Organized Retail Crime Blitz Planning
The purpose of an ORC Blitz Operation: A coordinated effort which aligns retailers and law enforcement to increase DETECTION, INTERDICTION, and DISRUPTION of organized retail crime impacting your community.
Elevated in-store activity will create higher volumes of incidents and better expose repeat offenders and organized crews.
The goal is not only increased enforcement, but converting activity into actionable intelligence, stronger cases, and long-term disruption of ORC networks.
PLANNING IS CRITICAL: MAORCA has the TOOLS for your success!
1. Law Enforcement Resource Menu
This lays out the menu of law enforcement options available for a successful ORC Blitz.
PLAN EARLY | CHOOSE DELIBERATELY | EXECUTE WITH PURPOSE
This is not a script to follow blindly — it's a menu of sorts, a menu of capabilities you select from based on your agency's resources and priorities. Everything in this menu has been proven successful by other agencies during prior blitzes; departments across the country have seen these work. But this truly is a give-you-all-the-options approach — what you choose to implement during the blitz is one hundred percent up to your command leadership, based on your resources and what you want to get out of this event.
2. Blitz Planning Template
Everything is easier to execute when it's written down in a plan — and you don't have to build that from scratch. We've created an ORC Blitz Planning Template: a fillable packet that walks you from preplanning through briefing, execution, and after-action debrief.
It includes operation snapshots, a planning timeline, retail partner coordination, staffing and resource assignments, legal and charging alignment, safety and contingency planning, results tracking, and a post-blitz debrief — mostly as simple checklists you tailor to your agency.
