SZA & Sandy Security - Racial Profiling - Bad
Stop?
Sephora Closing 400+ Stores 6/5 for "Diversity Training After SZA Controversy"
Sephora will close more than 400 stores on Wednesday to host diversity training
for employees in the wake of artist SZA alleging that an employee recently
thought she was stealing, according to a statement from the company.
The beauty store announced the decision last week on
Facebook, noting that "every Sephora store, distribution center, and
corporate office in the US will close to host inclusion workshops for our
employees. These values have always been at the heart of Sephora, and we're
excited to welcome everyone when we reopen."
 The
training comes less than a week after SZA, whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe,
posted on Twitter that an employee she dubbed "Sandy Sephora...called
security to make sure I wasn't stealing" at one of the California store
locations.
"We had a long talk," she wrote. "U have a blessed day Sandy."
While SZA did not explicitly say she thought she was racially profiled,
many people took her experience to be a result of that.
Sephora is the latest of a major corporation to undergo diversity training after
allegations of racial profiling arose. Perhaps most infamously, Starbucks closed
8,000 stores across the country in May 2018 for an afternoon as employees went
through anti-bias training. It came after managers at a Philadelphia Starbucks
called police on two black men who asked to use the restroom but were refused
because they hadn't bought anything.
They were subsequently arrested.

Decriminalizing - Dropping Charges - Saying it's ok to shoplift
As we continue to see this North American trend the LP industry is faced with a
serious quandary: how does the program continue to deliver best in class results

Has Colorado's Legalizing Marijuana Led to
Increase in Crime?
Six years ago, Colorado became the very first U.S. state to legalize
recreational marijuana. Here's what's happened there since.
Crime Rates: The report from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice
Office of Research and Statistics also found that the total number of marijuana
industry-related crimes remained stable and made up a very small portion of
overall crime. The most common industry-related crime was burglary,
accounting for 59 percent of all industry-related crime in 2017.
At the same time, however, all forms of violent crime in Colorado have steadily
increased over the past five years, according to the Colorado Bureau of
Investigations' latest annual report on
statewide
crime statistics.
 Violent
crimes, including murders and aggravated assaults, have increased by 25
percent from 2013 to 2017. Property crime rates also rose statewide during that
time.
Whether Colorado's rising crime rates are connected to marijuana legalization is
hotly debated.
Gov. Hickenlooper has said he isn't yet ready to pin the blame of rising crime
on the legalization of marijuana. In Fort Collins, Larimer County Sheriff Justin
Smith told
CNN recently that cannabis isn't making it more likely that a person will
commit a crime. Rather, he believes that legal marijuana attracts a "growing
seasonal transient population" that is more likely to commit crime. medicalmarijuanainc.com
Do Marijuana Dispensaries Cause Rise in Crime?
A study found an association between marijuana dispensaries and increases in
rates of crime in neighborhoods in Denver shortly after Colorado commenced legal
retail sales of marijuana.
The study, by researchers at the University of Colorado Denver, appears in
Justice Quarterly, a publication of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences.
"We found that neighborhoods with one or more medical or recreational dispensary
saw increased crime rates that were between 26 and 1,452 percent higher
than in neighborhoods without any commercial marijuana activity."
Data showed that except for murder, the presence of at least one medical
marijuana dispensary was associated with a statistically significant increase in
neighborhood crime and disorder, including robbery and aggravated assault.
However, researchers noted that the strongest associations between
dispensaries and crime weakened significantly over time.
A full copy of the report can be found here.

Calif. Marijuana legalization was supposed to
decrease crime
- it's more complicated
Talk to authorities in California's Emerald Triangle, which includes Humboldt,
Mendocino, and Trinity Counties) by some estimates grows
60 percent of the country's marijuana.
When I asked Trinity County's undersheriff, Christopher Compton, what's happened
since a 2016 initiative legalized pot in the state, he said: "We haven't seen
any drop in crime whatsoever. In fact, we've seen a pretty steady increase."
Compton's counterpart in Mendocino, Matthew Kendall, agreed: "We're seeing more
robberies and more gun violence."
What's going on? One factor is that
legalization has led to a boom in the weed business, thereby increasing the
supply of two things that tempt would-be thieves: the crop, and the cash it
generates. The latter is particularly abundant, because while some credit
unions and regional banks have begun accepting marijuana money, the big ones
don't.
A second factor: California may have legalized pot, but
not all growers want to be legal. Out of 32,000 growers only 10% are
legal with the unlicensed becoming criminal gang targets.

