Scott Glenn, Vice President of Asset Protection at Home Depot, discussed the company's approach to retail shrink and organized retail crime on the Odd Lots podcast. He described shoplifting as part of a larger issue of organized retail crime, involving recruited "boosters" who steal goods for criminal outfits. Glenn noted that Home Depot has used data-driven discussions with merchants and operators to address shrink, citing an example where a specific product kit was purchased 4.2 times for every sale, which he framed as a business opportunity to improve gross margin. Glenn also mentioned the company's support for the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (CORKER), a bipartisan federal bill that has passed the House and been attached to the NDAA, awaiting Senate approval. He stated that the president has indicated he will sign it, and described it as the first federal organized retail crime act to provide resources, prosecutors, and coordination centers.
