The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
New York's Hottest Topic: Cracking Down on
Retail Fencing
City aims to hold Facebook, Amazon accountable for hawking stolen goods
Organized street gangs entering luxury
Manhattan retailers, stealing thousands of dollars worth of goods and driving
away have been finding profitable resale outlets through online marketplaces at
Amazon, Facebook and Instagram.
With
grand larceny soaring in Manhattan, state Sen. Brad Hoylman and borough
District Attorney Alvin Bragg have crafted legislation to discourage the
third-party sale of stolen goods. The bill, introduced last week in Albany,
targets a sophisticated “fencing operation,” Bragg said, whereby an
intermediary purchases stolen goods from thieves and resells them online.
“We need some upstream accountability,” Bragg told Crain’s. “We’ve got a real
urgent matter facing our retailers. In particular, we’re seeing sophisticated
groups victimizing people who are shoplifting or stealing out of poverty and
being used by these fencing operations.”
Bragg described the masterminds as sophisticated criminals who use
impoverished youths to do the actual stealing. He described it as “a classic
scheme” that has been adopted by criminals in other arenas.
Hoylman said he hopes that by creating a new Class A misdemeanor offense,
online marketplaces such as Amazon and Facebook will better safeguard themselves
from being platforms for the advertisement and sale of stolen goods.
“Our legislation would impart greater responsibilities on the part of these
third parties,” Hoylman said. “It’s time that these platforms take
responsibility for who is selling what on their websites.”
There have been 1,143 incidents this year of grand larceny—stealing any
property valued at more than $1,000—in Manhattan’s 18th and 19th precincts,
which cover much of Midtown and the Upper East Side. Grand larceny is up 90%
in the 18th Precinct and 50% in the 19th Precinct.
“Shoplifting has skyrocketed in parts of my district,” Hoylman said. “These are
educated operations that are seeking a marketplace for stolen goods.”
Bragg and Hoylman began crafting the legislation following three meetings
Bragg’s office had with the Manhattan Small Business Alliance, a group of
Business Improvement District leaders, small-business owners, law enforcement
officials and social service providers.

The Other Side of the San Francisco Crime
Debate
San Francisco’s Economic Elite Is Gunning for Chesa Boudin
Wealthy San Francisco residents are pouring
money into the recall campaign against progressive DA Chesa Boudin, who’s being
blamed for out-of-control crime.
This
perception of San Francisco as crime-ridden has fueled significant policy
decisions in recent months. It is also one of the main reasons why San
Francisco’s progressive district attorney Chesa Boudin is in danger of being
recalled in June. The campaign to recall Boudin has alternatingly
portrayed the district attorney as dismissive of crime victims and
uninterested in the criminals responsible for wreaking havoc on the city’s
streets.
“Criminals know they will be let off the hook without consequences,”
campaign literature from the pro-recall group
Safer SF Without
Boudin reads.
The
panic over crime is remarkable for a simple reason: San Francisco is
empirically one of the safest major cities in the country. According to FBI
data, violent crime in San Francisco is at its lowest rate since 1985,
the year the bureau started tracking violent crime numbers. The city’s murder
rate is among the lowest in the country for major cities, even after rising
during the pandemic as it did
elsewhere. Motor vehicle thefts also rose during the pandemic, but then
stabilized. Between 2019 to 2021, the
rates of rape, robbery, assault, and crime overall in the city actually
decreased.
There is similarly little data to support the notion that Boudin’s office
systematically refuses to charge criminals. A recent
review by Mission Local found that last year Boudin actually filed
charges at a higher rate than any San Francisco district attorney since 2011.
To blame or credit Boudin personally for the crime rate in San Francisco is
questionable to begin with. Just two months after Boudin was sworn in, the city
was plunged into interlocking crises triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, which
correlated with a
spike in violent crime across the country. In Sacramento, where the district
attorney’s office is led by tough-on-crime Republican-turned-Independent Anne
Marie Schubert, the murder rate increased by more than it did in San
Francisco.
“There’s
no causal relationship between the crime rate and who the DA is,” Lara
Bazelon, law professor at San Francisco University and chair of the district
attorney office’s Innocence Commission, said.

