According to CNBC, Walmart has begun providing store-level employees with body cameras to wear as part of a test program at certain U.S. sites.
The number of Walmart shops that have the recording devices is unknown, but according to witnesses and internet images.
Some of them now have signs at the entrance alerting customers that the company has “body-worn cameras in-use.”
A customer posted a picture of an associate verifying receipts wearing a yellow-and-black body camera to CNBC earlier this month in at least one store in Denton, Texas, which is around 40 miles north of Dallas.
A Walmart representative told CNBC, “We are constantly looking at new and innovative technology used across the retail industry, even though we don’t talk about.
The specifics of our security measures.” “We are testing this pilot in one market, and before we make any longer-term decisions, we will assess the results.”
