TalkLP Podcast Host Amber Bradley sits down with Rhett Asher, SVP of Partnership Development at ALTO, to talk about how some retailers are trying to arrest their way to a safer store and why that’s not the best strategy. Of course, investigate the crime, create the case for law enforcement partners….but that’s not where the process of success ends. Detection tools are great, but if less than 5% of offenders ever make it into the court system, nothing is actually changing. Rhett breaks down why repeat offenders keep walking back through the doors of retail stores, why prosecutors drop retail cases before they even start, and how closing the accountability gap is the only way to fix it.
Plus! A special announcement about the TalkLPnews and ALTO Legal Briefing events coming up throughout the year!
