Walgreens tests body cameras for NYC store workers to boost safety amid theft concerns, with privacy rules and no immediate expansion.

Walgreens is testing voluntary body-worn cameras for employees at select New York City stores to improve safety and de-escalate conflicts amid rising retail theft concerns. The pilot, active in some borough locations, includes privacy safeguards and complies with laws, though specific stores and inclusion of Hudson Valley locations remain unclear. The move is part of broader retail efforts to enhance security, with no plans announced for wider rollout.