Lowe's & The Teamsters at Odds at Ports &
Warehouses
Attending Shareholders Meeting & Handing out leaflets at
Charlotte stores
Truck drivers and warehouse workers from the Port of Los Angeles, along with
Teamsters Local 391 from North Carolina, are calling on Lowe's to "clean up
[its] broken supply chain" and break ties with NFI Industries, which they say is
misclassifying workers and violating labor laws, according to a
press release from Justice for Port Drivers. Lowe's
contracts NFI Industries for supply chain work.
Union members plan to attend the Lowe's Annual General Meeting today in
Charlotte, North Carolina. The union wants to share with executives what it sees
as "egregious and persistent labor law violations that are routinely happening
in their supply chain," according to the release.
 Along
with attending the Lowe's Annual General Meeting, the port workers and union
members will
hand out leaflets detailing their concerns outside of a Lowe's store in
Charlotte, N.C., near Lowe's headquarters in Mooresville, N.C.
"We want to make sure you are aware of the many problems at NFI," the workers'
letter to Ellison said. "For years, we have spoken up about unsafe equipment,
incredibly hot temperatures inside the warehouse, misclassification as
'independent contractors,' racial discrimination we've faced, retaliation and
intimidation, widespread wage theft we endure, and ongoing abuses of our rights
as workers."

NY Diamond Merchant Cops To $4.9M Bank Leumi Fraud
Diamond merchant Alain Spira admitted to a $4.9 million bank fraud on Friday,
telling a Manhattan federal judge he lied to Bank Leumi USA about the
strength of his business, A.S. Diamonds Inc., to access credit.
Spira, 51, faces a theoretical maximum sentence of 30 years in prison at his
scheduled Oct. 29 sentencing before U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla,
who accepted his guilty plea. Sentencing guidelines in a plea agreement
contemplate a prison term in the range of 4 1/2 years and a potentially stiff
fine.
Spira agreed to make a total of almost $4.9 million of forfeiture.

Can Zero Waste Grocery Stores Fix the Country's Garbage Problem?
The United States has a garbage problem.
According to the
USDA, it's estimated that
between 30-40% of the food supply goes to waste every year, with 31% lost at the
retail and consumer levels. In 2010, this
was the equivalent of $161 billion and about 133 billion pounds of food.
Wasted food doesn't just mean wasted money for individuals and grocery stores;
food waste also has a far-reaching impact on the environment. Food production,
preparation, transportation, storage, and disposal are all labor- and
energy-intensive processes that result in a huge strain on natural resources and
the U.S. workforce as a whole. As this wasted food decomposes in landfills, it
releases large amounts of methane gas into the atmosphere.
Enter the zero waste grocery store movement. Focused on the tenants of reducing,
reusing, recovering, and recycling,
zero waste business models take a sustainability-minded approach to waste
management.
Zero waste grocery stores are now starting to pop up all over the country. Even
some large grocery chains, including
Wegmans and Kroger, have started to
incorporate zero waste philosophies into their sustainability initiatives.
Instead of selling prepackaged foods, these stores instead sell bulk foods such
as grains, nuts, spices, oils, and beans without packaging.
Customers can come in with their own reusable containers and fill them up with
the amount needed.
Not only does this take packaging out of the equation, but it also helps to
avoid food waste.

