Establishes the Organized Retail Theft Coordination Center in the Department of Public Safety
HB 2648 establishes the Organized Retail Theft Coordination Center within Missouri's Department of Public Safety to coordinate state and local law enforcement efforts against organized retail theft. The Center will share threat information with law enforcement agencies and affected businesses (like retailers and transportation companies), track theft trends through annual public reports, and support investigations and loss prevention activities. It requires an evaluation of existing anti-theft programs by March 2027 and mandates reports on the Center's activities, with the program set to expire six years after the bill's effective date unless renewed.
