Global retail crime intelligence software company Auror - which allows retailers and police in their communities to identify high-harm repeat offenders - has been recognized by the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC) for its work alongside retailers and law enforcement to tackle organized retail crime across the United States through evidence-based strategies.
Auror was selected as the Most Engaged Solution Partner in recognition of its ongoing engagement in the ORC Working Group, which was presented last week at the LPRC’s annual IMPACT Conference in Florida.
The event brought together the retail and law enforcement community to discuss trends in retail crime and technology solutions, like Auror’s retail crime intelligence platform, to take on high levels of prolific and violent retail crime.
Auror is one of 165 solution partners that work closely with LPRC’s retail members such as CVS, Ulta Beauty, Target, Kroger, Lululemon, IKEA, as well as law enforcement agencies, to lead research and find innovative solutions to deal with the issue of organized crime impacting retail stores across the US.
Auror Head of Law Enforcement for the Americas, and former Deputy Assistant Director of Homeland Security responsible for taking down transnational organized crime, Raul Aguilar said “we’re focused on building meaningful partnerships and doing whatever we can do to bring our frontline partners together to tackle this problem as one”.
“It’s a privilege to be working alongside our partners to find new solutions to the high volume, violent and organized crime problem that US retailers are facing,” he said.
“Organized retail crime is a violent, brazen and even transnational problem driven by a small group of prolific and violent offenders. Our Auror retailer data shows the top 10% of offenders are responsible for more than 66% of retail crime in the US, so it's critical the community comes together to explore new ways of identifying and focusing efforts on this group of high harm offenders.”
LPRC Director of Research Dr. Cory Lowe said he “appreciates Auror’s engagement and support of the ORC Working Group and the LPRC, as well as the work Auror does to address organized and violent retail crime in the United States and beyond”.
Retailers use Auror to make sense of high volume and serious organized offending allowing them to collaborate with police to focus their resources on prolific and often violent perpetrators. Last year, retailer information surfaced a major organized crime ring in Texas, linked to 28 other states and over 190 offenders - responsible for an estimated $1 billion in stolen goods since 2019 across major retailers.