Violence Interruption Programs Spread Across
the U.S.
Cities put hopes in violence interrupters, but few understand their challenges
“They need everything that a police
department would need, because they’re also fighting crime," one expert said.
As calls for alternatives to policing intensify, several cities have set
their sights on violence interruption to solve the problems of gun violence
and over-policing in communities of color — but many say they need more social
and professional support to succeed in the job long term.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed Tuesday that reports of
firearm homicides surged to a historic high in 2020, at almost 20,000 deaths,
and it pointed to violence interruption as a possible solution.
Over the last two years, lawmakers in
Indianapolis;
Savannah, Georgia; and
Knoxville, Tennessee, have either started or expanded violence interruption
programs — which aim to reduce gun violence through community-based
mediation — and even the
Justice Department said last year it would give $444 million in grants
to support a wide variety of violence reduction efforts, including
community-based violence intervention and prevention strategies.
But while hopes are high for the model as one avenue to help stem violence,
those who work with such organizations say there is still a lack
infrastructure for workers to succeed — including inconsistent or disparate
funding and high rates of burnout — causing most to leave the profession after
about five years.

Demand for Mace Surges Amid New York's Crime Surge
Crime-plagued and fearful, New Yorkers need easy access to mace
A ludicrous law stands in the way of New Yorkers getting access to this most
basic form of self-defense. While anyone can order mace online via Amazon, a
state law prohibits the product from
being
shipped to New York addresses.
There are only a
handful of in-person locations that sell pepper spray in the city, many
of which have shuttered since the pandemic. Online message boards are flooded
with desperate New Yorkers trading notes on where to find it (like this
Reddit thread, which points out you can buy an ax at Target but not
pepper spray).
And yet, despite a mounting need for self-defense, the law stands. Overall
crime
is up 60 percent since last year, and the city has been rocked by a slew
of
hate crimes,
subway shovings, and
heinous murders in recent months.
The bottom line: The ban on shipping pepper spray is ludicrous. Vulnerable New
Yorkers shouldn’t be waiting on lines, contacting out-of-state friends, or
scouring Reddit threads to find it. And, with more than
1.5 million single women and
1 million elderly residents in the city, there’s no place where easy access
to basic, non-lethal self-defense is more necessary.

Bipartisan Support for More Police Funding
Pascrell, Rutherford Lead 160 Members of Congress in Support of Police Funding
Law enforcement chairs seek bigger Byrne
JAG, COPS grants in FY2023 appropriations
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Reps. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09) and John
Rutherford (R-FL-04), the co-chairmen of the House Law Enforcement Caucus, are
leading a bipartisan group of 160 Democrats and Republicans
requesting increased funding in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 appropriation bill
for the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (Byrne JAG) and the Community Oriented
Policing Services (COPS) programs. The diverse ideological cross-section of
members demonstrates strong support for these grants across the spectrum in
Congress.
“The Byrne JAG and COPS programs are the cornerstone of our federal justice
assistance programs. Together, these grants are critical to ensuring state and
local law enforcement have the training, tools, and personnel necessary to serve
their communities. Since their inception, Byrne JAG and COPS grants have enabled
law enforcement agencies to better protect their communities and promote
community policing initiatives that form vital bonds between officers and those
they serve,” the members write the Chairman and Ranking Member of the
Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies House Appropriations
Subcommittee.

COVID Cases Have Doubled in a Month - But
Concern Is Low
Poll: Coronavirus Cases Increasing in U.S. While Concern Levels Drop
The survey also found that many Americans
have dropped mitigation measures like social distancing and masking.
Concerns over catching COVID-19 are the lowest they’ve been since July 2020
despite increasing coronavirus infections, according to a new poll. Fewer
than 1 in 3 Americans report being “somewhat” or “very” worried about
contracting COVID-19, according to the
survey from Gallup published Wednesday.
The survey also found that many Americans have dropped mitigation measures.
Social distancing efforts have fallen to their lowest levels since the pandemic
began, and about half of Americans report wearing masks when they leave their
homes.
The U.S. is averaging nearly 75,000 new coronavirus cases each day,
according to
data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Just a month
ago, that number stood at 30,000. While infections are on the rise, it’s
still just a fraction of what was reported during the peak of the omicron
wave when average daily cases topped 800,000.

