Retailer Workplace Violence Policies and Programming
In the Spring of 2021, the LPRC published a report on research it conducted about the workplace violence-related policies and programming retailers had in place in late 2020. The following provides a summary of the study’s findings, which establishes a helpful context for the LPRC’s future work on this critical issue.
This report looks at the literature and current research on Workplace Violence policies.

This brief flea markets paper is part of LPRC’s continuing look at TDCs (theft demand centers). We firmly believe TDCs like online selling, pawnshops, flea markets/swap meets, etc. help create the demand or “suction” that pulls your merchandise out of stores by thieves including boosters. TDCs enable, encourage, and enrich thieves by providing ready cash for your goods. The more we understand the dynamics of TDCs, the better we can focus and test cost-effective solutions.

The LPRC would like to welcome Flock Safety as a new member to the community! Flock Safety is a public safety operating system that helps communities and law enforcement in over 1,500 cities work together to eliminate crime, protect privacy, and mitigate bias. They build devices that capture objective evidence and use machine learning to detect and deliver unbiased investigative leads to law enforcement. Flock Safety is a great addition to the LPRC.
Preliminary Findings from Interviews with ORC Team Leaders
This brief discusses preliminary findings from interviews with anti-ORC team leaders, including how they are evaluating their teams’ performance. Results show that several members are evaluating their teams based on both the “means” and “ends” of successful investigations. In other words, they are evaluating their teams and individual team members on whether they are doing things that promote successful investigations (e.g., using technology, collaborating with partners), as well as investigation outcomes (e.g., arrests and prosecutions).
The LPRC held its inaugural LPRC team bowling tournament. The Research and Operations Teams went head to head in a very close tournament. With Operations Team narrowly winning, this new sports rivalry is something to keep an eye on!
