Opelika, AL

“The influx of shoppers ahead of the holiday season creates additional complexities at brick and mortar locations. In an effort to best serve the friends and families that make up the heart of Opelika, we are excited to partner with LVT and our valued local retailers to streamline response efforts and bolster community safety.”
—Opelika Chief of Police Shane Healey

Paducah, Ky

“Paducah is a regional shopping hub with numerous national and local retailers. As such, Paducah sees increased retail crime, particularly during the fast-approaching holiday shopping season. We are constantly working to improve the quality of life and decrease crime in Paducah. We believe that deploying LVT’s security units in partnership with local retailers will improve our ability to diminish crime and care for not only our citizens, but also visitors to Paducah.”
—Paducah Police Chief Brian Laird

WHAT IS THE ACCESS TASKFORCE?

The ACCESS Taskforce, or Alliance of Companies and Communities to Enhance Safety and Security, is a four-pronged effort to increase community safety by reducing retail crime. Local retailers, government, and the police departments work with LVT to collect and share data that tracks retail crimes.

Collecting the Data

Putting The Team In Action

The ACCESS Taskforce was put to the test in Opelika, AL and Paducah, KY. LVT deployed nearly 50 mobile surveillance units to the retail parking lots in the two cities. Once the units were placed, retailers, police, and the cities shared data with the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC) who helped track trends and anonymize the data. This data is available to the public, and will allow participants to get ahead of crime to make their cities safer.

Lasting Change

Working as a Team to Increase Safety

“The goal of ACCESS is change. We want to challenge the status quo and start working together to solve these problems instead of working as siloed or individual cities, retailers, police departments, and solution providers.”
