Minding the Store: Combating Crime at the Retail Level
MACo’s Summer Conference will cover a variety of topics highlighting the ways counties serve Marylanders and exploring solutions to local governance challenges.
One of those sessions, moderated by the State’s Attorney General, Anthony Brown, will discuss how to protect retail businesses from crime. Counties are very invested in both their local economies and public safety, so an in-depth discussion on this important topic will be a can’t-miss event!
