Sensormatic Solutions by Johnson Controls Releases 2021 North America Holiday
Shopping Recap Based on Shopper Traffic Analytics
●
Sensormatic Solutions accurately predicted nine
out of ten busiest days in the U.S. and five out of five busiest days in Canada
●
Shopper traffic data indicates that visits to
physical stores for the 2021 holiday season accounted for 35.8% of the total
season's brick-and-mortar traffic
●
Supply chain disruptions shifted shopping
earlier in the season, with fewer consumers saving their shopping for the last
minute
 Sensormatic
Solutions, the leading global retail solutions portfolio of
Johnson Controls,
today released its annual traffic and behavior trends recap for the 2021 holiday
season for the U.S. and Canada. This includes the period of six weeks spanning
from the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 21, 2021, through Saturday, Jan.
1, 2022. The annual recap is informed by retail traffic data analytics within
the company's intelligent operating platform,
Sensormatic
IQ.
The final shopper traffic data showed that Sensormatic Solutions initial
prediction of the
top busiest shopper traffic days in the U.S. aligned with the actual busiest
days in stores. Sensormatic Solutions also originally predicted that the 10
busiest shopping days in the U.S. would account for approximately 40% of all
holiday traffic. Altogether, the actual 2021 busiest shopping days accounted for
35.8% of the total season's brick-and-mortar traffic.
Traffic for the full six-week period was down -19.5% in the U.S., compared to
2019, the last pre-pandemic year. This is an improvement from 2020 when
holiday traffic was down -33.1% compared to 2019.

The Ripple Effect of Retail Theft
Shoplifting Is Scaring Retailers. Wall Street Should Worry, Too
Wall Street is desperately trying to figure out where consumer demand is going.
Alongside sentiment and sales,
there's another indicator worth watching: shoplifting.
This metric is rarely talked about. It's uncomfortable for retail executives to
acknowledge that their customers or, worse still, their employees are stealing
from them. But
theft has long been a bugbear for retailers,
and it's now been thrust into the spotlight by a spate of increasingly violent
robberies across the U.S.
 Although
these losses were the work of organized criminal gangs, and far from small-scale
pilfering, the two can't be completely disaggregated.
Shoplifting, large and small, tends to rise during times of crisis.
As inflation makes things harder for more families, retail theft data will be a
telling gauge for consumer distress.
Jack L. Hayes International, Inc., a Florida-based loss-prevention consultancy,
has been surveying retailers on theft for 33 years. In 2020, the store groups
reported a significant increase in the instances of theft for need. With U.S.
food prices rising the most in 13 years in November, expectations are that
this will become even more of a problem in 2022.
This comes against the backdrop of a rise in organized retail crime. The Retail
Industry Leaders Association, whose members include Target Corp., Best Buy Co
Inc. and Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc., estimates that $68.9 billion worth of
products were stolen from retailers in 2019, about 1.5% of total retail sales,
due to organized gangs. The average amount recovered from apprehended
shoplifters has risen sharply since 2016, as raiders have become more prolific,
according to Jack L. Hayes. But
just a tiny fraction of stolen goods is ever recovered from shoplifters, so
overall losses to stores are much bigger.
In the past, stolen goods were often disposed of through flea markets or pawn
shops. The explosion in online shopping has made it easier for gangs to resell
them without getting caught. Stores are seeing the typical targets go missing -
razor blades, infant formula, cosmetics and personal care products can be easily
sold off again - but they're also reporting more theft of larger-ticket items -
from designer clothes and handbags to power tools.
Retailers are pressing lawmakers to take shoplifting more seriously.
Last month, a letter signed by 20 CEOs urged Congress to pass legislation
requiring online marketplaces to collect and verify third-party sellers'
identities and financial details, and forcing high-volume sellers to disclose
contact information to consumers.
Even these measures, though, might not be enough to deter theft. The last time
consumers were under severe strain -
in the wake of the 2007 financial crisis, amid rampant job losses and spikes in
prices for food and fuel - shoplifting surged.