Another Headache Coming for Pharmacy Chains
Biden is expanding Paxlovid availability. For independent pharmacies, stocking
the COVID pill can be a hassle
The
White House is ramping up a
national expansion of Paxlovid — Pfizer’s life-saving COVID-19 pill — as
omicron subvariants continue to spread. The Biden administration has touted the
drug’s efficacy in helping to reduce hospitalizations for people with underlying
health conditions.
But business owners at local independent pharmacies say that the federal
government hasn’t necessarily taken steps to make the drug more accessible.
“This is not just a normal medication; this is a life-saving medication, and
there’s extra work involved from our end and everything that goes with
what we need to do in order to fill the script,” Ost said.
According to local pharmacists, many community pharmacies are deterred from
filling Paxlovid prescriptions due to low reimbursements. Some cite that it
hinders accessibility significantly, creating a limited supply for patients
to get the medication.

COVID Workplace Guidance
Regulatory Update: Cal/OSHA Issues Latest COVID-19 ETS
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) recently
announced extension of its COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS) for
workplaces and at the same time made several notable changes.
“It may feel as though the pandemic is behind us, but the Cal/OSHA Standards
Board is not yet ready to lift all COVID-19-related safety measures for
workplaces in California,” commented attorneys Ben Gipson and Samantha
Saltzman of the DLA Piper law firm.
The standards have been revised to follow the California Department of Public
Health (CDPH) update issued in April to its isolation and quarantine guidance.
CDPH no longer requires close contacts to quarantine after exposure, though
those not fully vaccinated or recently infected in the prior 90 days are advised
to still be excluded from work for at least five days with testing.

Are 100 million new COVID-19 cases coming?
The Biden administration issues dire COVID prediction for this fall
The Biden administration’s warning that the United States could be hit by 100
million COVID-19 infections this fall is getting some backing by the Utah
Department of Health.
Keeping in mind that new variants of the virus are expected to emerge and the
nation’s
immunity is waning, Sam LeFevre, director of the state health
department’s office of communicable diseases, told the Deseret News, “we think
it is quite possible the nation could see up to 100 million cases in a fall
surge.”
The surge predicted for the nation that The Washington Post said could also
bring “a potentially significant wave of deaths” through the winter, is
being blamed on the latest versions of the highly transmissible omicron variant
that appear able to evade immunity from vaccinations and even previous omicron
infections.

Ikea's LP Revolution
Embracing the LP revolution at Ikea
What can loss prevention professionals expect in the future? “Change, change and
more change,” says Vic Jacinto, U.S. safety and security manager for Ikea.
Jacinto, who has been with Ikea for 21 years and oversees all things safety- or
security-related, is speaking at NRF’s premier retail security event,
NRF PROTECT 2022 in
Cleveland, taking place June 21-23. His session? “Change
is here. Is your LP team ready?”
Read
on for more of Jacinto’s perspective on the adapting LP landscape and building
teams that can thrive.
So much of the retail environment has changed over
the last two years. What were some of your key loss prevention goals two years
ago and what are the goals today?
Two years seems like a lifetime ago, but at that time we were very focused
internally on streamlining how we support our units. That was completely upended
and today we are focused on providing adequate training to get our loss
prevention managers and teams the training they need. We have experienced
quite a bit of internal movement and turnover in our teams and our training
programs weren’t robust enough to handle such immense change at once.
What are some of the threats and challenges facing
retail LP professionals today and what can companies do to adapt to the LP world
of tomorrow?
Social and political changes and unrest that affect the retail business,
including how loss prevention operates, are things that can’t be underestimated.
Today’s retailers must focus on being adaptable and flexible, and
emergency/crisis management teams must be ready to think and react on their feet
for whatever crisis comes next.
What can executive leadership do to help improve
their company’s safety culture or business continuity efforts?
As far as business continuity, make sure the plans are updated and tested
periodically during tabletop exercises. Following an event, perform an
after-action review and make necessary changes to all plans, including business
continuity plans. When it comes to safety culture, it must be embedded within
the culture — just as it is implied with the term “safety culture.” It
sounds simple enough, but it’s not. It must start day one with a new employee,
and it must repeat and continue throughout the organization — with every
employee and at every level — every single day.
What are the three most important things when
building an LP program? - What’s next for the loss prevention industry?

Supermarket Closure Wave
Is inflation the true cause of recent supermarket closures?
Some big name grocers have been closing
store locations against the backdrop of record-breaking inflation.
Walmart
closed three under-performing locations in April, in Louisville, Cincinnati
and Bellevue, Washington, with plans to close two more soon, according to
Eat This, Not That! Whole Foods announced the impending closure of six
stores, including ones in Chicago, Alabama, California and Massachusetts.
Kroger has closed two underperforming store locations so far in 2022, in
Kentucky and Mississippi, and is relocating a third. Piggly Wiggly has
announced the closure of several stores in the 17 states in which it
operates.
The inflationary economy may be forcing grocers to take a closer look at the
profitability of individual locations. Inflation brings increased costs from
suppliers, which makes it more difficult for retailers to protect margins,
leading them to pursue their own cost-cutting measures.
The news of major enterprises closing stores comes a few months after reports
that inflation was already putting small, local grocers out of business.

