~ In a recent press release, Governor Gavin Newsom announced the success of California's Organized Retail Crime Task Force (ORCTF) in combating organized retail theft. The task force, led by the California Highway Patrol (CHP), has seen record progress in July with a 212% increase in criminal investigations and 106% more arrests compared to the previous month.
According to the press release, the ORCTF conducted 128 investigations in July, resulting in the arrests of 167 suspects. This is more than double the total arrests from the previous month. Since January, the task force has facilitated 884 arrests and 448 investigations, recovering over $7.2 million worth of stolen goods.
Governor Newsom praised the efforts of the ORCTF and thanked the dedicated officers of CHP for their diligent work in enforcing laws and holding criminals accountable. He also highlighted the state's comprehensive approach to combat organized retail crime, which includes new measures to crack down on property crime and unprecedented police funding to local communities.

Since its inception in 2019, the CHP has arrested over 2,900 suspects and recovered more than $45 million worth of stolen assets through its relentless pursuit of organized retail crime. CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee stated that their targeted investigations and numerous arrests have actively disrupted and dismantled these crime rings that threaten communities and businesses.
The press release also mentioned Governor Newsom's investment of $1.1 billion since 2019 to fight crime and improve public safety. This investment has helped bring about significant results for the task force. The Governor's Real Public Safety Plan focuses on strengthening local law enforcement response, ensuring perpetrators are held accountable, and getting guns and drugs off our streets.
Last year, Governor Newsom distributed $267 million to 55 communities to help them combat organized retail crime. These funds have enabled cities and counties to hire more police officers, make more arrests, and secure more felony charges against suspects.

In addition to fighting organized retail crime, the CHP has also been actively involved in other operations to improve public safety. In a recent operation in Los Angeles, the Governor's Unified Cannabis Enforcement Taskforce successfully seized over 2 million illicit cannabis packages that were illegally marked with a forged California seal, posing a threat to public safety.
Governor Newsom has also urged schools to restrict cell phone use in classrooms as students return to campus for the new school year. In a letter to California schools, he emphasized the negative impact of cell phones on students' learning and urged them to take immediate action.
Overall, the efforts of the ORCTF and CHP have resulted in significant progress in combating organized retail crime and improving public safety in California. With continued support from the state government and local communities, they hope to continue their success in protecting businesses and communities from these criminal activities.
