RILA AP Conference Recap
Another Successful RILA AP Conference
Wraps Up in Denver
 By Barbara Jones, CEO & Founder, Freeing
Returns
The
RILA Asset Protection conference finished up yesterday. The morning session
began with Walmart's VP of Asset Protection, Christyn
Keef and Sr. Director of AP, Joshua Ridgeway describing how to create
value for customers while doing asset protection. Author Amanda Ripley spoke on
the science of conflict-- both good and bad. Private investigator Michelle
Stuart's workshop was excellent. She gave new ways to look at bad actors-- not
just with exception-based reporting but also using social media for more data
points.
On the flight back to Atlanta, I reflected on my gratitude for how the
conference went. The Gaylord Rockies hotel was phenomenal. RILA staff did a
great job organizing everything. Bravo to the entire conference team.
My highlight? Meeting all of you! One person in particular who I loved meeting
(again) was Elizabeth Rush, a divisional LP director at
Lowe's. She and I first met at RILA back in 2017 and she'd been
following my company's growth and development since then. Elizabeth has been
cheering us on. Looking forward to seeing you all at the next LP event.
Registration is now open for RILA's 2024 Retail Asset Protection conference,
which will take place April 14-17, 2024 in Dallas, TX.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
San Francisco's Crime 'Doom Loop' is Pushing
Away Retailers
After Nordstrom store closures, what can SF do to stop the retail exodus?
 Nordstrom's
decision to shutter
two San Francisco stores at Fifth and Market streets, including its massive
flagship at the Westfield mall after 35 years, is another gut punch to a
downtown battered by the
exodus of more than two dozen retailers during the pandemic.
The loss of Nordstrom, a neighboring Saks Off 5th store
and other global brands like Uniqlo, Gap and H&M hurts not only the
city's sales tax base and labor force, but also the vitality of critical
downtown streets where tourists flock, helping shape San Francisco's global
reputation.
The city's economic malaise was brought on by remote work and the pandemic,
but some city officials and Nordstrom's landlord also blamed an inadequate
response to crime as a key reason for the spate of closures in the city's chief
shopping district.
Last week, on the same block as Nordstrom's flagship store, an alleged
shoplifter at a Walgreens
was fatally shot by a security guard. And, three blocks west on Market
Street, Whole Foods closed temporarily last month after what shoppers called
rampant theft and drug use, including an
overdose death in a store bathroom last year.
Weeks of grim news have fueled a debate over public safety and how the city
can best promote an economic recovery - or at least stop the bleeding of
losing store after store, which feeds into fears of an
economic "doom loop.”
Amid the turnover, there's hope among city officials that changes to zoning
laws could promote a more diverse array of businesses in the empty retail
floors that Nordstrom and others are leaving behind.
Nordstrom said downtown San Francisco "changed dramatically over the past
several years, impacting customer foot traffic to our stores and our ability
to operate successfully.”
Mall owner Westfield was more blunt, blaming the retailer's closure in part
on "unsafe conditions" and "lack of enforcement against rampant criminal
activity.” sfchronicle.com
RELATED: What's really going on with crime in San
Francisco?
It's Not Just San Francisco: Big City
Retailers Across U.S. Grapple with Crime
Nordstrom Is Closing San Francisco Stores as Cities' Retail Pain Grows
Lower levels of foot traffic, perceptions
about crime cloud picture for merchants in large cities
San Francisco's closures also reflect the challenges that merchants face in
key business districts in large cities across the country, as they deal with
rising operating costs, concerns about crime, and foot traffic remaining well
below prepandemic levels.
The problems in San Francisco and other locales are becoming more acute as
business owners and consumers rethink spending plans amid concerns about an
economic slowdown. Some mayors have pushed businesses to reinstate office
attendance mandates as a way to boost commerce-and potentially tax receipts-in
key areas.
“Downtown America has been particularly hard hit by this combination of
higher interest rates and working from home,” said Torsten Slok, chief economist
at Apollo Global Management in New York.
The loss of Nordstrom adds to the exodus of office and retail tenants out of
San Francisco, following one of the slowest returns to in-person work in the
country. Dozens of stores have shuttered over the
last three years in downtown and adjoining areas, including
H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap and Crate & Barrel
in and near Union Square. Other large retailers such as
Whole Foods Market and Walmart this year have announced
plans to close stores in urban areas.
San Francisco has a lower violent crime rate than many other major cities,
but one of the highest property crime rates.
Robberies, motor vehicle thefts and larceny theft all
increased in 2022 from the year prior, according to police
statistics, while homicides were flat.
Large retailers have been vocal about the problems they face in urban and
other locations regarding an increase in shoplifting and other community
issues. Executives from chains such as Home Depot and Best Buy have said they
were stepping up locking away items on store shelves to prevent theft and
keeping close tabs on high-risk goods.