Retail's Latest Crisis
Baby formula maker: It will take more than a month to resupply infant formula
The owner of a key baby formula manufacturing plant said Wednesday it is looking
to restart its plant in as little as two weeks — but said it would take
between six to eight weeks to get formula products back on store shelves
once production gets going again.
In a new statement Wednesday, Abbott said that, subject to Food and Drug
Administration approval, it could restart the Sturgis site “within two weeks.”
But from the time it brings the facility back online, it would take six to
eight weeks before product makes it to store shelves, Abbott said.
As much as
43 percent of normal supplies of formula were out of stock in U.S. grocery
stores in the first week of May, according to data from retail research
group Datasembly. The shortage has led to calls for Washington to act. In a
statement Tuesday, the FDA said it was expediting import documentation from
product overseas to get formula in more swiftly, and was also granting
case-by-case waivers to allow the sale of “life-sustaining supplies” of
specialty and metabolic formulas.

How Interface Security Systems Maximizes ROI for Clients
Leadership for commercial monitored and
managed service provider Interface
talk leveraging AI to deliver smarter security, network & operational solutions.
Founded
more than a quarter-century ago and headquartered within the St. Louis metro
area, Interface Security
Systems is a leading, complete nationwide provider of recurring
revenue-based managed security, network connectivity, unified communications as
a service (UCaaS) and business intelligence solutions to distributed
enterprises.
Best known for the robust interactive video monitoring capabilities gained from
the
2012 acquisition of Westec, in 2021 the company reported 37% growth and
landed $60 million in equity investing. Interface serves around 65,000 customer
locations, with a strong foothold in the retail market that includes Michaels,
Swatch, Kay Jewelers, Applebee’s and Panda Express.
SSI spoke with Senior Vice President of
Marketing Sunita Mani, CEO Brent Duncan and
Senior Vice President of Enterprise Security Sean Foley to find out
how the company improves security, streamlines connectivity and optimizes
operations to maximize ROI for the nation’s top brands. Also discussed are
pandemic impacts and outcomes, in-demand technologies and services, and emerging
market opportunities.
How has the pandemic impacted and affected your
customer relationships?
Brent Duncan: We saw a disproportionately
high impact on our customer base, given that we’re dealing so much with
consumer-facing organizations. We have a large customer base within retail that
was heavily affected by the pandemic. A good portion of that customer base is
mall-based, even further impacted.
The pandemic, ultimately, drastically increased tech adoption. The focus turned
to leveraging new technology, video, anything in-store to drive awareness on
customer experience or to create convenience as a result of some of the issues
from the pandemic. We were excited to partner with our customers to help
navigate that and figure it out. We have a number of services that have emerged
directly out of the
COVID
situation.
Sean Foley: Coming out of COVID, now more
than ever, the days of a business checking the box with respect to CCTV and an
intrusion alarm and just being done with it are very much over. Our clients —
which tend to be larger-scale retailers, QSR organizations, relatively
sophisticated asset protection, loss prevention departments — want a lot more
out of their solutions.
Whether
that is ensuring that they’re not getting false alarms and integrating the video
solution with alarms, dealing more directly with the rise in ORC and organized
retail crime, shoplifting, they’re demanding that. They’re wanting to get more
out of their security investment, and that’s what we’re providing.
Sunita Mani: Yes, we are seeing increased
demand in security services, video analytics and focusing on the underlying
network that needs to support these applications. That’s where we come in as
well.