'A loaded gun in every aisle'
Hy-Vee reveals more information about new retail security team
 The
shoulder patches say, "A Helpful Smile in Every Aisle," but the
police-style uniforms,
complete with belts with holstered taser and possibly handguns,
may send a very different message as Hy-Vee deploys a new retail security team
in its stores.
The West Des Moines-based supermarket chain will begin introducing its own
security force "as part of its ongoing efforts
to ensure the health
and safety of both its customers and employees,"
the company announced in a
news release on Dec. 29. The program will roll out throughout 2022, but
security teams are already present in some stores.
Internal job postings reveal that security officers
will patrol and monitor
the premises and "if needed, [apprehend] theft suspects
in compliance with Hy-Vee's standards and guidelines."
Other listed duties include:
●
Exhibiting respect, concern and patience in all customer and employee
interactions.
●
Monitors the store property, as well as customer and employee activities
●
Takes appropriate action to prevent theft; apprehends individuals engaged in
theft activity.
●
Reports any internal theft suspicions and observations to Loss Prevention Area
Manager.
●
Assists Loss Prevention with investigations.
●
Makes recommendations to Directors regarding loss prevention best practices.
●
Contacts and coordinates with law enforcement regarding known offenders or
suspicious persons
●
Reports unsafe conditions inside and outside of the store to management.
While the news release did not say whether security team members will be armed,
the job posting requires applicants to "be able to demonstrate proficiency with
duty weapon" and "to pass [a] designated handgun qualification course." They
must also complete a defensive tactic course.
A video released by Hy-Vee shows the
security team members
carrying a handgun, taser, pepper spray, two magazine pouches, handcuffs, a
flashlight and wearing a body camera.
The security officers in the video are also unmasked and do not follow social
distancing guidelines.
The stated goal of the new security force "is to create a consistent look for
the security team and consistent approach to customer service and security
across all of our
stores," according to
the news release. Previously, Hy-Vee has used third-party security contractors
or off-duty law enforcement in its stores.

Reaction to Florida AG's ORC
Push
Florida AG wants tougher sentences for retail thefts. Critics say it barely
exists
 Florida
Attorney General Ashley Moody stood outside of Hialeah City Hall on Tuesday,
calling for beefed-up retail theft sentencing guidelines to deter a crime
she acknowledged hadn't really taken hold in Florida. At least not yet.
Surrounded by state and federal lawmakers, the attorney general referenced
widely viewed videos of gangs rampaging through retail outlets - the vast
majority of them outside of Florida - and called it an "endless cycle of
smash-and-grabs."
And though she said
most "organized theft rings" were doing their dirty work in other states,
Moody warned that Hialeah and the state of Florida are not immune to "massive,
large theft rings" making their way down the state's east coast.
"Florida
will never become California,"
she said. The governor there has already announced he would add state troopers
to fight a retail theft wave that's playing out in San Francisco.
A draft copy of Moody's bill, provided to the Miami Herald, shows
charges stemming from organized retail theft could be enhanced if prosecutors
could prove five thefts were committed within a 30-day period
with a total of 10 items taken in a minimum of two locations. Moody said the
sentencing guidelines would be left to legislators.
The attorney general didn't provide numbers showing that retail theft had become
a major problem in Hialeah or throughout Florida and she took very few questions
before being ushered away. Critics and political foes of Gov. Ron DeSantis
called the press conference a grandstanding scare tactic and
demanded data to support the need for any new law or task force.
"Is this retail crime the most serious problem we have in Florida right now?"
asked Florida Democratic Party Chairman Manny Diaz. "It
doesn't even exist. It's smoke and mirrors."
Diaz equated it to DeSantis' anti-riot law, which was temporarily blocked by a
federal judge in September, and to the governor's mention of creating a civilian
military force.

Another California Theft Bill
Assembly Rep. Leader Waldron Introduces Bill to Crack Down on Serial Shoplifters
AB 1597 will increase sentences after fourth
shoplifting conviction
As the Globe reported Tuesday,
Assembly Bill 1599,
authored by Assemblymen Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin), James Gallagher (R-Yuba City),
and Jim Patterson (R-Fresno),
would repeal Prop 47,
and all changes and additions made by Proposition 47,
except those related to reducing the penalty for possession of concentrated
cannabis.
Assembly Bill 1603, authored by Assemblyman Rudy Salas (D-Bakersfield), would
reduce the threshold
amount for petty theft and shoplifting back down to $400
and would re-allow shoplifting to be tried as a felony again but only if the
person who did it had prior convictions.
Wednesday, Assembly Republican Leader Marie Waldron (R-Valley Center) announced
legislation to impose stricter sentences on repeat or serial shoplifters caught
stealing from California businesses.
"AB 1597
will give prosecutors
the discretion to charge thieves with three or more prior convictions for theft
or receiving stolen property with either misdemeanors or felonies,
restoring penalties to pre-Prop. 47 levels for repeat offenders," Waldron said.
AB 1597 is a more tailored bill,
focused on repeat
offenders, rather than the first-time shoplifter.
There is a significant difference between retail theft used for "resale" such as
Louis Vuitton handbags, expensive watches, jewelry, clothing from Burberry, or
even a giant shopping bag full of baby formula, and someone stealing food to
eat.

