Educating,
Communicating & Documenting the ORC Efforts
A
Thank You From the Daily's Team to the ORC Teams & Associations
Across North America
We at the D&D Daily would like to thank all of you who've allowed
us to share your news,
your stories and your histories with the entire retail LP
industry. We're honored that you've included us in your efforts and
look forward to continuing to do so well into the future.
With ORC now being recognized as the leading cause of theft
in the retail industry, it's more important now than ever to
communicate and document as much as we can publically in order to
hopefully persuade the
remaining 20 states to pass ORC legislation. With retail,
state, and city budgets being as tight as they are, it's also
imperative that we continue to share your news in a public forum
that enables any and all retailers, states and cities to quickly see
the reality of the matter and the facts that support their
continuing investment in the efforts.
As everyone knows, educating, communicating and documenting a
problem is the only way to gain the visibility needed to secure
the funding necessary to solve or fight it. We at the Daily are
committed to doing just that. But we need your help, your
stories, your cases and anything else you feel can add value to this
fight. We recently launched our new ORC Resource Center (orcinfo.com)
with these goals in mind, providing valuable investigative resources
and information, while also highlighting the ORC leaders, teams and
efforts that are making a difference.
ORC is never going away, and now that we're seeing the cybercrime
nexus it's more critical than ever that we educate the general
public and secure the funding for all of you. The Daily is here for
all of you and we're ready to help. All we need is your input.
Share your stories, your news, and your association's history & events, even
your Group LP Selfies, and let's see how it makes a difference.
Just a Thank You and a Thought.

from the United States of America," Judge Thomas Willmore said. "I don't control
that, but you need to know that is the consequence." Their arrest not only
