The retail industry continues to face increasingly alarming levels of crime, violence, and loss, yet there are those who think differently because our industry doesn’t have the numbers to “back it up.”
For more than 30 years, the National Retail Security Survey has been the industry benchmark report—and this year may be most critical!
Conducted in partnership with the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC), the report plays a key role in supporting asset protection departments, and educating policymakers, media, and other stakeholders. As retailers face increasingly alarming levels of crime, violence, theft, and loss, the report has never been more vital.
The NRF recently distributed the 2023 NRSS survey to loss prevention and asset protection pyramid leaders for more than 350 retail brands. Strong retail brand involvement is critical to ensure the report accurately reflects the current security landscape. Across the industry, this report is used to support benchmarking, budgeting, and department initiatives. The survey results are planned for release later this year in the fall.
The deadline for completing the survey has been extended to Friday, June 16, 2023.
Only through retailer participation can we provide the most representative results that show the true impact of theft, loss, and concerns facing our industry. Now is the time for us to quiet the naysayers!
If your organization’s LP/AP pyramid head has not yet received the 2023 NRSS survey, please reach out to David Johnston at NRF or Cory Lowe at the LPRC.