Omicron Silver Lining
COVID-19 hospitalization rate down 50% compared to 2021 peak, data shows
 The
rate of
Americans with COVID-19 who are ending
up in the hospital has dropped 50 percent compared to the record highs seen
a year ago, data shows.
While new coronavirus cases have more than tripled in the past few weeks and are
currently averaging a staggering 490,000 per day, hospitalizations are not
climbing as fast.
Three percent of those cases are being admitted in hospitals,
data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows.
That rate is down from the 6.5 percent of cases hospitalized at the beginning of
2021 when the average daily case count was roughly 250,000, according to CDC
data.
New hospital admissions across the US averaged 14,700 per day last week.
Even though new hospitalizations spiked 60 percent compared to the week prior -
they are still down from the peak of 16,500 per day this time last year when the
vast majority of Americans were unvaccinated.
While new cases may be exploding as the Omicron variant rages, deaths are stable
and are about a third of what was recorded in January last year.

Macy's Vaccine Mandate Coming?
Macy's requests vaccination status of all U.S. employees
Macy's began requesting the vaccination statuses of employees on Tuesday,
a sign it was preparing
for a potential mandate of vaccinations or weekly testing
ahead of a special
Supreme Court hearing about such rules on Friday.
In a memo sent to
employees that was obtained by The New York Times, the retailer - which also
owns Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury - told workers in the United States to
upload their vaccination statuses to a third-party platform by Jan. 16
"regardless of whether you work in a store, a supply chain facility, an office,
or are remote/hybrid." For employees who say they are unvaccinated,
Macy's said it would
"review your submission and you may be contacted by someone from the Colleague
Advisory team to discuss next steps."
The company also said it might require proof of negative tests to be uploaded to
the same system starting on Feb. 16.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hold the hearing this week to assess the
legality of two measures from the Biden administration: a vaccine-or-testing
mandate aimed at large employers and a vaccination requirement for certain
health care workers.
The
retail industry had pushed back on a new rule issued in November by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
requiring companies with 100 or more workers to mandate vaccines or weekly
tests, saying it could intensify a labor shortage that many retailers were
dealing with during the busy holiday season.
Since then, the Omicron variant has sent global coronavirus cases to record
levels, though recent data shows that people infected with it are far less
likely to be hospitalized than those infected with the Delta variant, especially
if they are vaccinated.

Walmart Temporary Closures for Cleaning Due to COVID
Walmart is taking a more geographically specific approach, temporarily closing
Walmart and Sam's Club
stores for cleaning, as
it has "since shortly after the pandemic's beginning in 2020," according to a
company spokesperson.
"This is a
proactive measure,
based on market-specific data, and is intended to
present a safe in-store environment
for our associates and customers," the spokesperson said.
The
temporary closures typically last a day and a half
and the program will remain in place for as long as it's needed, the
spokesperson said. "As for any outbreaks, our facilities tend to reflect the
communities we serve. Therefore, a rise in positive cases among associates would
likely be consistent with any rise in case counts within the surrounding
communities."

White House-Retail COVID Testing Agreement
Walmart, Kroger raise at-home Covid test prices after White House agreement
expires
Walmart
and Kroger raised the price of Abbott's at-home Covid-19 test kit after
an agreement with the White House to sell the tests at a reduced price expired,
the companies said Tuesday.
The BinaxNOW kit, one of the first at-home tests to be authorized by the federal
government, was listed on Walmart's website Tuesday for
$19.88, up from $14 last month.
Kroger listed the tests for $23.99.
President Joe Biden announced the
agreement with Walmart, Amazon and Kroger
in September, saying it was part of his administration's plan to ramp up testing
and "better detect and control" the coronavirus variant that then posed the
greatest danger - delta.
The three-month agreement to sell the tests "at cost" expired last month, just
as the new omicron variant began advancing quickly across the U.S. A spokeswoman
said in an email Tuesday that unlike other retailers,
Walmart continued selling the product for $14 through the holidays.

Starbucks Employees Walk Out Over COVID
Buffalo workers at only unionized U.S. Starbucks walk out over Covid, staffing
concerns
Workers at a Starbucks store in Buffalo that last month became the chain's only
company-operated U.S. store to be organized
walked out Wednesday to protest what they viewed as unsafe Covid-19 levels
that have left the location short-staffed.
About
one-third of the location's workers are in self-isolation
because they tested positive for Covid-19 or were exposed to the virus.
Borges said Starbucks has rolled out additional steps to keep employees safe and
comply with the latest federal guidelines. That includes
allowing stores to adjust service options based on case counts and the virus'
effect in the market.
Retail leaders, he said, are allowed to modify operations locally - including
temporarily closing a store, changing a store's hours or adjusting to grab and
go - based on data they have access to on community spread, partner exposures,
mandates and health guidance.

