Cook County State’s Attorney, Motorola Solutions, JCPenney and Others Join Together to Fight Organized Crime

Business Wire
Motorola Solutions Inc. (NYSE: MSI) is combining its
public safety and retail technology to assist the Cook County
Regional Organized Crime (CCROC) task force in ongoing efforts to
combat organized crime, including retail theft. The National Retail
Federation estimates businesses are losing up to $30 billion each
year to organized retail crime. CCROC is a task force of law
enforcement and retail partners formed by the State’s Attorney’s
Office in 2010 to battle the escalating crimes of organized retail
theft and fencing in the Chicago metropolitan area. CCROC is
unveiling a new strategic operations training center, which will
serve as the main crime information hub for the task force.
JCPenney is donating the 5,500 square-foot facility located in the
North Riverside, Ill. Mall, which will house law enforcement
offices for various police departments, government agencies and
retailers for the purpose of hands-on training and
collaboration.
The center will utilize technology from Motorola’s Real-Time
Crime Center solution, which was introduced earlier this year, to
bring together streaming video, incident and criminal complaints,
access to arrest records, photographs, multi-media inputs and more.
All this data – which currently resides in separate databases – can
be integrated together by CCROC to provide crime solving
intelligence in seconds instead of hours or even days as done
today. The Real-Time Crime Center solution correlates the data into
intelligence to help curb crime as it happens, aid in longer-term
investigations and potentially increase both arrest and prosecution
rates. Situational awareness made available with Motorola’s
Real-Time Crime Center solution is made actionable with the
integration of a radio console to enable real-time direct voice
communications with officers in the field and real-time video
streaming to a vehicle or handheld device over existing carrier or
private wireless networks.
Stolen merchandise such as razors, alcohol, baby formula or
cologne is typically “fenced” through brick and mortar businesses
or online. Shutting down these operations is often a time-consuming
and difficult process. With the help of the Real-Time Crime Center
solution, retailers and law enforcement officers can work together
quickly and easily to apprehend the “boosters” who steal from the
stores as well as identify and shut down large fencing
organizations and criminal enterprises.
KEY FACTS
- Motorola’s Real-Time Crime Center
solution allows law enforcement officers to approach an incident
armed with more operational intelligence than ever before. Inputs
from multiple data sources such as video, sensors, alarms,
computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and records are unified to deliver
one operational view.
- The Real-Time Crime Center solution
helps increase situational awareness and direct deployment of
resources. Analysts at the center can see calls coming in and pull
up video images from the scene immediately. As officers are
responding, video footage and still images can be sent to their
vehicles providing a description of the suspects and potential
whereabouts. This speeds response time and gives officers a head
start before they arrive on scene.
- With the Real-Time Crime Center
solution, CCROC will be able to expediently capture and provide
field officers and investigators with instant, comprehensive
information to help identify suspects, crime patterns and prevent
emerging crime. Analysts can obtain substantial information on
suspects, including pictures, addresses and other identifiers to
provide quicker apprehension, arrest and prevention of other crimes
by these offenders.
- CCROC’S purpose is to provide a
communication and operational structure to reduce organized crime.
Traditionally, law enforcement and retail organizations have worked
independently of each other. The Real-Time Crime Center solution
enables CCROC to work closely with retailers on a common goal which
positively affects the outcome of investigations, the community and
potentially saves retailers money.
- CCROC members at-large include multiple
police agencies throughout Illinois, national retailers and banks.
The organization’s goal is to add full-time analysts to improve
collaboration and share appropriate intelligence among all
jurisdictions, retailers and financial institutions.
- The strategic operations training
center is located within a private space at the North Riverside,
Ill. Mall JCPenney location. JCPenney donated the previously unused
space for the project, making it possible to house pivotal crime
information in one central location.
SUPPORTING QUOTES
Anita Alvarez, Cook County State’s Attorney
“Here in Cook County we have been working in unprecedented ways
to increase the investigation and prosecution of organized retail
theft and this new operations center is going to provide us with an
extraordinary opportunity to continue to bridge the gap between law
enforcement and retailers. Thanks to the generous commitment of our
retail partners, we are a model for the nation in battling this
type of crime that has such a menacing impact on the average
consumer.”

“The rise of organized crime is finding its way into retail
settings and expanding into financial exploitation of customers and
consumers. The integration of Motorola’s Real-Time Crime Center
solution in the CCROC initiative demonstrates how public/private
partnerships can help combat this problem.”
Stan Welch, vice president, JCPenney Loss Prevention
“We’re proud to be a founding partner of the CCROC task force,
