The Importance of Cross-Location Criminal Intelligence in Retail Security
 Organized
retail crime (ORC) continues to be an epidemic, with serial offenders hitting
stores across a chain repeatedly. A
FaceFirst study found that across 100 big box and grocery stores, 60 percent
of documented shoplifters were detected entering at least two separate locations
of the same retail chain during a six-month period, while 20 percent visited
three or more locations. Some retailers report the same offenders striking three
to four times per day.
In response, retailers are turning toward solutions that can provide real-time
criminal intelligence across an entire chain. Visibility into when banned
individuals and documented shoplifters can radically reduce shrink and make
stores safer.

Upcoming Webinar from Gatekeeper Systems
Self-checkout in Retailing: Understanding the Risk and Managing the Problem
 As
retailers continue to invest in developing ever more 'frictionless' shopping
environments, the use of a range of self-checkout technologies is becoming ever
more conspicuous across a broader range of retail formats. While undoubtedly
offering both retailers and consumers a range of potential benefits, these
technologies have also been found to negatively impact upon retail losses. This
Webinar brings together the latest research on not only the scale and extent of
the problem of self-scan-related losses but also the emerging strategies and
approaches that may help retailers to begin to manage them more effectively.
Focussing particularly upon the role video technologies might play in
controlling self-scan losses, this Webinar will provide detailed and
thought-provoking insights into an increasingly important part of the rapidly
developing retail landscape.

Facial Recognition Ban Hits the East Coast
Somerville, Mass. Becomes 2nd U.S. City to Ban the Technology
The City Council voted to ban the use of facial recognition technology in public
spaces Thursday night. The 11-0 vote sends the ordinance to Mayor Joseph
Curtatone, who has expressed support for it. Somerville will be the second
American city, behind San Francisco, to ban facial surveillance.
Similar measures are being considered in the California cities of Oakland and
Berkeley.
The anti-facial recognition ordinance would bar any city department or agency
from using facial surveillance over concerns that the practice invades
residents' privacy and tends to be less accurate identifying people of color,
especially women and young people.
"The city is sending a bold statement that it won't sit by idly while the
dystopian technology further outpaces our civil liberties protections and harms
privacy, racial and gender justice, and freedom of speech," Kade Crockford,
director of the Technology for Liberty Program at the ACLU of Massachusetts,
said in an emailed statement. "Massachusetts must also lead the nation by
passing a statewide moratorium until there are safeguards in place.
Massachusetts voters agree: We must ensure face surveillance technology doesn't
get out ahead of our basic rights."
Facial recognition technology can aid large-scale investigations by scanning
video footage to find a person of interest. Somerville City Councilor Ben
Ewen-Campen, who introduced the bill, conceded that he sees the value of the
technology in emergencies but believes the technology has a long way to go.

When convenience meets surveillance: AI at the corner store
Some customers call the technology a 'privacy violation'
Jacksons Food Store customer Denise Diharce was surprised to learn that the
Tacoma location she frequents for odds and ends is testing a high-tech system
that, prior to entry, will compare her to images of previous crime suspects.
 Before patrons can enter the basic convenience store, a camera under a red
awning will take a picture and use artificial intelligence (AI) to decide
whether the image matches any in a database of known robbers and shoplifters at
that location.
"That's a privacy violation because you should be notified about it,"
Diharce said. "They should have a sign to notify you that they're comparing it
to photos of criminals."
Jacksons spokesperson Russ Stoddard said that when fully functional, the system
will operate from 8 p.m.-6 a.m. It's now deactivated after a test last month,
but when it's turned back on, a sign at the front of the store will notify
customers that facial recognition technology is in use.
The testing at Jacksons,
reported in the Daily on June 19, is part of a larger trend in which
retailers, as well as governments, are turning to AI cameras to combat criminal
activity and to observe people's habits for other purposes. It's a development
that has privacy advocates wondering if the anti-crime efforts outweigh the
civil liberty risks.
Big box retailers such as Target, Walmart and Lowes have also used AI cameras to
prevent criminal activity, and a recent report by research firm CB Insights
found stores are not always forthcoming about their use of the technology. AI
cameras may watch more than just shoplifters: At a Long Island Walmart, The
Associated Press reported, thousands of high-resolution cameras were recently
installed to monitor inventory on shelves and even the ripeness of fruit.

