Introducing RetailCrime.ai: a new content category and demand generation partnership at The D&D Daily
MENTOR, OHIO – October 26, 2026 – The D&D Daily, the leading news source for retail loss prevention and asset protection, today announced the launch of RetailCrime.ai.
RetailCrime.ai is the free Technology Enablement Hub designed for retail loss prevention executives, asset protection teams, and security professionals navigating the rapid integration of artificial intelligence in retail environments. As physical retail security and cyber fraud challenges grow more complex, the new hub provides interactive content, vendor discovery tools, original research, and industry-specific AI education.
Crime prevention in the AI economy
While modern technology presents unprecedented capabilities for retail, leaders often report significant gaps in vendor evaluation and dynamic, hyperlocal education. RetailCrime.ai aims to address these friction points by streaming research content, video-first media, free technology courses, and a dynamic solutions marketplace.
The hub brings together four core pillars:
- Research Content: Continual studies on AI adoption, readiness, and new technologies. Read the first report here (no contact info required).
- Free Courses: Programs designed to upskill AP/LP teams on AI governance and acceleration that are role, region, and product-specific – designed by partners and solution providers.
- Solution Marketplace: A directory of AI or AI-adjacent providers that lets retail buyers review verified capabilities, case studies, integration networks, and more.
- Interactive Content: A video-first content experience designed to entertain and educate – short films, live webinars, QnAs – paired with the always-trusted voice of The D&D Daily’s newsletter.

RetailCrime.ai is managed by Telakus Inc in partnership with The D&D Daily. Founded by a former marketing leader in the Retail Crime Intelligence space, Telakus brings expertise in technology go-to-market and multimedia content production to the partnership.
