TJ Maxx and Marshalls Equip Employees with Body Cameras to Combat Theft

The retailer aims to reduce shoplifting and increase safety with the introduction of police-style body cameras for loss prevention associates.

Body cameras are being worn by specially trained loss prevention employees in select stores.
The move is part of a broader strategy to address the $112 billion retail shrinkage problem.
Footage from the cameras is shared only with law enforcement or via subpoena.
Some experts and workers question the effectiveness and potential privacy issues of the cameras.
Other retailers are also exploring similar measures to deter theft and ensure safety.
