Organized retail crime (ORC) has transcended localized theft to become a sophisticated, multi-jurisdictional enterprise requiring a high-level strategic response. Law enforcement leaders recognize that focusing solely on apprehension is unsustainable; success requires pivoting to network disruption and successful enterprise-level prosecution. This criminal evolution demands a strategic blueprint that integrates proactive intelligence, cutting-edge technology, and seamless public-private sector partnerships.
This essential webinar, co-hosted by Police1 and LiveView Technologies (LVT), features a panel of career law enforcement and research experts, including Detective Steven Jensen and Dr. Cory Lowe of the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC). We’ll move beyond fundamental theory to examine the tactical and legal frameworks that have proven effective in Utah for targeting and disrupting established criminal pipelines. You will receive a detailed, peer-to-peer analysis of how agencies can transform their operational approach to achieve sustained, high-impact results against ORC.
This is a deep dive into the successful execution of a unified anti-ORC strategy. It will provide law enforcement decision-makers with the concrete knowledge necessary to secure budget justification, enhance investigative efficiency and build legally sound cases that result in meaningful consequences for organized criminal syndicates.
By attending this webinar, you will:
- Analyze the operational models and necessary jurisdictional agreements for creating a task force structured to achieve interstate network indictments rather than relying on lower-level, single-site charges.
- Discover how rapidly deployable, high-definition surveillance platforms provide the real-time, verifiable digital evidence needed to bridge intelligence gaps, trace criminal activity across multiple locations and elevate case complexity to the enterprise level.
- Learn proven strategies for establishing resilient data-sharing protocols with retail partners, ensuring investigators receive timely, legally admissible evidence packages, significantly reduce investigative hours and boost prosecution success rates.