Hackers Breached Federal Law Enforcement
Databases?
DEA Investigating Breach of Law Enforcement Data Portal
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says it is investigating reports
that hackers gained unauthorized access to an agency portal that taps into 16
different federal law enforcement databases. KrebsOnSecurity has learned the
alleged compromise is tied to a cybercrime and online harassment community that
routinely impersonates police and government officials to harvest personal
information on their targets.
On May 8, KrebsOnSecurity received a tip that hackers obtained a username and
password for an authorized user of esp.usdoj.gov, which is the Law
Enforcement Inquiry and Alerts (LEIA) system managed by the DEA.
KrebsOnSecurity shared information about the allegedly hijacked account with the
DEA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Justice,
which houses both agencies. The DEA declined to comment on the validity of the
claims, issuing only a brief statement in response.
According to
this page at the Justice Department website, LEIA “provides federated search
capabilities for both EPIC and external database repositories,” including data
classified as “law enforcement sensitive” and “mission sensitive” to the DEA.
A
document published by the Obama administration in May 2016 (PDF) says the
DEA’s
El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) systems in Texas are available for use
by federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement, as well as the Department
of Defense and intelligence community.
EPIC and LEIA also have access to the DEA’s National Seizure System (NSS), which
the DEA uses to identify property thought to have been purchased with the
proceeds of criminal activity (think fancy cars, boats and homes seized from
drug kingpins).
The screenshots shared with this author indicate the hackers could use EPIC
to look up a variety of records, including those for motor vehicles, boats,
firearms, aircraft, and even drones.

Global Cybersecurity Warning
U.S., allies warn of rising recent & future attacks on managed service providers
Cybersecurity
authorities in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada and New Zealand released a
joint advisory Wednesday warning that they “expect malicious cyber actors —
including state-sponsored advanced persistent threat (APT) groups — to step up
their targeting” of managed service providers, and urged a renewed focus on
cyber hygiene.
Managed service providers, typically referred to as “MSPs,” manage and sometimes
provide IT services for other entities, such as hosting or platform services,
creating a situation where businesses and many governments have to trust that
the MSP is secure.
"Whether the customer’s network environment is on premises or externally hosted,
threat actors can use a vulnerable MSP as an initial access vector to
multiple victim networks, with globally cascading effects,”
the
notice read. The nations said they “are aware of recent reports that observe
an increase in malicious cyber activity targeting managed service providers (MSPs)
and expect this trend to continue.”
An attacker gaining access to an MSP can provide a ready vector to target that
MSP’s customers for “follow-on activity — such as ransomware and cyber
espionage,” the authorities warned.
REvil, the Russia-based ransomware group, was able to compromise as many as 50
MSPs in its
July 2021 attack on IT tech management firm Kaseya, which enabled attacks on
as many as 1,500 MSP clients.
The authorities pointed out that they’ve offered guidance on security matters to
MSPs and their customers multiple times in the past. But Wednesday’s notice,
which included detailed guidance for best practices, was an effort to enable
discussions between the MSPs and their customers.
The nations offered detailed recommendations as to how MSPs and their customers
should work to deter attacks, including general cyber hygiene, enforcing
multi-factor authentication and applying software updates to address known
vulnerabilities.

Slowing Down U.S. Cyber Operations?
Legislator slams Biden admin for dialing back DOD cyber operation authorities
Cyberspace Solarium Commission Co-Chair Rep. Mike Gallagher lambasted the White
House Wednesday, saying the decision to give the State Department more
ability to weigh in on some cyber operations “risks undermining our national
security.”
Gallagher, a Wisconsin Republican, made his remarks
in response to a CyberScoop report citing two sources familiar with the
discussions between the White House and the State and Defense departments. The
White House brokered a deal that would bring the State Department back into
the decision-making process on cyber operations, paring back unprecedented
authorities the Defense Department gained in the Trump administration under
a policy known as National Security Presidential Memorandum-13 (NSPM-13).
As part of the compromise the State Department would have an enhanced ability
to oversee cyber operations involving third-party countries. For example, if
a Russian cyber operation relied on a server in France, the State Department
would now have more of a window into the decision to conduct a cyber operation
there and weigh in on whether and how to notify the French government.
Gallagher contended that anything that slows down U.S. Cyber Command is
dangerous in a world where cyber operations are conducted with lightning
speed.
Gallagher and his Cyberspace Solarium Commission Co-Chair Sen. Angus King, an
Independent from Maine, previously
cautioned against revising NSPM-13. Those comments came
in response to CyberScoop reporting that the Biden administration was
planning to pare back the authorities given to Defense under the policy, which
was issued in 2018.
“Any effort to alter and possibly weaken NSPM-13 signals to our adversaries a
lack of credible willingness to use offensive cyber capabilities which
undermines the credibility of our deterrent,”
King and Gallagher wrote in an April letter to President Biden.
State Department and Obama White House alumni assert that it was necessary to
bring State back into the cyber operations decision-making process. They say
that allies have been displeased by U.S. Cyber Command operations that fall
within their borders, particularly when they are not notified in advance.

