Organized Retail Crime Center Authorization Act of 2023
This bill establishes a center—the Organized Retail Crime Coordination Center—within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to coordinate the federal law enforcement activities related to organized retail crime. Organized retail crime typically refers to large-scale retail theft and fraud by organized groups of professional shoplifters, or boosters, who make money by stealing merchandise and reselling it for a fraction of the retail cost.
The bill also requires DHS and the Department of Justice to jointly isssue formal guidance to relevant agencies and offices for modifying or expanding the prioritization of training and technical assistance designed to counter organized retail crime.
