I can't stop thinking about the Seattle Police Department's recent Retail Theft Operation. Its location: A downtown drugstore; its result: "11 shoplifting suspects" arrested. How it went down: SPD detectives worked very closely with "loss prevention teams to identify prolific shoplifters in the store." In this manner, the detectives watched a number of people "gather items like clothing, makeup, food, and liquor, and then walk out of the store with no attempt to pay." After.
Since Black Friday, Officers from the Northwest and Northeast Area Commands have worked in conjunction with the Organized Crime Unit on multiple holiday operations to combat retail crime across the city.