U.S. Cybersecurity Talent Shortage
Cybersecurity has a desperate skills crisis. Rural America could have the answer
A tiny town of 3,000 people has grown into a
flourishing cybersecurity hotspot, and a case study on how the US could fix its
growing tech skills shortage.
Employers face a severe shortage of qualified IT and tech staff as
companies increase their investments in digital innovation and shift on-premises
infrastructure to the cloud.
Yet organizations have traditionally focused their hiring efforts on the area
in which their offices are located – typically major towns and cities –
which limits their own recruitment efforts while also severely limiting
employment opportunities for anyone who lives outside of metro areas.

All-Cash Pot Businesses Face Constant Risks
Better Cannabis Security Needed As Dispensary Robberies Rise
As all-cash businesses, dispensaries face
constant risks.
Businesses
in the cannabis industry face massive hurdles just to exist. Even in states
where the recreational use of marijuana is legal, the federal prohibition of the
product means cannabis retail businesses have to operate almost entirely with
cash and have to meet tough standards and regulations that aren’t imposed on
other businesses.
The difficulty of the business itself is one thing. It’s made significantly
tougher by worsening crime targeting cannabis companies. There’s an
emerging market of security companies specifically targeting the cannabis
industry as an attempt to deal with that.
Dispensary Robberies Becoming More Frequent
Eggers says you can never stop crime altogether. Break-ins are a matter of if,
not when. That’s especially true in the Bay Area, where CCSS is based. And it’s
a fact for all retail businesses, not just those dealing with cannabis.
In the Bay, break-ins at dispensaries have gotten so bad that local officials
have started speaking up, voicing their concerns that crime could drive out
small business owners. The Chairman of Oakland’s Cannabis Regulatory
Commission, Chaney Turner, has even said he fears the crime could affect People
of Color more than any other group, driving out the very people many cannabis
legalization laws hoped to help.
A Changing Market
Eggers says he has multiple clients who are thinking about leaving Oakland or
San Francisco because of how bad crime has gotten there. He says he spent a
lot of time talking with cannabis business owners about what their pain points
are, so that he could then talk with them about solutions.
Eggers explains, CCSS gives companies “one throat to choke.” The guard
company, camera company, video monitoring company, roaming patrols, and so
on are all subcontractors under CCSS. That way, if something goes wrong, the
business only has one place to call for help, rather than trying to deal with

D.C. May Be Forced to Act on Cannabis Crime
Wave
Cannabis crime wave boosts banking prospects on Capitol Hill
Weed businesses struggle to bank in the
U.S., leaving cash on the premises.
Exact numbers are difficult to pin down, but in Washington state alone
officials say there were more than 50 armed robberies of cannabis stores in the
first two months of 2022 — a greater number than in all of 2020 or 2021.
“The
time for congressional dithering on this issue needs to end, because people
are dying,” Washington State Treasurer Mike Pellicciotti said in an
interview. “Robbers go where the cash is.”
Now, this wave of robberies and deaths may shift the outlook on Capitol Hill
for legislation that would make it easier for cannabis companies to open bank
accounts and apply for small business loans. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) —
the third-ranking Senate Democrat — recently stated that cannabis banking is a
top priority for her in negotiations over a China competition bill. The American
Bankers Association and all 50 state banking associations cited public safety
concerns in a recent letter to Senate leaders urging its inclusion.
“There’s kind of growing momentum and interest,” said Sen. Jeff Merkley
(D-Ore), a lead sponsor of the bill.
The recent spate of headline-grabbing robberies and deaths have highlighted
the negative impacts of federal inaction, and spurred involvement from powerful
lawmakers. Meanwhile, the delayed introduction of a federal
decriminalization bill in the Senate — which would also fix the problem — has
reopened the door for weed and banking. But the bill still faces a
potentially fatal obstacle: Democrats’ insistence that it include social equity
or criminal justice reform provisions alongside the banking legislation.

