Architects & Specifiers: We've Got Resources for You!

When it comes to designing safer buildings, having the right information and resources makes all the difference.

At Impact Security, we want to make it easier for architects and specifiers to explore physical security and retrofit security glazing options, understand performance considerations, and find the technical information needed to make informed decisions.

Here's how we can help:

Earn AIA Continuing Education Credits through our course on AEC Daily. Learn at your own pace online, join a live webinar, or schedule an in-person presentation.

Find us on ARCAT for specification tools and product information. Look for SpecWizard.

Explore our technical resources for performance data and product details to support your next project.

Whether you're working on a school, healthcare facility, retail space, or commercial building, we're here to help you navigate your security glazing options.

Retail crime is down. Prevention still matters.

While some retail crime measures have improved since 2024, the problem persists in various parts of the U.S. Reported shoplifting declined in cities studied in 2025, but rose again across the cities studied in early 2026. Trends vary by location and offense.

Understanding the categories helps explain the headlines:

▪️ Theft / shoplifting: Taking merchandise without force or threats against a person.
▪️ Burglary: Unlawfully entering a building with the intent to commit a crime, usually theft.
▪️ Robbery: Taking property using force or threats against a person—a violent crime.
▪️ Vandalism: Deliberately damaging or destroying property.

Smash-and-grab describes a method, not a single crime category. Breaking into doors or windows to steal valuables may involve theft, burglary, vandalism or robbery, depending on the circumstances.

“Nonviolent” crime doesn’t mean harmless. Stolen inventory, broken glass, costly repairs and business interruptions take a toll—and can leave employees and shoppers feeling unsafe.

Impact Security encourages retailers to assess vulnerable storefronts, doors and windows as part of a layered security strategy.

Financial institutions must balance open, welcoming environments with the need to protect employees, customers and critical areas.

Impact Security will participate in the Bank Facilities Forum, Oct. 5-7, 2026, at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego. The forum brings bank facilities, construction and corporate real estate leaders together for peer discussions, small-group presentations, one-on-one meetings and meaningful industry connections.

Impact Security looks forward to discussing a range of physical security solutions for financial institutions, including DefenseLite® retrofit security glazing, BulletShield™ ballistic glazing, SafeSuite™ hardened executive spaces, transaction drawers and counter barriers. These solutions can help strengthen entrances, transaction areas, employee workspaces, and other vulnerable locations against forced entry and ballistic threats.

Retail theft may be easing in some areas, but smash-and-grab attacks haven’t gone away.

After years of rising in-store theft, recent National Retail Federation research shows declines in shoplifting and merchandise theft among surveyed retailers. That’s encouraging—but businesses still face serious risks.

A recent WDHA report highlights 10 daytime smash-and-grab robberies targeting New Jersey jewelry retailers since January, including an incident at Bloomingdale’s in Hackensack. The reported attacks involved masked intruders using sledgehammers to breach storefronts and steal merchandise.

For business owners and facility managers, these incidents reinforce the need to evaluate vulnerable glass doors and windows as part of a comprehensive security plan.

Impact Security’s retrofit security glazing solutions can help strengthen existing glazing against forced entry, creating a physical barrier designed to delay intruders. Alongside surveillance, alarms and response planning, that added resistance can help businesses protect people, property and operations.
