Organized Retail Crime (ORC) is a serious problem that has been on the rise for several years. The unprecedented event of the current pandemic will rival or even exceed any previous events. If COVID-19 by itself wasn't bad enough, add civil disturbance, bail reform, and the state of law enforcement, and you have a perfect storm. Enterprise security executives, especially retail security, need to be prepared for a significant surge in retail theft and ORC activity.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe how history has proven that theft increases after national and global events that have a significant economic impact.
- Postulate how post-COVID-19, retailers are likely on the verge of a substantial increase in internal theft and organized retail crime (ORC).
- Debunk some of the myths and misconceptions about ORC, to include how it differs from traditional shoplifting.
- Recognize the value of partnerships with other retailers to respond to an increase in ORC activity as retail stores begin to reopen after months of closures.