Workplace Vaccine Mandate Faces Uphill Battle In
Supreme Court
Pandemic-wary U.S. Supreme Court to weigh Biden vaccine mandates
 The
U.S. Supreme Court, which has restricted its own operations during the COVID-19
pandemic, is preparing to decide
whether to block President Joe Biden's vaccine mandates for large businesses and
healthcare workers
in a test of presidential powers to address an unyielding public health crisis.
The court will hear in-person arguments on Friday on emergency requests in two
separate cases by
challengers including business groups, religious entities and various
Republican-led U.S. states
for orders blocking the vaccine requirements, with rulings expected in short
order. The challengers maintain that Biden and his administration have
overstepped their authority.
The
court's 6-3 conservative majority
in the past has shown skepticism toward sweeping actions by federal agencies.
Decisions against Biden
could hamstring his ability to take broad action to tackle a pandemic
that already has claimed the lives of roughly 830,000 Americans, with COVID-19
cases driven by the coronavirus Omicron variant soaring nationally.

Retail Trends in the New Year
10 retail trends to watch in 2022
Last year upended some trends and accelerated others. What will 2022 bring for
retailers?
As we look to the year ahead, we'll be keeping our eyes on how the pandemic
continues to impact retailers, along with these 10 trends.
Retailers (if they're smart) invest heavily in their supply chains
The world's supply chain underwent massive stress in 2021, unlike anything in
modern commerce in its breadth, depth and pervasiveness. COVID-19 outbreaks,
demand surges, capacity shortfalls, labor shortages and other confounding
factors scrambled the ability of many to fully stock their shelves. Freight
congestion could ease in 2022, but various pressures and high costs could
persist beyond the year.
Retailers must rethink their relationship with workers
Rare was the retail earnings call that didn't mention labor in 2021. Retailers
struggled not only to staff their stores but also their warehouses and logistics
functions, adding to the industry's supply chain woes for the year. If labor
remains tight in the U.S. in 2022, retailers may need more than creative perks
to win recruits. The industry's long-standing relationship with those that staff
its stores and distribution centers may be up for renegotiation.

Put the focus on business continuity planning
The COVID-19 pandemic has provided an opportunity for fine-tuning operational
and response procedures when it comes to business continuity and crisis
response, and many companies are all the better for it.
Experts are discovering in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic that former
or existing strategies for handling disasters, whether natural or human-caused,
are insufficient going forward. While this pandemic has caused serious
disruption globally, it has also provided a tremendous opportunity for
fine-tuning operational and response procedures, thus strengthening rather than
weakening the present structures. In many cases, forced changes have turned out
to be better business models.
Lessons Learned from COVID-19 - Continuity Best Practices - The Future of
Business Continuity
"Business continuity itself is such an important topic regardless of the size of
the business," Collison says.
It is also clear that constant reviewing and adjusting are essential. "We used
to update every two or three years," Clay says, "but
now we know this must be done every six months, with virtual updates being done
continuously."
Updating includes weeding out what is not essential/critical and constantly
reevaluating that, according to Kelly.
The massive array of tools now available to businesses has made continuity
planning a lot easier. "Technology
has been a game changer in this space
in that it supports collaboration, updating and testing better than it ever
has," Collison says.
These security leaders agree that the most important thing learned is the
necessity of reviewing their BCP often and on a regular basis, not just every
few years. It's also essential to test the organization's BCP by conducting
annual exercises to reveal gaps or issues. This should include regular virtual
testing as well.

Nike-Lululemon Lawsuit
Nike Sues Lululemon for Patent Infringement Over Mirror Fitness Technology
Sneaker giant says apparel maker's fitness
device and apps use technology invented and patented by Nike
 Nike
Inc. filed a lawsuit alleging Lululemon Athletica Inc.'s Mirror home-fitness
device and applications infringe on the sneaker company's portfolio of
patents.
Nike says the Mirror Home Gym and apps use technology that the sneaker giant
invented and patented, including a device that prompts users to exercise,
monitors their heart rate and collects data on their activity, among other
functions, according to the lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York.
Nike said it sent a notice to the yoga pants maker on Nov. 3, citing a list
of patents it owned that were allegedly being used by the Mirror device and its
apps. A response from Lululemon's lawyer, filed as an exhibit by Nike, said
that after reviewing Nike's letter the company didn't believe that the Mirror or
its apps were infringing on the patents.
"The patents in question are overly broad and invalid. We are confident in our
position and look forward to defending it in court," said a spokeswoman for
Lululemon in a statement.
Lululemon is also
involved in a legal battle with Peloton Interactive Inc., in which the
apparel maker accuses Peloton of copying the designs of its workout leggings and
bras.

