The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


Retail Panic Button Legislation in New York
The Retail Worker Safety Act would require Walmart, Target and other major retailers with more than 500 employees nationwide to install panic buttons in their stores

New York retail crime 'panic button' plan faces pushback

Most opponents cite concerns that the costly security upgrades will be ineffective in stopping violence and theft.

Major retailers and law enforcement officials are urging Gov. Kathy Hochul to veto a plan that would require large New York stores to install "panic" buttons to alert police about retail crime.

The Retail Worker Safety Act, passed by the Democratic-controlled state Legislature earlier this month, would require Walmart, Target and other major retailers with more than 500 employees nationwide to install panic buttons in their stores or provide employees with mobile-phone-activated or wearable alert systems.

Lawmakers who approved the proposal said it comes in response to rising threats to store clerks and other retail workers from thefts and violence.

But retail industry lobbyists, including the National Retail Federation and the Food Industry Alliance of New York State, are pushing back against the proposed rule and calling on Hochul to veto the proposal. Most cite concerns that the costly security upgrades will be ineffective in stopping violence and theft.

"The costly mandates proposed in the bill - including the installation of panic buttons - will do little, if anything, to address recidivists entering stores with the intent to engage in illegal activity such as shoplifting and assault," the groups wrote in a recent letter to legislative leaders.

Dan Bartlett, Walmart's executive vice president of corporate affairs, told Reuters that the company opposes the panic button because it believes it would create too many false alarms.

The Retail Worker Safety Act is being pushed by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, representing more than 100,000 workers, which argues it will help protect retail workers from workplace violence. The group has poured money into a campaign to promote the changes and to urge state leaders to approve them.

The bill, if signed by Hochul, would go into effect 180 days after it becomes law, but the panic button requirement wouldn't go into effect until Jan. 1, 2027 justthenews.com


Fighting Shoplifting & Retail Crime Across the Pond
UK: Threat of organised retail crime highlighted at pre-election seminar

A pre-general election Westminster Legal Policy Forum keynote seminar took place this month entitled 'Next steps for tackling shoplifting and retail crime in England and Wales'.

The online event saw speakers and panellists, representing police forces, retail bodies and independent retailers, discussing the key retail crime issues. South London store owner Benedict Selvaratnam spoke during the 'Implementation best practice' session about the "multifaceted challenges" he faces.

On the impact of the crime increase, he said: "Our staff frequently encounter abusive customers and theft. And this impacts our bottom line, but also it creates a hostile and unsafe work environment." "We're a small independent retailer, and we don't have a big head office to offset costs to. So, we confront shoplifters, and we try and retrieve stolen goods.

We are at the front line. And the concerning trend is the rise in organised crime.

"We are almost resigned to the fact that we may not get a police response, in most instances. And when we are in a live situation, when we're trying to confront shoplifters, and we're small teams, we can't lose half an hour on the phone trying to arrange a police response that may or may not come.

"So, we generally don't call the police. We try and deal with what we can in house. I think that's with all regions up and down the country.

"This under reporting is often due to lack of confidence in the justice system and the perceived fragility of reporting incidences. So, I think we definitely need a system that encourages and supports retailers to report crimes and ensuring that justice is served. talkingretail.com


In Four Years, We've Gone from Mask Mandates to Mask Criminalization
Crime concerns have turned the mask debate upside down in just four years

After years of fights over mask mandates, why do some states now want to ban face coverings?
mericans can't seem to stop fighting about masks. After years of intense debate over mask mandates, the argument has now flipped entirely to become about whether certain face coverings should be banned.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said last week that she is considering banning face masks on New York City subways over concerns that the coverings obscure the identities of people committing antisemitic acts. New York City Mayor Eric Adams supports the idea, arguing that "cowards cover their faces."

"We will not tolerate individuals using masks to evade responsibility for criminal or threatening behavior," Hochul said.

Hochul said there's no timeline on when a mask ban might go into effect in New York, but some other states have already taken action against face coverings. In North Carolina, where a law banning face coverings has been on the books since 1953, the state Legislature recently passed a bill that would increase penalties for anyone who commits a crime while wearing a mask. The Ohio attorney general warned protesters last month that they could face felony charges for obscuring their faces under a law that was passed in the state more than 70 years ago to deter the Ku Klux Klan. Texas and Florida have also relied on decades-old anti-masking statutes in their responses to pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

The emerging push against masks isn't solely targeted at protesters. Philadelphia banned ski masks within city limits late last year in hopes of reducing crime. A new law in Washington D.C., recently made it illegal for someone to cover their face with the intent of obscuring their identity while committing a crime. yahoo.com


PDs Invest in LPRs to Fight Crime
Police using Flock cameras to put the brakes on crime

Local police departments banking on technology to stop and solve crimes

A camera never blinks, and that's proving to be beneficial for some police departments in solving and stopping crime. "It's really like an extra set of eyes," said Captain Robert Valley with the Mentor Police Department.

