Countering Organized Retail Crime & Human Trafficking (Webinar)
There is growing evidence that a significant portion of organized retail crime is driven by human traffickers who force their victims to steal and commit financial fraud and other crimes. Some traffickers force victims to shoplift items or purchase gift cards for them, which can then be used to fund trafficking operations without a paper trail. Reselling shoplifted goods and exchanging gift cards for cash enables traffickers to launder money and profit from their victims, in addition to forcing them into commercial sex or other types of labor.
To learn more, join Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking (BEST) and MAORCA for a 1-hour webinar on intersections between ORC and human trafficking, and how retail leaders can help counter both kinds of crime: Thursday, May 14th, 2026 at 1pm.
This 1-hour human trafficking prevention training webinar will provide an overview of what human trafficking is and how it intersects with organized retail crime, particularly in retail store settings. Being equipped to recognize and respond effectively to behavioral indicators of human trafficking is vitally important for retailers -- both to prevent further exploitation and to increase the safety of their staff, customers, and stores.
Presentation Outline:
How human trafficking is defined in U.S. law, including labor and sex trafficking.
How human trafficking intersects with organized retail crime, particularly in retail store settings.
Trafficking-related risks to retailers.
Means of human trafficking: Force, fraud and coercion.
Behavioral indicators of identify human trafficking and how to identify them.
How to respond to potential human trafficking incidents in retail settings
Ways retail leaders can prevent human trafficking.

2025 MAORCA & MRA ORC Conference (June 2025)
Join the MARYLAND RETAILERS ALLIANCE 2025 ORC Conference, co-hosted by MAORCA!
National ORC Blitz
We’re calling on all MAORCA members to join forces in support of a National Organized Retail Crime Blitz, set for the week of May 26, 2025.
This initiative is being coordinated by the Cook County State's Attorney’s Office and the CCROC Task Force, with support from RILA and the NDAA. The goal is simple but critical: disrupt and dismantle local ORC networks by coordinating focused enforcement operations across the country.
Retailers across the U.S. are seeing sharp increases in violent theft, habitual offenders, and illegal fencing operations. This blitz sends a strong message—retail theft is not low-risk or victimless. It threatens store employees, communities, and is often tied to broader criminal activity like drug trafficking and fraud.
Over 30 states are already involved. MAORCA encourages all members—law enforcement, retail investigators, and prosecutors—to take part in this important effort. After the blitz, participating groups will regroup to share results, intelligence, and lessons learned.
What you need to do:
Coordinate a local ORC blitz during the week of May 26
Review the CHP training and sample Operations Planning doc here
Let CCROC know you're participating by emailing inquiry@ccroc.org
If you have any questions or need help planning your blitz, feel free to reach out. This is a chance to show that our region is ready and committed to protecting our stores, our workers, and our neighborhoods.
Thank you for continuing to stand on the front lines in this fight.
