    The past two years have seen a drastic rise in organized retail crime (ORC) and violence in retail environments. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, of more than two million assaults reported by United States law enforcement agencies in 2020, about four percent occurred in retail stores. Crime is also rising on healthcare campuses and corporate campuses. Local businesses can be powerful allies for police in the fight against crime, but may not know how to assist their law enforcement agencies. Through a technology partnership, businesses can enhance their local agency’s crime-fighting tools, ensure their perimeter and buildings are secure, and protect their employees, customers, and bottom line.