One Secret to Costco's Success: A Tight Rein on Shoplifting
Ahead of Costco's earnings report later this week, it's worth noting that one of
the secrets to the warehouse club's financial success has been to keep
shoplifting to a bare minimum.
The company's shrinkage, or shrink, the catchall industry term for merchandise
lost to shoplifting and employee theft, as well as damage or cashier errors, is
just 0.11% to 0.12% of sales, against a 1% to 2% average in the retail industry.
Costco Wholesale (ticker COST) may have the lowest shrinkage of any major
retailer-although few provide specific figures. Costco's performance is
important because the company has rock-bottom profit margins-a critical element
in the value proposition for its 53 million members.
Shrinkage comes up periodically as an issue for retailers as it did on last
week's J.C. Penney (JCP) earnings conference call. The struggling
department-store retailer said it's making progress on combatting the problem.
"We have taken immediate action to improve shrink and are beginning to see
improved results on recent technology investments and staffing adjustments,"
said the company's chief financial officer, Bill Wafford. He said that
"security tag implementations" have led to a "20% reduction in shrink dollars in
their respective areas."
Editor's Note: The founder had taken great pride in their shrink
numbers over the years in a number of articles. From saying they lock up all the
expensive items like jewelry and closely monitor the entrances and exits with
their door greeters checking receipts. Leaving each store manager accountable
for their own business operation. But when you have every members home address
and identification what would you expect. Other than internal theft, reduced
external theft, and probably very little ORC. It's more about store design, bulk
merchandise, and environment. As they virtually eliminate electronics theft and
grab and runs.

Bingeing vs. Changing
Well, Netflix did it again. If you haven't seen it
yet, the latest film to drop on the streaming service is
When They See
Us, a 4-part series that highlights the infamous case of the exonerated
"Central Park 5". True-crime series have always been a popular genre, but in the
recent years many of the most watched documentaries involve cases of wrongful
convictions and false confessions. Making a Murderer was one that
captivated viewers globally on this issue followed by others such as The
Confession Tapes, Innocent Man and now When They See Us. As
professionals in the investigative world, regardless of case-type, it's
important that we learn lessons from each of these examples. Truth be told, it's
easy to watch something on TV and forget the reality of what occurred. The
challenge I have for viewers of these films or docuseries is to take the 4-hour
binge session and turn it into application.

Checkers Breach Underscores Continued POS Dangers
Attackers compromised and installed point-of-sale (POS) malware on devices at
more than 100 stores in the Checkers and Rally's restaurant chain, allowing them
to collect payment-card information from customers for months - and, in some
cases, years, the company said in a statement released this week.
The attack highlights how POS devices continue to be a viable target for
cybercriminals if the merchant, hardware maker, and payment services provider
have not all adopted the Europay-Mastercard-Visa (EMV) security standard.
While EMV is an effective defense against most payment device malware, many
retailers have not upgraded to hardware that is EMV-capable, says Josh Platt,
principal threat researcher at Flashpoint.
"Businesses are not required to upgrade their POS terminals," he says.
"Unfortunately, it seems many businesses are still not EMV-compliant and will
thus continue to be more susceptible to suffering losses in these situations
until they become compliant."
Merchants are quickly adopting devices that comply with the EMV security
specification, but almost half of transactions were not protected: In 2018,
54% of card-present transactions used EMV, up from 41% the prior year,
according to EMV Co., the organization promoting and managing the specification.
POS terminals that use EMV technology encrypt and tokenize credit card
information, preventing malware on the card reader from intercepting the data.
As retailers have adopted the EMV security standard, attacks at the point of
sale have become less common.
Yet the hardware is not inexpensive, and that has slowed adoption, which puts
customers' information at risk, Flashpoint's Platt says.

8th Circ. Axes Last Of SuperValu, Albertsons Breach Suit
The Eighth Circuit on Friday dealt a final blow to multidistrict litigation over
a pair of data breaches that hit grocery stores operated by SuperValu and
Albertsons, ruling that the lone remaining plaintiff had failed to allege any
monetary loss or that SuperValu had a duty to protect his credit card
information from criminal hackers.
The new published decision marks the second time that the Eighth Circuit has
weighed in on the dispute. In the first go around, two of the three circuit
judges who signed onto Friday's decision found that the threat of future
identity theft was not enough of an injury to give standing to 15 of the 16
named plaintiffs and affirmed the toss of all the claims except the ones put
forth by David Holmes, who shopped at a SuperValu Inc.-owned store in Illinois.

