New Group, Database Designed to Help Combat Organized Retail Theft in Illinois – WTTW (Chicago)

The Illinois Organized Retail Crime Association (ILORCA), a new group under the retail association’s umbrella, was formed to coordinate police, prosecutors, stores’ theft prevention teams and other stakeholders. The organization is funded through a state grant and helps facilitate collaboration with other organized retail crime associations across the nation, helping to build prosecutable cases across state lines.
