Home Depot Deploys Security Guards and Dogs in NY Stores to Address Safety Concerns

Amid increasing incidents of theft and aggressive behavior by migrants, Home Depot has intensified security measures in its New York stores.

Home Depot in New Rochelle and Bronx, NY, employs security personnel and a German Shepherd to enhance safety in store parking lots.
The security measures are in response to reports of migrants aggressively soliciting tips and engaging in theft.
Customers have reported feeling unsafe, prompting the deployment of guards wearing bulletproof vests and MSA Security caps.
Incidents of aggressive solicitation include migrants trying to sell counterfeit goods and invading personal space.
Home Depot's corporate office is involved, with ongoing adjustments to security protocols at affected locations.