How to establish your business's risk tolerance
Knowing your business risk appetite allows you to align security efforts
to the business needs, prioritizing resources and spending on those areas where
organizational leaders have the least appetite for risk.
Every organization in operation today faces a barrage of risks - from
cyberattacks aimed at stealing data to geopolitical threats that could disrupt
operations. Yet security experts say executives at many organizations don't know
which specific risks pose the greatest threats to their business's survival,
which would wound them, and which could cause mere operational hiccups.
Sure, large companies with chief risk officers and an entire risk department can
identify, classify, mitigate and monitor risks. Organizations in highly
regulated industries also tend to have highly mature risk management practices.
Most others, however, are much further down the maturity scale.
"The average company deals with risk ad hoc. It's just done by gut," said Candy
Alexander, a veteran security executive now serving as president of ISSA
International, a nonprofit international association for information security
professionals.
"Risk is something that could potentially introduce harm or a negative aspect to
the business," Alexander says. "So you should know that if something were to
happen, how much of an impact that would have on your organization. You need to
know what your risk appetite is, or where you position yourself on risk, what's
your threshold."

PPS Releases Energy Cap, Canned Beverage Theft Solution
Swansboro, NC (June 3, 2019) -
Product Protection Solutions, Inc., a leading
supplier of loss prevention technologies and solutions, has launched an
innovative new product: the Keepsafe Energy Cap. The PPS Keepsafe Energy Cap
is a unique security device designed to protect one of the most popular shrink
items on the market. By physically protecting the products and covering the top
of the cans, the Energy Cap denies contents to potential thieves. In addition,
through the device's innovative design, customer visibility and accessibility
are not obstructed. Beverage solutions can also be used with or without
Electronic Article Surveillance systems, allowing you increased flexibility.
Canned beverages consistently remain a top 10 most stolen retail item. According
to Forbes, "retailers lose 1.33% of sales to inventory shrink, costing the U.S.
retail economy $46.8B in 2017." Targeting items of lower price, thieves operate
under the guise that they aren't committing a real crime. In many cases, canned
beverages are consumed while still inside the store and empty cans are left
behind. Canned beverage shrink adds up to millions in losses for retailers.
Preventing theft of canned beverages is essential for reducing overall shrink
and keeping merchandise prices low for customers.
 "The
Keepsafe Energy Cap is a simple, but effective solution," says PPS CEO,
Christopher Cox. "We wanted to introduce a solution that is simple to apply, but
highly resistant to would-be thieves, ensuring a rapid ROI for the retailer.
It's about making product available and accessible to the consumer, while also
protecting the retailer's bottom line."
The Keepsafe Energy Cap:
-
Will protect canned beverages in 8.4, 12, or 16 ounce cans
-
Can be used with or without Electronic Article Surveillance
systems
-
Integrates easily with existing RF and AM EAS systems and
loss prevention programs
-
Prevents the container from being opened without removal of
Energy Cap or damage to product
-
Individually marked with Small, Medium or Large to simplify
installation
The PPS Keepsafe Energy Cap will be on display at
NRF Protect in Anaheim, CA, June 11-13 in booth #587.
Contact PPS, or stop by during NRF, and let PPS deliver concierge loss
prevention services to your organization. |

Antitrust regulators have put Amazon under the watch of the FTC
and Google under the Justice Department
Amazon could face heightened antitrust scrutiny under a new agreement between
U.S. regulators that puts it under closer watch by the Federal Trade Commission,
three people familiar with the matter said.
The move is the result of the FTC and the Department of Justice, the U.S.
government's leading antitrust enforcement agencies, quietly divvying up
competition oversight of two of the country's top tech companies, according to
those people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the government's
work is confidential. The Justice Department is set to have more jurisdiction
over Google, The Washington Post reported on Friday, paving the way for a
potential investigation of the search-and-advertising giant.
The FTC's plans for Amazon and the Justice Department's interest in Google are
not immediately clear. But the kind of arrangement brokered between the Justice
Department and the FTC typically presages more serious antitrust scrutiny,
the likes of which many Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill have sought
out of fear that tech companies have become too big and powerful.