Drugs & Higher Felony Theft Thresholds Fueling
ORC Surge?
Expert says violent, organized retail crime on the rise across Midstate
Metro Police say they have not seen an increase in organized retail crime, but
an officer we spoke with who works for Krogers across the state says he has seen
an uptick in these types of thefts.
Imagine seeing a group of people running into a store and within 10-15 seconds,
they clean out shelves, and then they're gone, which is what
investigations manager for Kroger's Organized Crime Unit,
Glenn Alred, says happens on a regular basis.
“What is kind of the driving force behind it?” asked FOX 17 News' Kaitlin
Miller. Drugs, a lot of the people who steal are
motivated by drugs or money and it's a very lucrative business,"
replied Alred.
Alred explains his unit goes after the high-end thefts and he says these thieves
go on to sell these products on the black market, which is very lucrative,
or he says they sell the products for drugs.
Alred says a major change with this type of crime recently has been an uptick
in violence.
He says in 2017 Tennessee's law changed making $1,000 worth of stolen goods
and above a felony instead of what it used to be: $500.
“It's really hurt retailers because they were fighting it already at $500 and
now the felony is $1,000, so instead of people going to
jail for stealing $900 they are getting a ticket,” Alred said.
He says there needs to be more laws and more prosecution and adds it also
would be a good idea for retailers to join forces.
He says the more people come together, the more they can generate more ideas
for new laws.

Walmart's Battle Against Self-Checkout Theft
Makes Global Headlines
Walmart issues warning over self-checkout theft as it plans new technology to
crack down
US retail giant Walmart is testing new technology to try and tackle
self-checkout theft and shoplifting from stores. Walmart, along with many
stores is facing an increasing issue with theft and is now testing new
technology in Canada to try and tackle self-checkout theft and shoplifting from
stores.
Walmart's US CEO Doug McMillon previously said there is a growing problem with
stealing in stores and warned that the increase in shoplifting could even lead
to increased prices in stores and closed stores if the problem persists.
Speaking to CNBC in December he said: "Theft is an issue. It's higher than what
it has historically been."
Canadian stores are facing similar issues so the new technology is being
tested there and could then be rolled out. The company said it has been
working on internal processes and in collaboration with the Retail Council of
Canada (RCC) to fight the stealing issue.
Walmart President and CEO in Canada, Gonzalo Gebara, told CTV News: "We have
been working on internal processes. We have been working on investing in
technology."
He continued: "We have been very well connected with the RCC and
collaborating with everyone so that we can make our stores the safest place for
our customers to shop and for our associates to work."
There has been discussion around self-checkouts, with some people warning
they are part of the problem - but the company has insisted it has no plans
to cut back on self-checkouts in response to rising thefts.

Shoplifters Emboldened By New York Lawmakers
Refusing to Fix Bail Reform
Opinion: Albany did absolutely NOTHING to undo bail reform damage and make New
Yorkers safer
 To
listen to our politicians you'd think everything in New York City was
hunky-dory. "We're safer than Chicago, Philadelphia and Baltimore,” they
say. New York has been safer than those cities for decades.
Crime here declined even as crime rose in those cities -
until the 2019 bail reform.
The mayor touts the city's 125 murders so far this year, an 8% decline,
as "progress.” If you were honest about crime, you'd compare city crime now with
crime in 2019, before these criminal-justice "reforms" took effect. Then you'd
see the havoc these laws have created.
Murders are up a staggering 44% from the same period in
2019. Index crimes (murder, rape, robbery, burglary, felony
assault and auto theft) are UP 47% from 2019. Reported petit larcenies
are UP 36%, but you have to wonder why anybody even bothers reporting petit
larcenies these days.
In response to these sobering numbers, the only "substantive" change
legislators made in the law was to change the requirement that the judge set
the "least restrictive conditions that will reasonably assure the defendant's
return to court" to a requirement that the judge's conditions of release
must "reasonably assure the defendant's return to court.”
This change, by itself, will mean little because a judge still cannot
consider whether the defendant poses a danger to the public or is at a high risk
of reoffending. A judge still cannot, except in very
limited circumstances, set bail on defendants charged with "nonviolent felonies"
or misdemeanors.
Car thieves, drug dealers, shoplifters, commercial
burglars, pickpockets, phone thieves and catalytic-converter thieves,
for example, CANNOT have bail set no matter how many prior convictions
they have, unless they have another open case.
Thus a defendant arrested for shoplifting who has dozens of prior convictions
could literally tell the judge to hurry up with the arraignment because he has
to get to Macy's to steal a suit for his future court appearances, and the judge
could not set bail on him.

