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.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