Influencer Marketing Council Fights Fraud with
Best Practices List
The influencer marketing world, which has long faced issues with fraud and
inconsistency, now has some best practices to help brands distinguish between
what's real and what's not in influencer campaigns on social media.
The guidelines come from the Influencer Marketing Council, a group of brands,
marketing firms, and talent agencies.
When it launched in 2017, IMC promised to create standards for the
influencer field. This week it followed through with the release of its
Fraud Best Practices
& Guidelines [registration].
Influencer fraud is a growing problem on social media: IMC notes that around 11
percent of all engagement with influencer-sponsored posts on Instagram (the
platform of choice for much influencer marketing) is generated by fraudulent
accounts. The council's 12 best practices give brands guidance for determining
whether influencer engagement is legitimate.
The guide recommends that brands look out for fraud by watching an account's
follower patterns, abnormal engagement spikes, engagement rates, audience
location, and incorrect grammar on posts. It advises brands to "make sure you
have a conversation with influencers" in case any questions arise.

New data reveals ongoing chargeback prevention
efforts are proving effective
New data reveals ongoing chargeback prevention efforts are proving effective,
according to Midigator's "The Year in Chargebacks" report.
Key takeaways from this year's report highlight that the average
chargeback-to-transaction ratio decreased 13.3% between 2017 and 2018. Still,
fraud is a significant and increasing concern. 70 % of all disputes were
categorised as fraud, which was a 20.4% increase from 2017. As a result, false
consumer claims make it difficult to recognise the real reason for disputes. 77%
of fraud-related chargebacks were actually cases of friendly fraud.

College Station, TX: $80,000 of Jewelry recovered
from Department store burglaries
 Demond
Finister was arrested for burglary and possession of a criminal instrument by
College Station Police Thursday in connection with a joint investigation between
Texas Department of Public Safety Special Agents and the Harris County Sheriff's
Office. Investigators with the DPS' Criminal Investigations Division and HCSO
worked alongside loss prevention officers from a department store chain to catch
Finister who is suspected of recently burglarizing several department store
chains.
Finister allegedly broke into a JCPenney store in College Station Thursday night
and was pulled over on SH 6 shortly after the burglary. A search of his vehicle
led to the discovery of approximately $25,000 worth of jewelry in a backpack. A
search warrant for Finister's Houston-area motel room was obtained and
investigators recovered approximately $80,000 worth of stolen jewelry, allegedly
taken from a JCPenney department store in Hurst. In addition to the recovered
jewelry from JCPenney, several thousands of dollars' worth of jewelry from other
department store chains was also recovered in the search.

man outside clothing shop
A drunkard carrying a bottle of Heineken slashed a store security guard in the
face during a Saturday morning squabble inside an East Harlem clothing store,
according to cops and a store manager. The guard, who cops say is in his late
50s, and the much-younger man were arguing inside the Regines shop on East 116th
Street near Third Avenue around 11 a.m. when the boozer - who cops say had blond
dreadlocks - knifed him, police said.

At first your career is comprised of daily achievements and struggles all
pointing towards an annual review and hopefully an increase or a promotion that
can be celebrated at home and shared with family and friends. Mid way thru, your
career takes on a life in and of itself and the world becomes smaller with
everything shared good, bad, and even non-truths with everyone. It's at this
point that lights go on in your mind and the world appears right outside your
door waiting and watching. What use to be instant responses now become
hesitations. Decisions and actions, while influenced with experience, now become
thought out critical moves open to instant interpretations and criticisms. At
this point one must rely on your instinct and what you know to be true and right
because indecision and hesitation is what gives birth to mistakes and failure.
Every seasoned executive knows the path of failure and losing battles and they
know as well that instinct, knowledge, effort, and doing what's right will
ultimately rule the day.
"I merely won more than I lost" -- Mr. Goldwyn of MGM's, response to a writer's
question on his death bed about what made him so successful.
Just a Thought,
Gus