Target Bests Walmart, Best Buy in Holiday Foot
Traffic
Target Holiday Shopper Traffic Growth Topped Walmart, Best Buy -Data
Shopper foot traffic grew at Target during the recent holiday season
compared with two years earlier, while visits to both Walmart and Best Buy
stores fell overall, according to data provided exclusively to Reuters
measuring shopper visits from Nov. 1 to Dec. 25.
The store data could provide early clues to help investors separate winners from
losers after a holiday season marked by the coronavirus pandemic and inventory
shortages arising from a supply chain logjam.
Shopper traffic at Target stores rose 6.2% through the holiday period
compared with two years ago, pre-pandemic, according to Placer.ai, a research
firm that collects anonymized location data from 30 million mobile devices
across the country. At rivals Walmart Inc and Best Buy Co Inc, traffic
declined by 0.1% and 11.5%, respectively, the data shows.

Reducing Third-Party Risk with Continuous Monitoring
Learn how to reduce third party risk by
developing a comprehensive audit system, continuously monitoring, and assigning
ownership within your internal staff.
According to a
recent study by SecureLink and Ponemon Institute, 51% of organizations have
experienced a data breach caused by a third-party. Despite the growing risk
third parties pose however, many companies are still not making securing these
relationships a priority. The key to effectively mitigating your third-party
risk is making it a continuous process, with key controls and clear ownership
for third-party relationships within your organization.
Conduct an Initial Audit of the Third Party
 Yes,
you should ensure during the contract signing that security expectations are
set, and penalties are put in place for failure to comply with security
expectations. You want to mitigate your organization's liability in the event a
breach does occur. It is a good idea to investigate the insurance policies of
the vendor as well, but you also need to conduct an overall assessment of the
security practices of the third-party. Conducting a risk assessment using a
questionnaire that utilizes established security standards will help you
understand the level of risk the third-party is bringing to your organization.
In addition to helping to understand the levels of risk, an assessment will help
you understand the vendor's processes in the event of a breach. Who will it be
reported to? Will you be notified? This type of information is critical in
developing your own incident response plan for a breach due to a third-party.
Ongoing Monitoring
Once the contract is signed and the initial assessment is complete, continue to
monitor whether the third-party is complying with any contractual security
obligations and they are meeting regulatory requirements for data protection.
Collaboration
Another limitation putting organizations at risk is simply lacking someone
specified to manage these vendor relationships and network access. Different
stakeholders within your organization may be managing these various
relationships, which can make it difficult to have a comprehensive inventory.
There needs to be collaboration internally to determine who is responsible for
third-party risk management. There also needs to be collaboration between your
team and your counterparts at your third-party vendors, which is easier with a
defined point of contact, particularly for tasks such as the security
assessment, which can often be a bit of a back and forth.

Retailers Impacted in Credential Stuffing
Attacks
Over 1.1M online credentials found in NY AG credential stuffing investigation
A months-long investigation into credential stuffing attacks by the New York
attorney general's office found credentials for more than
1.1 million online accounts at 17 major retailers,
restaurant chains and food delivery services in internet forums, the agency
announced Wednesday.
Each of the unnamed companies was notified and took steps to protect impacted
customers, the AG's office
said in a statement accompanying a
15-page report on the investigation. All of the companies' investigations
into the matter revealed that most of the attacks had not previously been
detected, and each company either implemented or made plans to implement
additional safeguards, the agency said.
None of the affected organizations were named in the report.
"Businesses have the responsibility to take appropriate action to protect their
customers' online accounts," New York Attorney General Letitia James said in the
statement.
Credential stuffing refers to instances when an attacker relies on username
and password combinations stolen from one website to attempt logins to various
other websites.
This kind of targeting leverages the bad habit of using one username and
password combination across multiple sites. Easily accessible software
enables attackers to automate login attempts on a massive scale, so even
relatively rare success rates sometimes translates into thousands of breached
accounts.
If successful, hackers can make fraudulent purchases using stored credit card
information, steal gift cards, target the customers directly in phishing
attacks or sell the customer login and personal data to someone else.
In 2020 there were 193 billion credential stuffing attacks globally,
according to research from Akamai, a major content delivery network. The
attorney general's report
cited data from 2017 putting the annual cost to companies at $6 million in
the form of application downtime, lost customers and increased IT costs.

