Universal Surveillance Systems Launches StopORC.org Website to Fight Organized Retail Crime -- RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Feb 7 2013

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal Surveillance Systems LLC (USS), a leader in the fight against organized retail crime (ORC), has engineered www.StopORC.org to provide a centralized exchange for information and education in combatting ORC. Designed for anyone requiring a comprehensive ORC resource such as loss prevention professionals, law enforcement officials, legislators, prosecutors, judges and students writing research papers, the site contains current news, articles, information, terminology and links pertaining to ORC.

The mission of StopORC.org is to fight organized retail crime through information sharing, education and advocacy, while strengthening the cause of loss prevention on a global level. StopORC.org is a non-commercial site that does not endorse any company or product. As a collaborative resource, StopORC.org welcomes submissions of articles and papers relating to ORC by those focused on fighting ORC. Site direction is provided by an advisory board comprised of experts in ORC. There is no cost to utilize the site, but only pre-qualified users can access restricted sections to prevent sensitive industry information from being disseminated to the general public.

USS President and CEO Adel Sayegh said, "Each year ORC thieves bleed over $30 billion from retailers, and it has to stop. That's why USS created StopORC.org: To organize and give everyone dealing with ORC the necessary knowledge and resources to stop the bleeding. Our pledge is 'Justice is coming.' We urge everyone involved in combatting ORC to join this movement through StopORC.org. Engage, collaborate, learn. The time is now."

In addition hosting information such as white papers and news, StopORC.org will also be launching a series of free motivating educational webinars and podcasts on ORC given by professionals in the loss prevention, legislative, law enforcement and academic fields. The first StopORC Webinar is scheduled for late February. Details will be available on the website.

Blogger Services

Customized Newsfeeds

Don't let the name PR Newswire for Journalists dissuade you. This is a great service for bloggers. Any content creator -- whether you're a journalist, freelancer or blogger -- can set up a customized profile to receive releases based on preferences. You also have access to hi-res photos, media-only content such as media advisories and embargoed releases, and experts via ProfNet.

ProfNet

ProfNet Connect

ProfNet Connect is a free, interactive online community where PR professionals, experts, and media professionals can network and engage with one another. Via profiles, forums and blogs, subject-matter experts can position themselves as the go-to source for content creators and journalists. In turn, content creators can search the site by keyword to find the experts they need. The site also features enhanced profile capabilities, allowing users to easily add multimedia components -- photos, videos, white papers and more -- to their profiles.

News Widget

Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
