NJ Food Council Helping to Protect Communities

The New Jersey Food Council (NJFC), in partnership with the New Jersey Retail Merchants Association, the Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association and the Delaware Food Industry Council, addressed the most pressing security issues in the food industry at the 2023 Mid-Atlantic Loss Prevention Conference and Expo earlier this month.

Under the theme of “Protecting Our Communities and Preventing Loss,” the annual conference focused on pertinent loss prevention issues retailers face today, including an update on evolving concealed carry laws, a firsthand account of a members’ active shooter crisis, effective de-escalation tactics and a deep dive into organized retail crime and how retailers are fighting this ongoing threat.
