Welcome, and thank you for your interest in the LAAORCA program.

• LAAORCA was founded in 2009 by a core group of organized retail crimes loss prevention managers with the assistance of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Commercial Crimes Division (CCD).
• LAAORCA is a public/private business sector partnership for the Los Angeles Area retail investigators, law enforcement personnel and prosecutors.
• LAAORCA is currently co-chaired by Captain Bill Williams (Law Enforcement Co-Chair) and George Torres (Retail Co-Chair).
• By uniting businesses and law enforcement in a plan to reduce crime, communities will become a safer place to live, work and shop.  Corporate partnerships are more important than ever and far greater resources are needed to address the magnitude of the threats we now face.
• LAAORCA members share information on this on-line website and share cross jurisdictional cases, i.e. crime elements, suspect descriptions, resource deployment by law enforcement, and retail investigations at monthly meetings.
• Members are required to actively share high level ORC intelligence investigations and required to update this website regularly.
• LAAORCA provides a benefit of traditional retail competitors to collaborate with law enforcement agencies to resolve ORC investigations.