America Seeing 'Remarkable' Surge in Mass
Killings
Frequent shootings put US mass killings on record pace
97 people have been killed in the 19 mass
killings in 2023
This year, the United States continues to experience a high frequency of mass
killings. The recent incident in which four individuals were fatally shot
inside an RV in California marks the 19th mass killing of the year.
Violent incidents have erupted across the United States, and have been motivated
by a variety of factors. These include murder-suicides and domestic violence,
gang reprisals, school shootings, and workplace grievances leading to acts
of vengeance.
Mass killings are happening with staggering frequency this year: an average
of nearly one a week, according to an analysis of The AP/USA Today data.
The 2023 numbers stand out even more when they are compared with the tally for
full-year totals since data was collected. The U.S. recorded 30 or fewer mass
killings in more than half of the years in the database, so to be at 19 a third
of the way through is remarkable.

Another Progressive DA Facing Backlash
Innocent LA father killed after DA Gascon gives violent career criminal multiple
diversions
A violent career criminal who was on the streets and not in jail because she
was assigned mental health treatment instead of prison time is accused of
killing an innocent Los Angeles father.
Jade Simone Brookfield, 23, was arrested in April and charged with murder after
she allegedly fatally stabbed 40-year-old Dennis Banner during an argument in a
street. Law enforcement sources tell Fox News that Brookfield had a lengthy
criminal history for alleged assault, assault with a deadly weapon and multiple
violent felonies with knives, but she had inexplicably avoided
incarceration and was repeatedly given mental health diversions.
It took a family losing their father for Brookfield's diversion to be
terminated, and only now is the suspect finally being held in custody. This
heartbreaking case is a prime example of the disaster that can happen when
California's loose mental health diversion laws combine with progressive L.A.
District Attorney George Gascon's soft-on-crime approach to seek diversion
whenever possible.

Facial Recognition's Continued Retail
Expansion
5 Ways Facial Recognition Is Making Waves Across Industries
Facial recognition technology offers
security and convenience in manufacturing, retail and hospitality.
The growth of artificial intelligence innovations this year is a clear indicator
of the power of well-developed AI and its ability to reinvent how work is
carried out across sectors.
 Market
analyses now predict the facial recognition space in
particular, to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.13 percent
from 2023 to 2030. That's almost three times the growth expected of
the fingerprint market over the same period.
Facial Recognition in Retail
As brick and mortar retailers have grappled with booming e-commerce competition,
many are turning to Vision AI to create more personalized in-store
experiences that mimic the conveniences we enjoy with online shopping.
Vision AI is a type of computer vision that stops short of recognition. Instead
of matching faces to a database, it gathers demographic data on who is entering
a store at what times. With this information in hand, store managers are
fine-tuning shopping experiences, from adjusting advertised discounts to the
time of day to the music playing in the background as customers shop.
Banking leaders like JPMorgan are also pioneering a facial recognition-based
future of payments, which makes store checkout a possibility without your wallet
or even your phone. In a pilot program beginning in May, the bank will test
face and palm biometrics payments across selected retail stores, and at the
Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami.

