Creates a federal center to fight organized retail and cargo theft across state lines.
This bill would create a new federal center to help fight organized retail and cargo theft across state lines. It would give federal law enforcement more tools to go after groups stealing goods from stores and supply chains, aiming to reduce financial losses and violence for businesses and consumers.
Today, organized theft groups are causing significant financial losses and violence for retailers and the supply chain. Federal law enforcement faces challenges due to limited specific tools and cross-jurisdictional issues. If this bill becomes law, federal jurisdiction over organized retail and supply chain crime would expand. This includes lowering the monetary threshold for federal prosecution to an aggregate value of $5,000 or more over any 12-month period. It would also establish a new federal coordination center to align efforts among federal, state, local, territorial, and Tribal law enforcement agencies.
