Thriving communities are safe communities—and that requires smart, proactive security across both public and private spaces. Flock Safety is proud to announce that it has surpassed the milestone of partnering with 1,500 commercial businesses, ranging from the largest enterprise retailers, logistics, hospitality, and healthcare facilities, to family-owned shops across the country. To continue to support this explosive growth, the company is deepening its investment in the retail space with a leader who knows it inside and out. Flock is proud to welcome Oscar Arango as its new vice president of retail strategy.
A Proven Leader in Retail Loss Prevention
Oscar brings more than 30 years of experience in the security industry, with a career defined by innovation and impact. Before joining Flock, Oscar spent 18 years at Target Corporation, where he most recently served as vice president of assets protection. In that role, he led national safety and crisis response strategies across stores, supply chain networks, and headquarters operations. His leadership helped shape a culture of operational excellence, team development, and guest safety at one of the largest retailers in the country.
In addition to his tenure at Target, Arango has held leadership roles at Timberland and Urban Outfitters, where he was responsible for driving shortage reduction and physical security strategies across retail locations nationwide.
Bringing Visionary Leadership to Retail’s Toughest Challenges
Retailers are navigating a rapidly evolving threat landscape—marked by growing concerns around employee and customer safety, a surge in organized retail crime, and increasing pressure to deliver secure, seamless shopping experiences. It’s clear: the need for strategic security solutions has never been greater.
Arango’s deep expertise in retail operations and successful leadership in national safety strategies reinforce Flock’s strong commitment to empowering the commercial sector with technology that ensures safer shopping experiences—for employees, customers, and assets alike.
Following the launch of Flock’s expanded business safety platform—which now includes mobile security trailers, alert response services, real-time law enforcement video sharing, and seamless third-party sensor integration—the company is redefining what modern retail security can look like. By layering vehicle data into existing asset protection strategies, Flock’s system uniquely delivers crime deterrence and the actionable evidence needed to hold offenders accountable. With Arango leading the company’s retail strategy, Flock is accelerating its ability for asset protection teams to stay ahead of potential threats while simultaneously building larger, higher-value cases.
“I’m honored to join Flock Safety at such a pivotal time,” Oscar shared. “Retailers need proactive, forward-thinking solutions now more than ever. Flock’s technology and mission-driven mindset offer a unique opportunity to help businesses stay secure while also building stronger, safer communities.”
As Flock continues to expand its footprint in the commercial space, Oscar’s leadership will help shape a future where retail security is proactive, collaborative, and rooted in innovation.