Clothing Companies Targeted Over Forced Labor
Concerns
House China committee targets top clothing brands in forced labor inquiry
Reps. Mike Gallagher and Raja Krishnamoorthi,
leaders of the House CCP Committee, sent letters to leaders at Nike, Shein, Temu
and Adidas about possible trade law violations.
 A
House committee examining the U.S. government's economic relationship with China
is asking some of the world's largest clothing companies for information
about the use of forced labor during production - a potential violation of
U.S. trade law.
Lawmakers asked retailers Temu, Shein, Nike and Adidas North America
about the use of materials and labor sourced from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous
region of China, according to letters sent to company leaders on Tuesday. Such
practices would constitute violations of the 2021
Uyghur
Forced Labor Prevention Act, according to the lawmakers.
Congress passed the UFLPA with bipartisan support after the State Department
determined China is "committing genocide against Uyghurs and other minority
groups in Xinjiang.”
The letters were sent to Rupert Campbell, president of Adidas North America;
Qin Sun, president of Temu; Chris Xu, CEO of Shein and John
Donahoe, president and CEO of Nike, Inc. They were signed by Reps. Mike
Gallagher, R-Wisc., chair of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist
Party, and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill.
“Using forced labor has been illegal for almost a hundred years-but despite
knowing that their industries are implicated, too many companies look the
other way hoping they don't get caught, rather than cleaning up their supply
chains. This is unacceptable,” Gallagher in a statement. "American
businesses and companies selling in the American market have a moral and legal
obligation to ensure they are not implicating themselves, their customers, or
their shareholders in slave labor.”

Retailers across the country are
facing significant increases in retail theft and organized retail
crime (ORC) that require immediate action from loss prevention
executives.
The industry is struggling under the weight of labor shortages,
supply chain disruptions, and higher cost of goods. These economic
headwinds have been aggravated by the significant losses incurred by
ORC.
In addition to the growing financial costs of these retail thefts,
retailers and communities across the country are victimized by these
hidden costs.

Businesses Confront ChatGPT Leaks
Microsoft could offer private ChatGPT to businesses for "10 times" the normal
cost
Product would keep sensitive information
from being used to train AI models.
 Microsoft
is planning to offer a privacy-focused version of the ChatGPT chatbot to
banks, health care providers, and other large organizations concerned about data
leaks and regulatory compliance, according to
a report from The Information.
The product, which could be announced "later this quarter," would run ChatGPT on
dedicated servers, separate from the ones used by other companies or other
individual users using the versions of ChatGPT that Microsoft is baking into
Edge, Windows, and its other products. This would keep sensitive data from
being used to train ChatGPT's language model and could also prevent inadvertent
data leaks-imagine a chatbot that revealed information about one company's
product road map to another company just because both companies used ChatGPT.
The catch is that these isolated versions of ChatGPT could cost a lot more to
run and use. The report says that the private instances "could cost as
much as 10 times what customers currently pay to use the regular version of
ChatGPT."
OpenAI is supposedly
planning a similar product "in the coming months," a subscription where
input fed to ChatGPT by a business's employees and customers won't be used to
train its language models by default. The major difference is that
Microsoft's version will use the company's Azure platform as its backend rather
than competing platforms like Amazon Web Services.
Bloomberg
reports that Samsung has already forbidden its employees to use chatbots
like ChatGPT or Google's Bard on their work devices after an employee entered
"internal source code" into ChatGPT in April. Private ChatGPT instances
could allow these employees to take advantage of what ChatGPT and other
generative AI products do well without leaking internal information to other
companies or the public. Companies like Verizon, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup,
and Goldman Sachs have
taken similar steps.

Using ChatGPT to Spread Malware
When it comes to online scams, 'ChatGPT is the new crypto’
Researchers at Meta have seen a rise in
ChatGPT-themed attacks, the company said in an overview of cybersecurity issues
on its platforms.
&uuid=(email)) Digital
fraudsters are as enamored with ChatGPT as everyone else on the internet and
have taken advantage its allure to spread a new strain of malware across
Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp in recent months.
Since March, Meta has blocked more than 1,000 unique ChatGPT-themed web
addresses designed to deliver malicious software to users' devices, the
company
revealed Wednesday in a report on security issues across the company three
major platforms.
“As an industry we've seen this across other topics that are popular in their
time, such as crypto scams fueled by the immense interest in digital currency,”
Guy Rosen, Meta's chief information security officer, told reporters ahead of
the report's release. "So from a bad actor's perspective, ChatGPT is the new
crypto.”
Indeed, hackers are using the skyrocketing interest in artificial intelligence
chatbots such as ChatGPT to convince people to click on phishing emails, to
register malicious domains that contain ChatGPT information and develop bogus
apps that resemble the generative AI software. At Meta, the company's
security team has observed around 10 malware families using ChatGPT and other
generative AI-related themes to lure victims into installing malware on their
systems, Meta researchers Duc H. Nguyen and Ryan Victory said in a
blog posted to the company's site.
The malware used in these cases are part of attackers' efforts to take
control of business account pages and accounts in order to run unauthorized ads,
the company said, which can then lead to further malicious activity. Along with
identifying a new strain of malware dubbed "NodeStealer,” the company also said
it is launching a support tool that guides users through a step-by-step process
to identify and remove malware.

