The Coalition of Law Enforcement and Retail (CLEAR) is a non-profit, non-partisan national association dedicated to enhancing community safety through public-private partnerships. Founded in November 2008 by law enforcement and retail loss prevention professionals, CLEAR provides a collaborative forum where members from both sectors share expertise and strategies to combat crime.
The organization’s mission is to build initiatives focused on improving security and advancing the professional development of its members. This is achieved through:
Training and Education: CLEAR hosts seminars and events providing insights into crime prevention, asset protection, and loss mitigation.
Collaborative Networking: By encouraging communication between government agencies and private sector leaders, CLEAR helps disrupt criminal activities—ranging from traditional crime to complex financial and cyber threats.
Advocacy: CLEAR serves as a national advocate for public-private partnerships, tracking legislation and promoting enforcement activities that protect the public and the retail industry.
Headquartered in Coral Springs, Florida, CLEAR operates with the support of national retail sponsors and technology partners. It remains a vital resource for professionals seeking to create a safer environment through teamwork, shared intelligence, and professional excellence in the fields of organized retail crime and public safety.
