In a landmark development, Governor Newsom unveiled today the largest-ever single investment to combat organized retail crime, with over $267 million allocated to law enforcement agencies across the state. Palm Springs emerged as a significant beneficiary of this financial injection, receiving about $4.5 million to tackle the rising tide of retail theft within the city. "It's an amazing amount of money for us to try to prevent and reduce retail theft in the city of Palm Springs," said Palm Springs Police Chief Andrew Mills.
