U.S. cities and retailers are increasing security measures as concerns over crime grow among potential shoppers. In response to recent thefts and robberies, cities like San Francisco and Sweetwater, Florida are implementing initiatives to enhance police presence and ease public fears. A Gallup poll shows that more Americans fear becoming victims of crime, with high percentages expressing concerns about walking alone at night and car theft. Law enforcement agencies are conducting raids and arrests to combat organized shoplifting rings, while cities like Beverly Hills are utilizing police drones and surveillance cameras to monitor and deter criminal activity.