State-Sponsored and Cyber-Criminal Attackers
Log4j flaw attack levels remain high, Microsoft warns
Organizations might not realize their
environments are already compromised.
Microsoft has warned Windows and Azure customers to remain vigilant after
observing state-sponsored and cyber-criminal attackers probing systems for
the Log4j 'Log4Shell' flaw through December.
&uuid=(email)) Disclosed by the Apache Software Foundation
on December 9, Log4Shell will likely take years to remediate because of how
widely the error-logging software component is used in applications and
services.
Microsoft warns that customers might not be aware of how widespread the Log4j
issue is in their environment.
Over the past month, Microsoft has released numerous updates, including to its
Defender security software, to help customers identify the issue as attackers
stepped up scanning activity.
"Exploitation attempts and testing have remained high during the last weeks of
December. We have observed many existing attackers adding exploits of these
vulnerabilities in their existing malware kits and tactics, from coin miners to
hands-on-keyboard attacks," the Microsoft 365 Defender Threat Intelligence Team
and the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC)
said in a January 3 update.
Microsoft said customers should "assume broad availability of exploit code
and scanning capabilities to be a real and present danger to their environments."
Hence, it's encouraging customers to utilize scripts and scanning tools to
assess their risk and impact.

FTC warns of potential penalties for firms that fail to fix Log4j software flaws
The Federal Trade Commission Tuesday
warned companies that if they fail to take action to remedy a major recent
software vulnerability in open-source software tool Log4j, there could be
legal repercussions.
"When vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited, it risks a loss or breach
of personal information, financial loss, and other irreversible harms," the
agency warned. "It is critical that companies and their vendors relying on Log4j
act now, in order to reduce the likelihood of harm to consumers, and to avoid
FTC legal action."
Log4j is ubiquitous in software used throughout the technology industry, and is
found in products built by companies including Amazon, Google and Microsoft. The
widespread use of such technology has made it difficult to identify potential
victims. At the same time, the popularity has made it an
easy target for a range of cybercriminals to exploit.

Curbing Cannabis ORC
Organized Crime in the Cannabis Industry
 Organized
crime is a global problem and can be problematic for retailers and non-retailers
across multiple industries. In retail, organized crime often occurs through
planned thefts or robberies and can cause businesses to incur substantial losses
and
evidence indicates that retailers may lose an estimated $30 billion each
year. Between 2015 and 2020, rates of organized retail crime increased by 60%
and will likely continue to rise if businesses do not take steps to reduce the
risks.
Preventing Organized Crime in the Cannabis Industry
Preventing organized crime in a cannabis dispensary is a similar process to many
other "high-risk" retailers. Cannabis business owners should strategically
set up their business so that it is easy for employees and video surveillance to
track customers throughout the dispensary, as well as ensuring that no shelving,
displays, or other elements create blind spots. Using an age verification
system that confirms that the customer is of legal age and checks for excessive
purchases, is another way to prevent organized crime from operating out of the
business disguised as customers.
Though there are less risks of organized theft through external theft in a
non-retail cannabis operation, these businesses still face the risks of internal
diversion. To prevent organized employee theft, cannabis business owners
should properly screen and monitor employees. Cannabis business owners
should ensure that a criminal background check is conducted on any prospective
employee and that video surveillance and access control systems monitor and
track their actions and movement through the facility at all times.
Examples of Organized Crime in the Cannabis Industry
Since organized crime can occur in any market, the cannabis industry is not
exempt. In June 2021, 21 individuals were indicted in Colorado in connection
with an "international
black market cannabis and money laundering scheme." The individuals were
caught growing illegal cannabis across Denver and then channeling the profits
back to China via tools, such as Chinese social media apps that have sharable
wallets and QR codes. Ultimately, thousands of cannabis plants, hundreds of
pounds of packaged cannabis, and approximately $1 million were confiscated and
the individuals were charged with racketeering, conspiracy, drug cultivation,
and distribution, as well as money laundering.
Future of Organized Crime in the Cannabis Industry
While organized crime impacts every industry and can be difficult to uncover,
there are still ways for retail and non-retail business owners to mitigate the
risks. To further reduce the risks, cannabis business owners can collaborate
with local law enforcement, other cannabis businesses, and regulatory
authorities to take a stand against organized crime. By ensuring compliance
and making efforts to mitigate the potential for theft and diversion, businesses
across the country can limit the growth of organized crime in the cannabis
industry.

