Several Middle Tennessee law enforcement agencies, including the Metro Nashville Police Department, Franklin Police Department and Mt. Juliet Police Department, have launched anti-retail theft operations ahead of the holiday season. All agencies have warned that individuals caught stealing from stores or breaking into cars will be arrested and prosecuted. According to WKRN News, shoplifting cases have risen by 20% this year in Mt. Juliet. As part of "Operation Safe Shopper," the Mt. Juliet Police Department plans to deploy mobile surveillance towers, increase patrols and assign more undercover officers. The Metro Nashville Police Department will work closely with mall security, with 10 to 12 detectives dedicated to the organized retail crime unit.
