When Auror launched its Auror for ORCAs platform, it wanted to build a national movement against Organized Retail Crime. In just 10 months, that national movement has skyrocketed, with 15 ORCAs and thousands of retail and law enforcement users collaborating in the platform to reduce the impacts of crime in our communities.

At the ORCAs in Action Fall Summit, Auror VP of Retail Partnerships Bobby Haskins shared an eye-opening update into the progress so far, particularly around the impact of repeat offenders. Since deploying Auror's incident reporting and ORC investigation software for ORCAs, there have been almost 150 people identified who offend repeatedly, with more than 50% of them reported in multiple cities. Of these 150 people, 10% travel across state lines to commit retail crimes.

One case that several ORCAs and law enforcement agencies are collaborating on involves a national larceny group that's using magnetic keys to open widely-used retail merchandise protection. They have traveled over 3000 miles, across three states and have been responsible for over $100,000 in loss so far. All groups involved are currently working together to apprehend this group in California.

Bobby shared this quote from an ORC investigator, Cary Young:

"Auror has already benefited our National Task Force here in Houston! We have connected one of our most active ORC groups by other retailers' posts of the same individuals impacting their locations. Awesome platform!"

Auror for ORCAs is free, and always will be. If you or your ORCA is interested in the national ORCA movement, why not join the community.
