Join
us for the premier conference of the Carolinas Organized Retail Crime Alliance
(CORCA)!
 The
Carolinas Organized Retail Crime Alliance (CORCA) will host its premier
Annual Conference on September 8, 2016 in Charlotte, NC with a Welcome Reception
on the evening of September 7.
Formed in February 2016, CORCA is a partnership
organized through the North Carolina Retail Merchants Association (NCRMA) and
the South Carolina Retail Association (SCRA). CORCA is an Alliance of retail
businesses and law enforcement agencies working to combat organized retail crime
activity in the Carolinas, through the Retail Consumer Alliance Foundation.
 This
event will bring law enforcement together with retailers specializing in asset
protection, loss prevention, and emergency and risk management fields, along
with prosecutors, district attorneys, and policy makers. This will provide an
opportunity to network, learn about the trends surrounding retail crime in the
Carolinas, and connect with vendors on innovative products in the field today. A
wide-range of topics will be covered throughout the day at both the general and
breakout sessions. Presentations will be focused on some of the most pressing
retail crime issues, such as organized retail crime, cybersecurity, return
fraud, e-commerce, emergency preparedness, asset protection technology, and the
private and public sector partnerships in the Carolinas.
The incomparable
exchange of knowledge will benefit retailers, law enforcement, and other
partners across the Carolinas. Our area is a hub for organized retail crime with
major highways, such as Interstates 85 and 95, running along the eastern
corridor and right through North and South Carolina. It is imperative that we
work together to strengthen and expand this alliance, because together we can
better identify organized retail theft networks and combat retail crime.
We hope you will consider joining us!
