase.
  • Employees face risks to their safety.
  • Communities lose access to goods they rely on.

The Public Shield changes the equation.

  • Deter repeat theft through accountability.
  • Support safer working environments
  • Keep businesses open and thriving
  • Protect communities from rising costs
This isn’t punishment—it’s prevention. Together, we’re building a safer future for retail..