Pot Shops Criticize Police Robbery Response
City Investigating SFPD for Lax Response to Dispensary Robberies, Pot Shop
Owners Unsatisfied
A very curious oddity in the ongoing discourse about
SF smash-and-grab robberies and the "let's
beef up the police force" sentiment is how some cannabis dispensaries
feel that police just don't do jack anyway, at least when it comes to their
storefronts. A late November break-in at the BASA Collective on Grove Street
stood out because
police seemingly just stood and watched the robbery, an incident
detailed pretty starkly on security video. Just a couple weeks later,
the Examiner reported that in the span of two weeks, "seven cannabis
businesses in Bayview [had] been burglarized without a single arrest made."
 You won't be surprised to hear that marijuana dispensary owners feel they are
shut out by police, a singular sector that is given basically zero priority
by law enforcement. But the Chronicle reports that the Department of Police
Accountability is
launching an investigation into the BASA incident. This was disclosed at a
December 28 meeting between police and dispensary owners, where the Chron
reports, "frustrations simmered during a meeting Tuesday among cannabis
merchants, police and representatives of the city's Office of Cannabis."
SFist attempted to dial in to this December 28 meeting. We were denied entry
because, in the words of the SF Office of Cannabis, "we wanted to create an
environment for honest and direct dialog between our permitted vendors and their
local station captains, we limited the meeting to industry members." But the Chron spoke to a few dispensary owners after the meeting, and it is fair to say
they were unsatisfied with the conversation.
"They completely ignored us," Green Cross dispensary owner Kevin Reed
told the Chronicle.
Despite the supposed internal probe, police say the seemingly slow-footed
burglary response was actually done by the book. According to the
neighborhood police station's captain John Burke, the suspects may have been
armed. "And then what started out as a property crime is no longer a property
crime - it's a gun fight," Burke said.
True, we suppose, but police sure seem willing to engage immediately
when it's Louis Vuitton handbags being stolen. There is a sense among
dispensary proprietors that police are simply less likely to enforce the law
around cannabis dispensaries, perhaps because of a lingering hostility toward an
industry they gleefully busted for so many decades, but has managed to become
perfectly legal through hard work and legislation.

Dispensary Shooting
San Leandro, CA: Officer shoots 2 men during marijuana dispensary break-in
Two suspected burglars were shot by a San Leandro police officer Sunday night
during a break-in at a marijuana dispensary, according to the San Leandro
Police Department. The two men were shot in their torsos and taken to a nearby
hospital, said Capt. Ali Kahn, of the San Leandro Police Department. They are
expected to survive.
The shooting happened shortly after 10:40 p.m. when more than 10 people with
masks on tried breaking into the Silverstreak marijuana dispensary, 1915
Fairway Drive, according to police.
An officer who arrived on scene ran after one of the suspected burglars, who
fled to a nearby vehicle. That suspect then opened the front passenger door and
lunged over another man, while trying to grab a gun in the driver's seat, Khan
said.
The officer fired as the suspect "retrieved" the gun inside the car, a police
statement said. The burglary suspect was struck twice, and the person in the
front passenger seat also was shot, Khan said.

Fighting Online Shopping & Banking Fraud
Experts share tips to protect yourself from fraud
 Online
banking and e-commerce are integral to how we live our lives. It's often how
we buy food, gas, clothes, and pay our bills. But the CEO of online banking
platform, One, Brian Hamilton says that convenience comes with a cost.
"Fraudsters are always one and always paying attention," he said.
It's estimated that in 2021 alone, the amount of money people lost in online
banking scams was in the billions. And many times, Hamilton says the scams
are tied to a form of identity fraud where crooks will create real bank accounts
under your name.
"They actually then open up some account that has an ACH or a bank-to-bank
connection and then they use that to connect to your real funds and pull money
out," he said.
So how do you protect yourself and your cash? Well, Hamilton says it all comes
down to things like changing your passwords regularly and using online
tools to verify that it's really you when you log into your account.
"So turning on two-factor authentication, right? So that you would get a
text to your phone if someone tried to access your account," he said.
And he adds that certain online banking groups, like his company, also allow you
to "lock away" portions of your money. So that if scammers do gain
access, they can't steal everything.
"So that would actually forbid anyone from accessing that pocket [of money]
remotely from that account," he said.

Walmart Ramps Up Direct-to-Fridge Option to 30 Million Homes
Walmart Inc. is betting big on its service
to deliver groceries directly into customers' refrigerators.
The retailer's InHome delivery option will become available to 30 million
U.S. households by the end of the year, five times more than the current
level, according to a company statement Wednesday. Walmart, which hasn't
disclosed how many customers use the service, plans to hire more than 3,000
drivers and build out a fleet of electric delivery vans to support the
program.
The expanded availability signals Walmart's confidence that Americans are ready
to accept employees traipsing through their kitchens and garages in exchange for
the convenience of not shopping for and putting away their own groceries.
Walmart is vying with a range of grocery services from rivals such as Aldi
Stores Ltd. and Amazon.com Inc. as millions of Americans turned to online
shopping during the coronavirus pandemic.
Walmart has been
testing the InHome service for more than two years with trials in
Pittsburgh, northwest Arkansas and other locales. This year, it will become
available in cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston and Dallas.
Amazon last year expanded its service delivering groceries
into
garages.