Online Data Being Used as Evidence By
Prosecutors
Pandemic Zoom, Teams Surge Offers Evidence Trove to Prosecutors
The proliferation of videoconferencing apps like Zoom and Teams has companies
unwittingly preserving mountains of evidence for Justice Department
investigators that neither side is equipped to process.
Defense lawyers are increasingly warning businesses
against recording virtual meetings, or to destroy them if they do.
For some, that advice is arriving too late. Federal prosecutors and other
litigating opponents have begun targeting video communications from unsuspecting
employers. That's when the reality kicks in that they've been enjoying the
practical benefits of remote office technology without considering the
litigation risks of holding recordings.
Antitrust enforcers, for instance, are seeking meetings recorded on Zoom,
a service of Zoom Video Communications Inc., and other platforms from
businesses, which have retained Cleary to review and in some cases produce
the data, Mahoney said.
“It's creating a really big problem at the collection and processing and
review and production phases because there aren't tons of great solutions for
this data yet,” he said.
More than three years after workplace meetings moved online essentially
overnight due to pandemic lockdowns, companies are slowly reckoning with the
volumes of recorded meetings in their possession.
Whether from active lawsuits, government probes, or internal investigations,
the soaring costs of hiring attorneys and other vendors to scour massive
files on Zoom and Microsoft Corp.'s Teams-frequently manually-are gradually
becoming apparent.
Businesses are subject to legal hold mandates on employee communications when
they face lawsuits or government investigations. At that point they can get
sanctioned for evidence destruction.

Criminal Networks Taken Off Social Media
Platforms
Meta Expunges Multiple APT, Cybercrime Groups From Facebook, Instagram
The company has removed three APTs and six
potentially criminal networks from its platforms who leveraged elaborate
campaigns of fake personas and profiles to lure and compromise users.
 Facebook
parent Meta said it thwarted the activity of three advanced persistent threat
groups (APTs) in South Asia engaged in cyber espionage as well as six
adversarial groups from various global regions engaged in what it deems
"inauthentic behavior" on Facebook and other social networks.
The company's takedown of these and other activities on its platforms is
indicative of a sea of consistent and globally dispersed exploitative
behavior from threat actors to leverage various online platforms to create
elaborate social-engineering campaigns to lure and exploit Internet users,
the company said.
In most of the cases, threat actors are using Facebook and other social
networking and media platforms -including Twitter, Telegram, YouTube, Medium,
TikTok, and Blogspot - to create various fake online accounts and personas,
according to Meta. The attackers used fake identities, including job recruiters,
journalists, or even military personnel, to earn credibility with users and
legitimate entities so they could engage in malicious threat activity, the
company said.
In its
Quarterly Adversarial Threat Report released today, Meta detailed these
incidents as well as actions it's now taking to minimize security threats that
leverage its platforms.
The report draws from Meta's security monitoring of the use of its platforms, as
well as monitoring of the Internet overall in order to flag malicious
activity, which is increasingly becoming more dispersed across various
platforms and geographies and thus harder to track, Nathaniel Gleicher, head of
security policy at Meta, told journalists in a briefing on the report May 2.