More than 400 Ohio law enforcement agencies, including Mentor and Rocky River, have invested in the Flock Safety System. The cameras have license plate reading technology that can identify cars connected to missing people, stolen vehicles or those wanted in connection to criminal activity.

Across town in Rocky River, Police Chief George Lichman said the new technology has been helpful. He said it's changed the way the department deals with stolen vehicles. news5cleveland.com

Retailer 'Caper Carts'
Price Chopper/McKeever's rolls out smart carts
Price Chopper and McKeever's Market & Eatery is bringing artificial intelligence to its in-store shopping experience.

The regional grocery retailer is deploying Instacart Caper Carts, which use computer vision and AI to automatically identify items as they are placed in the cart in select Missouri stores, starting at Price Chopper in Parkville and McKeever's Market & Eatery in Lee's Summit.

This initial rollout will be followed by a broader implementation in the coming months. Caper Carts feature an interactive screen to engage customers, track spending, provide direct access to coupons and deals through a loyalty program, and enable shoppers to check out from wherever they are in the store.

Caper Carts also have features such as personalized recommendations as customers shop and gamification elements that reward consumers once a spending threshold is achieved.

"Customers are increasingly choosing stores equipped with our Caper Carts, where they typically spend about 30 minutes shopping with the cart per visit. And now, we're expecting similar enthusiasm at both McKeever's Market & Eatery and Price Chopper," said David McIntosh, VP and GM of connected stores at Instacart.

"Caper Carts can enhance the shopping experience through personalized interactions, such as loyalty discounts," said McIntosh. "They integrate smoothly into existing store operations and unlock incremental revenue streams for stores. We're excited about our growing partnership with these stores and the potential it holds." chainstoreage.com


Have Consumers Reached Breaking Point?
Americans are mad about inflation. McDonald's just admitted they were right.

After years of squeezing customers' wallets, corporations are realizing that customers have reached a breaking point.

The inflation rate in the U.S. is slowing. In May, prices were up 3.3% from a year earlier, down from 4% from May 2022 to May 2023 and a steep drop from the 8.6% jump from May 2021 to May 2022. But many people still tell pollsters the cost of living is much too high.

After years of squeezing Americans' wallets - the average price of McDonald's menu items increased roughly 40% from 2019 to 2024 - flagging sales made the company realize its customers had reached a breaking point. Other companies are recognizing this, as well. Both Walmart and Target announced they would drop prices on thousands of items, from eggs to diapers. Even Starbucks - which rarely offers promotional deals - began promoting discounts designed to drive traffic via email and its app.

Corporate America, to be clear, didn't start the Covid-era wave of inflation. Blame for that can mostly be assigned to the sudden nature of the lockdown, which led to long-lasting supply chain snafus around the globe at the same time shoppers, suddenly trapped at home, had little to do but shop till they dropped online.

But it's also true many companies eagerly took advantage of the inflationary situation on the ground to push through long-desired price increases and fatten their bottom lines. msnbc.com


Walmart suddenly closing more stores in 2024

The retailer has already closed nearly one dozen locations this year alone.

It would seem that no retailer - big or small, upscale or budget friendly - is safe from challenges in 2024. And Walmart comes as no exception. The retailer has already closed 11 stores across the United States in 2024 due to a variety of issues, including underperformance. It also made the decision to close its 51 health clinic locations and sunset its entire health division.

And now, the budget store is closing additional locations in Georgia and Colorado. According to layoff notices distributed in the two states, a total of 528 employees are to be laid off in June. thestreet.com

72K Levi's Customers Impacted by Credential-Stuffing Attack
Cyberattack compromises 72,000 Levi's customer accounts
Levi Strauss & Co is requiring customers to reset their passwords after experiencing an intrusion into its systems from hackers.

According to a notice published by the Maine Attorney General 's office, on Thursday, June 13. 2024, the denim giant discovered a data breach which had occurred that same day. The cyberattack exposed names and other personal information of 72,231 customers, including 75 Maine residents (which necessitated the San Francisco-based company to contact the Maine attorney general).

In an electronic letter to affected customers, Levi's said it recently issued a forced password reset after detecting suspicious activity on its website.

"Bad actors have attempted to log into some accounts using email and password combinations obtained elsewhere," Levis said in the notice. "If you re-use your passwords across websites, it is possible they were able to log into your account."

Levi's said the hackers would have been able to view personal customer information such as order history, name, email, stored addresses, and partial information on any saved payment method including the last four digits of the card number, card type and expiration date.

"It does not appear that any fraudulent purchases were initiated using your information," the company said in the letter. "Our systems do not allow saved payment methods to be used for purchases without a secondary means of authentication."