Police say a home was bursting with stolen Amazon packages
 Three
people have been arrested. On Dec. 30, a tipster called local authorities to
report a significant number of items dumped near an intersection in Luther,
Okla., police said. When the Luther Police Department and the Oklahoma County
Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene later that day, officers discovered nearly
600 discarded Amazon packages scattered on the ground and in garbage bags,
authorities said. (Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder, owns The Washington Post.)
Inside one of the garbage bags, investigators found an envelope with a name and
an address that eventually led them to an even larger discovery inside a home in
Luther, Sheriff Tommie Johnson III said during a Wednesday news conference.
There, police found thousands of stolen Amazon packages stored in closets,
attics, a detached garage and an underground storm shelter, Oklahoma County
Sheriff's Office Capt. Robert Tye said during the news conference. Some items
found in the home were still wrapped on pallets, Tye said. "Everywhere we looked
there were packages," Tye said.
On Wednesday, the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office announced it had arrested and
charged three people in connection with the "massive Amazon theft ring" that
left thousands of customers without packages they were supposed to receive by
Christmas. Those charged include Cesar Yasnier Cerqueira Rojas, a third-party
driver for Amazon; 37-year-old Dinneris Matos Delgado, the owner of the truck
allegedly used in the scheme; and 38-year-old Maikel Perez Laurencio, also a
third-party driver. The three face 15 felony counts of possession of stolen
property and embezzlement. Matos was also charged with possession of a
controlled dangerous substance after authorities found meth in her personal
belongings, police said.

Largo, FL: Pokemon Card thief nab at Walmart
On December 29, 2021, Eric Jerome Drake was arrested after stealing merchandise.
While incidents involving theft are not uncommon, this one was particularly
unusual as it involved 68 packs of Pokemon trading cards valued at almost $650.
This odd situation involving these stolen cards happened at a Walmart located in
Florida.According to an affidavit by the Largo Police Department, the
23-year-old Drake had stolen packs of Pokemon cards totaling $354 from store
shelves. After taking the cards,
he brought them into a bathroom inside the building. Drake then proceeded to
unwrap the cards and stuff them into his pockets.
After doing this, he left the store with the stolen items.
However, Drake was seemingly unsatisfied with the number of cards he managed to
steal from Walmart on his first visit. As a result, after
believing that he had managed to get away without being caught, he returned to
Walmart only 5 days later to attempt another theft.
Returning to the Pokemon card section, Drake took another $292 worth of cards
from the shelf and went once again to the bathroom to open the packs.
Unfortunately for the thief, a store employee had noticed the suspicious
activity and notified the police. He was arrested soon after.

Robberies, Incidents & Thefts
Cloverdale, CA: 7-Eleven clerk attacked with knife, kept working
A Cloverdale 7-Eleven employee continued to work after he was injured in a knife
attack that was discovered early Wednesday, police said. An off-duty Cloverdale
police officer discovered the injured clerk about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday at the
store on South Cloverdale Boulevard, Cloverdale Police Chief Jason Ferguson
said. He noticed the clerk had a cut on the top of his right hand and was
applying a bandage when he noticed a bigger cut on the victim's left arm and
that blood was on the counter. The officer called for assistance and
investigators determined the clerk had been attacked by someone wielding a
knife. He was uncooperative and police are trying to review surveillance footage
to determine when the attack occurred, Ferguson said. "We believe this was an
isolated incident and the victim may have very well known the suspect," the
chief said. He added the victim did not go to a hospital and the store remained
open Wednesday. No robbery occurred and the incident is being investigated as an
assault with a deadly weapon.

Redondo Beach, CA: Restaurant manager struck by dine-and-dashers' vehicle
A couple who skipped out on a $90 bill at a mom-and-pop restaurant in Redondo
Beach hit a manager with their car as he tried to block them in the parking lot,
owners of the business said. "They said they would pay if he came around to the
side of the car, but at that point he wasn't sure if he could believe them,"
Lisa Briton Hodges, the co-owner of Ragin Cajun Cafe, said on Wednesday, Jan. 5.
"And then they didn't back up. They didn't try to go around him. They gassed
it." The manager clung to the hood of the older-model Chrysler Monday afternoon
as it sped through the parking lot, as seen in surveillance footage. He was
thrown onto a sidewalk as the car made a sharp right turn and took off, south on
PCH, Redondo Beach police Sgt. Mark Valdivia said. The victim suffered cuts and
bruises but managed to avoid any serious injuries. On Wednesday, investigators
continued searching for clues and seeking witnesses.

Asking for advice is a great thing and we all need it from time to time merely
because as the old adage goes we're too close to the trees to see the forest.
However, the key is who you ask for it and what are their agendas, because we
all have them and even well intentioned advice can be swayed by an individuals
need or desire to accomplish their objectives. Advice is the easiest thing to
give and the hardest thing to practice. But getting a second opinion is always
good. You've just got to realize that we're all just humans and even the best
advice givers and mentors are influenced by their own needs.
Just a Thought,
Gus
