The Tucson Metro Chamber reengaged the Coalition Against Retail Theft after numerous reports of issues with retail theft and vandalism in and around businesses in Pima County. CART brings together business owners and law enforcement partners to brainstorm solutions to the issues businesses are facing. CART’s goal is to help create meaningful policy changes and arm business owners with information on how to protect their businesses and employees and assist in the prosecutorial process to hold thieves and vandals accountable.

We Watch, We Prosecute is a collaborative effort to increase cooperation between retailers, law enforcement and prosecutors to:

Raise awareness of the retail theft problem
Increase the tools retailers have to identify and help prosecute organized retail thieves
Change state law to enable local prosecutors to convert more misdemeanors into felonies to get organized retail thieves off the street, make our communities safer places to live and lower crime rates

“Frys Food Stores are part of our community, strive to support low prices for our customers and in doing so, work diligently with the Pima County prosecutors and all law enforcement agencies by participating in the “We Watch, We Prosecute” program. We have visual aids in retail stores to encourage and remind all honest consumers to help to curb organized retail theft. Our stores, our neighbors, our neighborhoods, working together for safe and crime free neighborhoods.”Joe Kopelic, Frys Food Store

Retailers who participate in a We Watch, We Prosecute workshops receive information about how they can participate with police and prosecutors to identify and convict my offenders. The program also includes a variety of free visual reminders for retail stores to remind honest consumers they are helping to curb organized retail theft and to remind potential offenders that they take this crime seriously.

Attend a We Watch, We Prosecute workshop to learn techniques to combat organized retail theft, protect your store and make customers feel safe.
