WR’s Director of Policy & Government Affairs, Crystal Leatherman, recently attended the Western States Organized Retail Crime Alliance (WSORCA) Conference alongside the Washington Organized Retail Crime Alliance (WAORCA).
The WSORCA Conference brings together retailers, loss prevention specialists, law enforcement, and industry partners to share best practices, discuss emerging trends, and strengthen collaboration in the fight against organized retail crime.
WAORCA Vice President Carl Kleinknecht delivered a critical presentation on proactive awareness, emphasizing the importance of staying ahead of evolving threats through vigilance, communication, and collaboration.
Conference sessions highlighted the importance of public-private partnerships, innovative prevention strategies, and the critical role of information sharing in protecting both businesses and communities.
Participating with WAORCA at this annual event provided valuable opportunities to exchange ideas with experts across sectors and to bring back insights that will help guide WR’s ongoing work on public safety and retail crime prevention legislation in Washington.