In Case You Missed It
Securing Cannabis: A Conversation with Sapphire
Risk CEO Tony Gallo
For about as long as there has been a legal
industry, Sapphire Risk has been helping cannabis companies manage their
security needs.
 Founded
in 2012 by Tony Gallo, a 30-year veteran of the
security business, Dallas, Texas-based
Sapphire Risk
originally provided consultation services to pawn shops, gun shops, jewelry
shops, and similar businesses. In time, as Gallo explained during a recent
call with Cannabis Business Executive, cannabis not only joined the list
of industries served by Sapphire Risk; it became the main focus of the
company, which to date has worked with more than 800 cannabis business
owners in 35 states and Canada.
According to Gallo, the security industry overall has three main components
to it. "There's the industry that is called security,
which is more of a physical position; you would consider a guard a security
person, somebody that physically protects the assets of the company. Then there
is loss prevention, which is someone who
identifies a problem that's occurring, and puts things in place to prevent those
losses from occurring again. If you had a location that had an armed robbery,
you would put things in place to prevent future armed robberies from occurring.
And then there's the position that I call asset
protection, and that position identifies a potential problem before
it even happens. You didn't wait for the robbery, or you didn't wait for the
employee theft, or you didn't wait for the emergency procedures. You perceive
that these things could occur, and then you put those procedures in place."
The Elements of Security
As Gallo explained, the basic elements of security have not changed even if the
tools have. "The core of any program in retail security - which is what cannabis
is, and everything I've done - is identifying where your losses are, and the
majority of losses in any retail business is internal employee-based," he
said. "Whether it's employee theft, or employees damaging product, or hurting
the margin in some way, it always revolves around the employee. I would say
about 80 percent of all the losses in the cannabis
industry are due to employee involvement in some way, compared to
most retailers, where somewhere between 60 and 80 percent of all their losses
are internal.
Sapphire Risk's menu of services includes consulting, application writing
services, security floor plan design, secure facility build-outs, SOPs, and risk
assessment. In addition to retail, Sapphire also provides security for
cultivation sites of all sizes.
But Gallo also stressed that a lot of people have misconceptions about the
security risks associated with cannabis. "We do around 100 city council meetings
every year, give or take," he said. "I did 50 in New Jersey alone last year, and
a lot of people are under a misconception that crime goes up [around
dispensaries]. Believe it or not, crime actually goes
down when you have a dispensary in that neighborhood simply because of the
amount of security that's required.
Security Boon
Even as the overall industry struggles to find its footing, security remains
an essential component of running a cannabis business, and with new states
coming online or expanding their programs, Sapphire has plenty of business,
especially when states schedule application deadlines for the same day.
"When we do our applications - and we do floor plan design, so we take your
floor plan and add the security on: the video, the alarm, the access control
- we have 35 people, which includes contractors and a design team, and you can
only turn so many screws. So, when you get hit with a double state application
process, we can only take on some of the people."

Protecting Cannabis Stores & Facilities Amid
Growing Threats
Security threats at a Cannabis Dispensary - What to Watch For
 Security
is of the utmost importance in the cannabis industry. The industry is highly
regulated and the
sale of cannabis products is strictly controlled, so dispensaries must take
specific measures to protect
their products and customers.
Unfortunately we tend to focus on what is in front of us and do not consider all
of the potential threats.
The ultimate security goal for a cannabis operation is to prevent and/or
reduce loss, which results in
protecting profits.
“Creating a comprehensive security plan is essential to
dispensaries for several reasons.” Says Ben
Merritt, Owner and Co-Founder of Growth Security Solutions (GSS) a Northeast
based Cannabis security consulting company, "Preventing and reducing loss,
protecting profits, and ensuring compliance with regulations are extremely
important areas for a cannabis owner to pay attention to.
It's also important to understand that threats can come from a variety of areas,
such as robbery, burglary, employee or insider theft,
cyber-attacks, vandalism, and data breaches. For our design and
technical team, when developing security procedures and physical security
build-outs, it is critical to consider not just what is possible, but also what
is probable. This involves creating a secure physical and digital environment,
establishing appropriate purchasing and shipping procedures, auditing inventory,
and training staff on security procedures.”
There are many boiler plate solutions to building a cannabis security program,
but boiler plate solutions are not what you need. Every situation is
different, and operational plans (including security) really need to be specific
to the organization.
The first step in mitigating security threats at a cannabis dispensary is to
create a secure physical environment. Install an alarm system and motion
sensors, keep all doors and windows locked, and use cameras to monitor the
premises. Make sure employees know the security procedures and do regular
checks to ensure everything is in order. Additionally, all employees should
be required to wear visible
identification at all times, and customers should be asked to present
valid identification before entering the dispensary.
The second step is to create a secure digital environment. The third step
is to create cash handling policies, procedures and training. Cash
handling training is essential for the cannabis industry due to its unique
regulatory and financial environment. The fourth step is to establish secure
purchasing and shipping procedures.

