Ed Fritz is the Crime Prevention Supervisor for the City of Boise Police Department and the Chair of ORCAID – the Organized Retail Crime Association of Idaho. An experienced supervisor with a demonstrated history of working in both government administration and retail crime prevention, Ed frequently speaks on these topics as a key thought leader in the industry. 

The relationship between Auror and the teams Ed leads has been a gamechanger for addressing ORC in the US. Over time, we’ve been able to form similar ORCA partnerships across the country and grow our network for good. 

Ed has truly set the standard for what successful collaboration looks like. In this episode, we’ll dive into that and specifically look at the retailer/law enforcement collaboration opportunity.
