Beating Organized Retail Crime in Florida: A 2026 LP Playbook
ORC groups are hitting Florida retail harder each year. Here is what uniformed + covert LP actually recovers.
Organized Retail Crime (ORC) rings hit Florida retailers with coordinated boosting operations that move inventory to online marketplaces within hours. Deterrence alone doesn't work — you need case-building and prosecution support.
Layered LP model
Uniformed officers at the front door for deterrence.
Plain-clothes LP agents inside working the aisles with cases already in progress.
Analytics-driven staffing — heavy coverage during known ORC hit windows (weekday afternoons, weekend closings).
Case-building that leads to prosecution
Video, still images, and detailed loss estimates matched to POS data.
Coordination with local PD ORC task forces (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Orange County all run active units).
Attorney-ready incident packets with witness statements.
Cross-store intelligence sharing
Ranger clients share sanitized suspect intelligence across our Florida store portfolio. A group that hit Aventura on Tuesday often turns up in Sawgrass on Thursday.
What to measure
Recoveries in dollars.
Cases filed and prosecuted.
Shrink change year-over-year, controlled for revenue growth.
Officer-hours per case — a proxy for efficiency.