Shutting Down 'Thousands' of Illegal Pot Shops
in NY
N.Y. expanding its crackdown on illegal pot shops after inability under existing
laws
Office of Cannabis Management sent 250
cease-and-desist letters to unlicensed sellers
&uuid=(email)) State
lawmakers are set to expand the government's ability to shut down an
estimated thousands of illegal pot shops in New York.
The move by the state's Democratic supermajorities comes after the state's
Office of Cannabis Management was able to use its limited authority to
enforce regulation violations involving at least 250 shops, according to
data provided to the Times Union.
Lawmakers on Monday were poised to adopt the measure in their annual spending
plan, a budget document that often includes the state's most controversial
policies. The spending plan also includes an additional $16 million to
bolster existing funding for enforcement efforts.
The new rules are expected to increase fines but also give the Office of
Cannabis Management and Department of Taxation and Finance the ability to
"inspect and shut down unlicensed adult-use cannabis stores,” according to a
draft copy of the final budget language. It gives them the ability to conduct
searches, as long as it's not a private residence, and to seek court actions for
temporary restraining orders or mandated closures.
An illegal pot shop, under the new rules, could also be subject to tax fraud.
It also would allow a landlord to evict a tenant if their sole businesses is
an illegal pot shop.
The particulars of how to police the illicit but very public business has
left lawmakers and Gov. Kathy Hochul at odds in the final days of protracted
budget negotiations.

Cracking Down on Chinese E-Commerce Giant
Shein
Lawmakers urge SEC to crack down on Chinese retail giant Shein over alleged
forced labor
A bipartisan group of lawmakers urged the
SEC to crack down on Chinese e-commerce giant Shein ahead of its possible U.S.
IPO.
 Bipartisan
lawmakers are urging the nation's top markets regulator to require Chinese
fast-fashion giant Shein to disclose potential forced labor practices ahead
of the company's possible initial public offering in the United States.
The fast-fashion company has come under fire for accusations of mistreatment
of Uyghurs, a
marginalized group in China, and for allegedly falsifying reports of forced
or underpaid labor of its supplier factories, some of which are allegedly
located in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. Shein said it has no
suppliers in the region.
The alleged practices violate the 2021
Uyghur
Forced Labor Prevention Act, Reps. Jennifer Wexton, D-Va., and John Rose, R-Tenn.,
wrote in a letter Monday to Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman
Gary Gensler.
“As a global company, Shein takes visibility across our entire supply chain
seriously. We are committed to respecting human rights and adhering to local
laws and regulations in each market we operate in,” a Shein spokesperson told
CNBC. "Our suppliers must adhere to a strict code of conduct that is aligned to
the International Labour Organization's core conventions. We have zero
tolerance for forced labor.”
An SEC spokesperson told CNBC that Gensler will respond to members of Congress
directly.
The representatives are leading a bipartisan group, including 22 other
lawmakers, in demanding the SEC require that Shein independently verify that it
does not use forced labor before being allowed to issue securities in the
U.S. The
$64 billion company is preparing for a potential IPO later this year.

Wallace, GA: Georgia man facing charges in Wallace Walmart standoff
 A
Georgia man is facing multiple charges after a four-hour standoff at an Eastern
Carolina Walmart. Wallace Police Chief James Crayton said they got a call
shortly after 2:00 a.m. about an armed robber near the loading dock of the
Walmart on Highway 41. Police said the ordeal actually began Tuesday when Jerry
Flakes, Jr. stole a vehicle in Georgia. Video surveillance showed the man
walking to the loading dock of the store from nearby woods, police said. Police
said the man tried to get into a truck backed up to the loading dock and as the
driver came outside to leave he encountered Flakes. Officers said the Georgia
man pointed a rifle at the driver and told him to get into the truck. The driver
turned and ran away, throwing down his keys as he ran back into the store.
Police said Flakes took the keys and tried to drive away in the truck. But
that's when police arrived, and the start of what turned out to be a
four-hour standoff. With a special response team's cover, negotiators tried
to talk the man out of the truck, according to a news release. Police said
Flakes repeatedly said he was not going back to prison and that officers would
have to shoot him, or he would shoot himself. Police said at one point the man
pointed his rifle at officers who then fired five rounds. They said the man fell
over in the seat of the truck. Officers then moved in and took Flakes into
custody.

Networking has always been a key to career development and finding that next
job. However, if you're not careful it can also limit you, eliminate you and
even work against you. If your network is comprised of executives doing exactly
what you do, then you may have competition and may even find some working
against you. You've got to broaden and expand your network outside your
immediate group and establish relationships outside your company and your
professional circle. Remembering that quantity is no substitute for quality and,
as in any mutually beneficial relationship, what you bring to the table for them
is as important as what they bring to the table for you.
