Beverly Hills can be a magnet for organized retail crime due to its worldwide reputation as a luxury shopping destination, which is why the Beverly Hills Police Department is teaching businesses how to best protect themselves.
On July 17, BHPD Sgt. Jeffrey Newman led a training for small business owners in collaboration with officers from the California Highway Patrol’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force.
