The City of San Franciso, in collaboration with the police department, aims to tackle the rise in retail crimes through a new initiative in partnership with local retailers.

The Organized Retail Crime Initiative will result in an expansion of the police department’s Organized Retail Crime Unit while providing more resources to retailers amid ongoing theft.
