TJ Maxx & Marshalls Employees To Start Wearing Body Cameras

TJX Companies the parent company of retail stores such as TJ Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods — is equipping employees with body cameras to thwart theft. Over the past year, the company started using body cameras in certain stores across its U.S. portfolio, which also includes Sierra and Home Sense, as a means to “de-escalate incidents, deter crime, and demonstrate to our Associates and customers that we take safety in our stores seriously,” a TJX Companies spokesperson told FOX Business. The cameras are worn specifically by loss prevention associates, who are trained on how to use the cameras effectively, and the footage is “only shared upon request by law enforcement or in response to a subpoena,” the spokesperson said.