Securing Your Cannabis Store
What are Smart Safes and How to Use Them at Cannabis Dispensaries
Having
large sums of cash present at your business invites criminal activity from both
outside and within. Beyond that, keeping track of cash on a daily basis is a
laborious and time-consuming task. Smart safes are a practical way to
eliminate much of the risk involved with cash at cannabis dispensaries. With
this new technology, cannabis business owners can increase efficiency at their
dispensaries, while also keeping better tabs on cash totals.
What are Smart Safes?
Smart safes can combine traditional locking safes and modern cash management
software in a single unit. With smart safes, cannabis business owners can
track cash flow at their dispensaries at all times, while also having
better control over who has access to the cash. Cannabis business owners can
also keep tabs on cash activity at their stores from afar simply by logging into
their cash management account.
Smart safe technology keeps track of cash deposits directly at the point of
sale (POS). As such, these safes can give a real-time update on exactly how
much cash is on hand at the store at all times. When it comes time for employees
to
balance their registers at the end of a shift, much of the hard work is
already complete.
What are the Main Features of Smart Safes?
Smart safes are designed specifically to streamline the
daily cash flow activities at retail businesses like cannabis dispensaries
and can help cannabis business owners and management count money, balance
registers, secure cash, and get deposits to the bank.
How can Smart Safes Help Cannabis Dispensaries?
With cash management software, smart safes give cannabis businesses real-time
access to cash totals in store. Using this technology, cannabis business owners
can monitor activity from afar and make sure their team remains compliant. Even
more, with increased access control measures, smart safes will greatly reduce
the risks of internal theft at the dispensary.

Millions of Amazon Returns
What happens to your Amazon returns? Sometimes, they go to the highest bidder
Amazon
makes it easy to return something you don’t want, so you probably don’t think
about what happens to that box once it leaves your house. It turns out that
ill-fitting dress or unwanted frying pan — or whatever it is you decide not to
keep — goes on a fascinating journey.
What is the fate of millions of Amazon returns? “Every item returned to Amazon
is carefully inspected through a rigorous process by our trained Associates,” a
spokesperson told Nexstar via email. “If it meets our high standards to be
resold as new, it’s re-listed for sale.”
That’s the first and most obvious answer: It gets sold again. It’s also
the most boring answer — because loads of returned merchandise end up finding a
second life on the liquidation market, where they’re sold by the pallet at a
deep discount.
Anyone willing to bid on a pallet of mystery goods can end up with a load of
returned items shipped to their house. Whether or not there’s anything valuable
in that delivery can turn out to be a mixed bag. There’s a whole sub-genre of
YouTube content dedicated to bidding thousands of dollars on a pallet of Amazon
returns, then unboxing them to tabulate if it was worth it, to see if the
YouTuber’s gamble paid off.
Here’s how the whole process works. Sellers who use Amazon’s platform can opt to
have returned items sent back to them — so they can figure out what to do with
them — or they can choose to route their returns straight to liquidation,
according to Amazon.
From there, the items get repackaged into boxes — sometimes with similar things,
sometimes with things nothing like them — and are up for sale again. But this
time, they’re up for grabs to the highest bidder on places like
Liquidation.com or
bstock.com.

The Digital Hiring Slowdown
Uber, Amazon, and Facebook Have Slowed Hiring. Why Others Could Follow.
Facebook parent Meta Platforms, ride-share service provider Uber Technologies
and tech and online retail giant Amazon.com have announced hiring slowdowns
in recent weeks. It’s all about keeping down costs, according to one
economist.
Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group, said for
industries such as restaurants and grocery stores, the demand for labor still
exceeds supply. But for tech companies, the rising cost of doing business
leaves them with few choices on how to improve their profit margins.

Pittsburg, CA: Man arrested, $700K worth of stolen items recovered
California
Highway Patrol recovered stolen merchandise valued at $715,000, it announced
Wednesday. Julio Cuellar, 45, was arrested and is believed to be part of an
organized retail theft ring. Investigators with the Golden Gate Division’s
Organized Retail Crime Task Force found the items at a residence and a storage
facility in Pittsburg. The items were from CVS Health, Target, RiteAid, Safeway,
Sunglasses Hut, Macy’s, Total Wine and More, and other stores. Officers
found out that Cuellar leased several storage units after searching the home in
Pittsburg, where he stashed additional stolen items. Police said the stolen
goods have been linked to thefts across the state. “The task force, in
collaboration with the retail industry and our allied agency partners, is
identifying these organized rings and making our communities safer,” CHP Golden
Gate Division Chief Chris Costigan said.

