Governor Kathy Hochul, alongside fellow legislators and small business owners from across New York, came together to endorse a comprehensive statewide initiative aimed at combating organized retail theft. Governor Hochul's anti-theft strategy, featured in her FY25 Executive Budget proposal, allocates $25 million for the establishment of a specialized retail theft unit within the New York State Police, $15 million for District Attorneys and local law enforcement, and $5 million to address security needs for businesses. Additionally, the plan introduces new legislation to safeguard retail workers from assaults and to clamp down on the online sale of stolen merchandise.