Levi's believes the breach is the result of a "credential stuffing" attack where hackers obtain login information from another source and then use bots to test credentials on other sites, as people often share passwords across accounts. The company said it is not the source of the initial compromise of passwords. chainstoreage.com


AI: Cybersecurity's Biggest Challenge
Is the cybersecurity industry ready for AI?

As cybersecurity teams focus on how to thwart threat actors, they are missing the risks around the data they are sharing willingly.

AI isn't new to cybersecurity - most automated security tools rely on AI and ML in some capacity - but generative AI has everyone talking and worried. If cybersecurity professionals have yet to address the security implications around generative AI, they are already behind.

"The train has already left the station," said Patrick Harr, CEO of SlashNext, in a conversation at RSA Conference 2024 in San Francisco.

AI-generated threats have already impacted three-quarters of organizations, yet 60% admitted they aren't prepared to handle AI-based attacks, according to a study conducted by Darktrace.

AI-powered cyberattacks are revealing the gaps in the cybersecurity talent availability. Organizations are already concerned about the skills gap, especially in areas like cloud computing, zero trust implementation, and AI/ML capabilities.

With the growing threat AI poses, cybersecurity teams no longer have the luxury of waiting a few years to fill those talent gaps, Clar Rosso, CEO with ISC2 told an RSAC audience.

Right now, 41% of cybersecurity professionals have little to no experience in securing AI and 21% said they don't know enough about AI to mitigate concerns, according to ISC2 research.

It's no wonder, then, that these same professionals said that by 2025, AI will be the industry's biggest challenge cybersecuritydive.com

Amazon's AI Code Name 'Metis'
Amazon is secretly working on a ChatGPT killer

Amazon is working on a new AI service to compete with ChatGPT.

Amazon is working on an AI chatbot to compete directly with OpenAI's ChatGPT, Business Insider has learned.

The secret internal project is code-named "Metis," likely in reference to the Greek goddess of wisdom. The new service is designed to be accessed from a web browser, similar to how other AI assistants work, according to people familiar with the project and an internal document obtained by BI.

Metis is powered by an internal Amazon AI model called Olympus, another name inspired by Greek mythology. This is a more powerful version of the company's publicly available Titan model, the people familiar said.

At the most basic level, Metis gives text- and image-based answers in a smart, conversational manner, according to the internal document. It's also able to share links to the source of its responses, suggest follow-up queries, and generate images.

Amazon wants Metis to use an artificial-intelligence technique called retrieval-augmented generation, the people said. This means Metis will be able to retrieve information from beyond the original data used to train its underlying Olympus model. The goal is to generate more up-to-date responses. businessinsider.com


Survey: Use of online coupon codes surges among affluent Americans
More than half (54%) of all U.S. online shoppers say they have increased their usage of coupon codes during the past year, with the leading reason being economic factors, the desire to save money and personal circumstances such as changes in employment status, income and family size.

That's according to social savings and promo codes platform Simply Codes's "2024 Coupon Codes Sentiment Study," which found that 64% of Americans actively seek and use promotional, discount or coupon codes for online purchases.

Lafayette, LA: Three females from Port Arthur and one from Beaumont are jailed in Louisiana for what law enforcement is calling a theft ring
The females reportedly stole and attempted to steal fire-resistant clothing from three Academy Sports and Outdoors stores in Louisiana. At approximately 2:28 p.m. June 15 a loss prevention person at the Academy in the 300 block of Louisiana Avenue in Lafayette allegedly saw the four individuals concealing items and when she approached the women, she asked if they needed assistance, Lafayette Police Sergeant Robin Green said.

Shootings & Deaths


Mesquite, TX: Waco man accused of killing two Dallas-area store clerks in separate robberies

Davonta Mathis, 21, is charged with capital murder, murder, and evading arrest in the shooting deaths of 60-year-old Muhammad Hussain of Carrollton and 32-year-old Gopi Krishna Dasari.

When authorities arrived at the convenience store, they found Hussain suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the parking lot. After being rushed to a local hospital, the 60-year-old victim ultimately died from his injuries. An arrest affidavit obtained by NBC 5 stated that on June 22, two days after the first shooting, Mathis went to Fox Gas Station in the on Lake June Road in Dallas' Pleasant Grove area around 12:30 a.m. and threatened Dasari with a pistol. Dallas police said Mathis shot at Dasari multiple times, hitting him in different places, including his head. Police said in the affidavit Mathis then stole several Black and Mild cigarillos and tried unsuccessfully to break into the cash register. Once police officers and paramedics arrived at the gas station, Dasari was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. After more than 18 hours in the ICU, Dasari died from his injuries.  nbcdfw.com

Looking at one's career should be viewed as a long-term investment tool that maximizes the individual's return on their efforts. Similar to any other investment strategy, a career is the building blocks for retirement. However, as most studies show, job satisfaction and recognition is as important and in some studies more important than monetary rewards. So how one reaches a balance is the key and making sure you challenge yourself about them periodically is wise.