Hollywood-style heist: crooks steal $200,000 in equipment from stores in
Willoughby and Westlake
Police
believe a pair of elaborate heists in Willoughby and Westlake are connected
after a group of thieves managed to break into two separate businesses, stealing
up to $200,000 worth of computer hardware. They used saws and grinders to cut
holes in the roof, before dropping into the rooms where the expensive equipment
was being stored. “One of the detectives on scene made the comment that it was
like something out of a movie,” said Det. Lt. John Begovic with the Willoughby
Police Department. The crooks managed to break into Mentor Electronics in
Willoughby around 10:30 p.m. on April 16. They stole between $100,000 and
$200,000 worth of materials there, Begovic told 19 News. On its website, the
business refers to itself as a computer and computer component supplier. Two
hours earlier, a similar business, Freedom Wireless, was hit in Westlake.

Update: Charles County, MD: Waldorf Man Found Guilty by Jury of First Degree
Murder After Shooting a 7-Eleven employee during Armed Robbery
Tony
Covington, State’s Attorney for Charles County, announced that on Wednesday, May
11, 2022, a Charles County jury, after an 8-day trial, convicted Gregory Deshawn
Collins, 23, of Waldorf, of the First-Degree Felony Murder of Lynn Maher, Armed
Robbery, and related charges. On October 1, 2020, officers responded to the 7-11
convenience store located in the 3300 block of Middletown Road in Waldorf for
the report of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers discovered victim Lynn Maher,
an employee of 7-11, deceased at the scene. An investigation revealed that on
the night of the incident, a male suspect entered the store and selected a 7-11
brand tea bottle. He then approached the sales counter, where Maher was working
as a cashier. The suspect brandished a handgun and announced a robbery. Maher
removed all the money from the register till and gave it to the suspect. She
showed the empty register till to the suspect, who pointed a handgun at her and
pulled the trigger. The bullet struck Maher in the head, killing her. After
shooting Maher, the suspect put the money, a total of $249.69, in his pocket and
fled the scene.

Robberies, Incidents & Thefts
Montgomery County, MD: McDonald's armed robbery suspect still at large;
employees share details on terrifying encounter
Police
are asking for the public's help identifying an armed robbery suspect seen in
surveillance video threatening employees with a knife, going behind the counter
of a McDonald's and ripping out a cashier drawer. The incident happened in the
8500 block of Colesville Road at McDonald's in Silver Spring around 12:15 p.m.
on May 5. Employees say it happened in the middle of the day with plenty of
customers inside, and some feel that they got a second chance at life.
Montgomery County Police Detective Charles Horwitz says the cases they’re
usually working on involve robbery suspects covering their faces to conceal
their identity. However, in the McDonald's security footage, you can see the man
appearing to lift his shirt, trying to grab or show a knife. He then hops over a
small wall to get behind the store's registers and with a knife, pries open a
register drawer.

Murfreesboro, TN: Reward for Information Leading to the Capture of the 'Rock
Burglar,' who may have broken into 36 local businesses
Rutherford County CrimeStoppers is offering up to $1,000 for information leading
to the arrest of a serial ‘Rock Burglar.’ The so-called rock burglar broke into
two more local businesses this week and police now suspect the same subject may
be responsible for up to 36 burglaries in the Murfreesboro area. On Tuesday, May
10, an individual smashed the front glass door of the Subway, 2933 Medical
Center Pkwy. The burglar jumped the counter and emptied the cash register. He
was in and out within 20-seconds. About 18-minutes later, the front glass door
of the Homegrown Marketplace & The Soda Bar is shattered. Surveillance video
shows the same person entering the business, grabbing money from the cash
register, and leaving within seconds. MPD Public Information Officer Larry
Flowers told WGNS… In the two recent burglaries the alarm sounded in both cases,
but by the time the alarm company alerted the police, the burglar was gone. The
unidentified burglar may be responsible for at least 36 business burglaries
in Murfreesboro since Nov. 2021. Police tell WGNS NEWS that the serial
burglar may have committed similar burglaries in several Middle Tennessee
cities, including Smyrna, Nashville, Mt. Juliet, and Shelbyville.

stormed the counter, smashing the glass display cases and grabbing a number of
high-end watches. While no one was seriously injured during the brazen crime,
store workers were left rattled. Local 10 News spotted one man dousing himself
with water and wiping his face.

Perception becomes reality slowly on a macro level and it's difficult to change
it if it's incorrect or doesn't portray the truth. It's the same reason law
enforcement separates witnesses to ensure clarity and truth. The group mind
becomes influenced by opinion and agendas and distorts the true reality. One can
only rely on daily vigilance based on doing what's right to hopefully impact the
individuals one works with on a daily basis to carry the experience forward and
be witness to what is right.
