What is the Arizona Organized Retail Crime Association?

The Arizona Organized Retail Crime Association (AZORCA) was formed in 2007 after law enforcement and corporate retail partners throughout Arizona realized the need to combine efforts to combat the growing problem of Organized Retail Crime (ORC). The group developed a website which was developed to allow AZORCA members to share intelligence relating to the businesses and communities we serve. This shared information includes, but is not limited to, crimes of organized theft, robberies, counterfeiting, check and credit card fraud, prescription fraud, identity theft and other scams. In short, any type of organized crime may be shared through this site.

AZORCA membership has grown since it’s creation to over a thousand members from front line LP/AP employees and Patrol Officers to business and government leaders. Membership has also created smaller breakout groups that have virtual or in person meetings in portions of the state to grow communications at a local level.

The AZORCA has partnered with Auror (A retail crime intelligence platform which is already in use by several large retailers and Law Enforcement agencies across the globe) to provide a cutting edge, super secure platform to communicate and map incidents. This gives all members the ability to search the platform to connect cases, establish patterns and trends while also ensuring the information shared is only accessed by approved individuals.

AZORCA's organizers also understand that we can be even more successful when we share information face to face. As such, we hold a monthly forum to network, share intelligence, and provide enhanced training on this new wave of retail crime when safe and appropriate to do so.

We invite loss prevention/asset protection and security professionals, along with all levels of law enforcement, to become members of AZORCA and contribute to the fight against ORC. Membership is FREE. Without you this Association will not be successful, so please join today!!!
