~ In a recent press release, Governor Gavin Newsom announced the success of California's Organized Retail Crime Task Force (ORCTF) in combating retail crime. Led by the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the task force has made over 1,000 arrests and recovered $7.8 million in stolen goods so far this year.
In August alone, the ORCTF facilitated 171 arrests and recovered 26,415 items of stolen property worth over half a million dollars. This brings the total number of investigations conducted by the task force to 573, surpassing the total number completed in all of 2023.
Governor Newsom praised the CHP's efforts and emphasized that the state will continue to crack down on organized crime to protect businesses and communities. He also highlighted his comprehensive approach to combatting retail crime, which includes increased funding for police and prosecutors in local communities.
Since its inception in 2019, the ORCTF has been involved in nearly 3,000 investigations, resulting in over 3,100 arrests and the recovery of almost $46 million worth of stolen goods. This success is a testament to Governor Newsom's commitment to public safety and his Real Public Safety Plan.

The plan focuses on strengthening local law enforcement response, holding perpetrators accountable, and removing guns and drugs from our streets. As part of this plan, Governor Newsom has invested $1.1 billion since 2019 to fight crime and help local governments hire more police officers.
Last year alone, the state distributed $267 million to 55 local law enforcement agencies to combat organized retail crime. This funding has enabled cities and counties to hire more police officers, make more arrests, and secure more felony charges against suspects.
The CHP has also reported a significant increase in proactive operations targeting organized retail crime since last year – a staggering 310% increase. Special operations have also been deployed across the state to improve public safety.
In other recent news, Governor Newsom signed three measures to address the use of deepfakes and other deceptive digitally generated or altered content in election campaigns. These measures aim to remove deceptive content from large online platforms and increase transparency in elections.

The Governor also signed two bills to protect the digital likeness of performers, requiring their consent for its use. This strengthens protections for workers in the entertainment industry.
In a separate update, Governor Newsom announced that in just two months, the CHP's East Bay surge operation has resulted in 329 arrests, 606 recovered stolen vehicles, and 35 seized firearms. This four-month enforcement surge is part of the state's efforts to combat crime and improve public safety.
Overall, these recent developments demonstrate Governor Newsom's commitment to protecting Californians and creating safer communities. With continued efforts from the ORCTF and increased support for local law enforcement, California is making significant progress in combatting organized retail crime.
