As RILA brings retail safety and asset protection into sharper focus, retail leaders are concentrating on readiness for unexpected threats, and the data shows why. In the FBI’s 2023 Active Shooter Incidents report, 14 of 48 incidents occurred in the “commerce” category, with 131 total casualties (killed + wounded) in commerce locations. And according to the BLS Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, about 30% of fatalities in the retail trade sector in 2023 were homicides. Violence is a real safety issue for retail workers. This is a strong reminder of the risks they face on the job.
Why We’re Going to RAPC
That’s why Omnilert is attending RILA’s Retail Asset Protection Conference (RAPC) in Phoenix, April 19–22, 2026, to connect with asset protection and safety leaders and share ways to detect threats earlier and communicate faster when seconds matter. If you’re attending, we’d love to meet.
We’re also there to listen. Every retailer’s environment is different – camera coverage, staffing models, store footprints, internal procedures and local response expectations. RAPC is the place to have high-value conversations about what’s working, what’s not and what it takes to build a safer, more prepared organization across stores, distribution centers and corporate sites.
What Omnilert Offers: AI Gun Detection + Emergency Notification in One Platform
Omnilert helps organizations respond to threats and emergencies with two capabilities that work together:
- AI Gun Detection: Designed to detect visible firearm threats in real time using existing security cameras, so you can be aware of a potentially dangerous situation sooner.
- Emergency Notification: Rapid, multi-channel alerts that help get consistent instructions to the right people and support coordinated response workflows.
Together, these capabilities reduce uncertainty in the most time-critical moments. Instead of disconnected tools and delayed handoffs, teams can follow a clearer path from detection to notification, supporting faster decisions and more consistent communication across sites.
What You’ll See When You Meet with Omnilert
When you meet with our team at RAPC, you’ll get a retail-focused walkthrough of how Omnilert supports critical incident response. We can cover:
- How AI gun detection works with your existing cameras
- How verification and incident intelligence help you make decisions with confidence
- How multi-channel emergency notifications get to the right people fast
- How automated workflows support escalation, procedures and coordinated response
- How you can use a central operational view to manage incident communications and decision-making
We’ll also talk through your environment, things like the number of locations, coverage goals, notification audiences and what a practical rollout would look like. If you’re short on time, we can keep the meeting to 15–20 minutes and follow up after the show with a deeper demo.
See You in Phoenix
