ORC
Joint Operation - Gilroy, CA
Gilroy, CA - There will be an ORC Operation in the
Gilroy Outlet Center on July 18 and 19, 2012.
The Gilroy Police Department
has committed that they will be a part of the
operation and CHP has indicated they are likely to
be involved in the operation as well. There have
been a few retailers that have committed that they
will be on site and involved but we will need more
participation in an effort that will be a major
offensive to Organized Retail Crime in the area. I
encourage you to contact me at:
rmiller@fnpc.com to stay in touch on the
operation as well as participate.
There is a news crew from NBC who is very interested
in the operation according to CHP and our position
on this is "that if the local news affiliate wants
to come and cover our handiwork AFTER we have landed
something and they want to film everyone all lined
up and stacks of recovered stolen product, they are
welcome to do so. However, we cannot make a decision
like this for every retailer involved in this
operation". Any retailer who wants to be involved in
this operation and doesn't want their company
information disclosed will have the right to that
privacy.
