Purpose

Organized Retail Crime groups can travel quickly through our New England region and often conduct thefts from multiple retailers. Information sharing can help identify suspects. The NEORCA board will be present to answer questions pertaining to issues within your community. The vendor NEORCA uses to enter and track these groups and incidents is Auror. Auror leadership will provide training for their site and web application. This will include an overview for retail and law enforcement.
