Ep. 19 Part 1: 1 in 48 — Why Hasn't the Needle Moved?
Friday, 8 May, 2026
From the floor of RILA RAP 2026 in Phoenix.15 years of better cameras. 15 years of better analytics. 15 years of faster alerts. And the retail theft arrest rate is still roughly 1 in 48.DJ Carr took that question to the people building the technology. In Part 1, he sits down with Jason Davies of Sekura Global, whose answer points past hardware tagging at the same structural problem detection alone cannot solve.Then DJ and Jim Cords debate where they diverge. Jim brings 28 years across FBI, DHS, and OIG. He'd start with funded enforcement. DJ brings private-sector roots in ground-level security and several years as a systems architect. He'd start with the data layer. They do not resolve it.They agree on one thing. A system that knows and cannot act is not a security system. It is an evidence system with no consumer.Part 2 drops next week with Chris Ochs of SAFR.Loss. Liability. Law.
