Retailers and Law Enforcement
The LP Industry Collaboration Award recognizes a multi-agency or cross-organizational effort that delivers meaningful impact for retail loss prevention — led by retailers, or by law enforcement working directly with retailers. This award honors partnerships that strengthen investigations, improve outcomes, and advance industry-wide response to retail crime through shared strategy, coordination, and results.
- The initiative must be led by one or more retailers, or by a law-enforcement agency partnering directly with retailers.
- Supporting partners may include solution providers, prosecutors, community organizations, associations, or other stakeholders, but they cannot serve as the lead entity.
- Initiatives led by trade associations or industry groups (e.g., RILA, NRF, regional retail associations) are not eligible.
- Efforts should demonstrate measurable or clearly evidenced impact on retail crime, investigations, safety, or collaboration outcomes.
- Eligible initiatives may be local, regional, or national in scope and must reflect activity during the current or most recent award year.
Nominations are NOW OPEN - Nominations will be open until mid-April 2026
VOTING OPENS IN MAY 2026 - Check back in May for more details.
