Walmart is piloting the use of body cameras by employees in its Denton, Texas stores to enhance safety. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to address safety in the retail environment, coinciding with increased concerns about retail theft and violence. Although the program is still in its initial testing phase, Walmart plans to evaluate its effectiveness before considering expansion. The use of body cameras is aimed at ensuring both employee and customer safety rather than directly targeting theft.
