CCTV watches. SafeScope stops. In this episode of  The CitySafe Podcast, Don and Jim dive deep into the retail battlefield—where organized retail crime crews, habitual trespassers, and repeat offenders test the limits of traditional security. But here’s the truth: grainy footage and after-the-fact timelines don’t stop crime. Without airtight evidence that detectives and prosecutors can use, you’ve got nothing.

SafeScope flips the script. It’s proactive, preventative, and built for prosecution. From flagging ORC crews before they strike, to documenting habitual trespassers with ironclad evidence, this platform ensures bad actors face real consequences—even if it’s just a book-and-release. Because in retail, the message matters: this property doesn’t play around, and accountability is the new standard.
