ANNUAL SEMINAR
Mandated by the crime clinic by-laws and a welcomed tradition since 1965, the Virginia State Crime Clinic’s annual seminar provides a vast array of presentations, demonstrations and exhibits. Held once a year in different localities, the annual seminar provides information on a wide variety of subjects important to the law enforcement and security professions. Another important benefit of the annual seminar is the fellowship and personal contact with law enforcement officers and security personnel from all parts of the Commonwealth. DCJS certified training is an attractive issue for sworn law enforcement officers and security professionals.

The purpose of this seminar is to build cohesion and partnerships between law enforcement agencies and private security services providing critical services to our constituencies. Building upon past conferences and trainings, this seminar will highlight a variety of pertinent and highly relevant topics delivered by exceptional trainers from across the Commonwealth and nation. Do not miss this excellent opportunity to experience firsthand how law enforcement and private security can join forces in an effort to make our communities safer. With so many different acts of crime and terrorism impacting our communities on a daily basis, now is a critical time to improve collaboration.

Addressing and Preventing Organized Retail Theft Crimes (4 HOURS)

This course examines the current trends and methods leading to the increases in retail theft. Through a multimedia presentation our instructor leads the attendees to understand organized retail crime (ORC) today. We will examine how technology has contributed to the problem as well as how it may be used to thwart its increase.

The course reveals the motivation and methods being employed in ORC, and provides methods being used to prevent and address it in North Carolina and elsewhere.