UK C-Store Becomes First to Endorse Facial Recognition System
After Seeing 25% Reduction in Losses
Family convenience store business is first to endorse the success of Facewatch
facial recognition system after a successful trial at his store at Jubilee
Square near Aylesbury by significantly reducing shoplifting and abusive
behaviour.
"We were puzzled by the extent of the shoplifting," Store owner Paul Wilks said.
"It was very targeted theft of high value items and it seemed that perhaps it
was organised by someone stealing to order. ... Within a few weeks we decided to
become the first trial site for the new facial recognition system."
In mid-2018 the Facewatch team installed a new facial recognition camera inside
the main entrance to the Jubilee Square store. The system automatically
scans the faces of customers entering the store against a list of known people
who had been previously been caught on the existing CCTV cameras shoplifting or
abusing the staff.
Since installing the facial recognition technology, Wilks says his business has
"seen a reduction in losses of over 25%."

Indiana Retail Organized Crime Coalition (IROCC)
Participates in ORC Meeting & Community Outreach
The Indiana Retail Organized Crime Coalition (IROCC) participated in multiple
events over the past week. First, the group participated in an ORC meeting
hosted by the University of Indianapolis. IROCC President Matt Thompson was one
of the speakers and his board did an ORC panel discussion. IROCC also
participated in a community event with the Indianapolis Police Department
yesterday. They gave away 10 backpacks filled with back to school supplies, 2
bicycles and built kits. Many of them have not used a hammer and nails so there
was some learning there as well.

Lowe's Selects Charlotte, N.C., for Global Tech Center to
Modernize IT Systems & Build Future Retail Experiences
 The
center will eventually be the home of up to 2,000 technology professionals.
Lowe's said the center will lead the company's technology transformation,
serving as the epicenter for the team Lowe's is hiring to help modernize its IT
systems and build future retail experiences.
"We're excited to stand up our new global technology center here in North
Carolina to continue to drive our company's growth," said Marvin Ellison,
Lowe's president and CEO. "Locating our new facility in the heart of
Charlotte, the state's largest metropolitan area, will enable Lowe's to attract
top technology talent and foster collaboration with our teams in our nearby
Mooresville headquarters.
Ellison also said that the team Lowe's puts in place will create technology
solutions that accelerate the retailer's commitment to becoming "a
best-in-class, omnichannel retailer and strengthen our associate and customer
experiences."
Lowe's said that it expects to fill the first 400 new tech positions in the
next year and plans to begin hiring for the roles immediately.

Walmart Turns to VR to Pick Middle Managers
Intended to Limit Bias, Increase Diversity & Reduce Turnover
 When
some Walmart store workers want to apply for a higher-paying management role,
the company fits them with a $250 virtual reality headset to see if they are the
right candidate for the job. The country's largest private employer is using a
VR skills assessment as part of the selection process to find new middle
managers, watching how workers respond in virtual reality to an angry
shopper, a messy aisle or an underperforming worker.
VR training is becoming more common in a variety of industries to educate a
large number of workers quickly or assess the technical ability of high-skilled
workers like electricians or pilots. But Walmart's use of the technology to
gauge a worker's strengths, weaknesses and potential is significant because it
pushes VR evaluation out to a massive hourly workforce and in some cases
helps determine who gets raises and who gets demoted.
Walmart executives hope the technology will limit bias inherent in many
traditional hiring decisions, increase diversity and reduce turnover among
its 1.5 million U.S. employees in a tight labor market.

'Retail apocalypse' continues: Thousands of retail stores will close this year
Roughly 7,000 store closures so far in 2019
There have been more announced store closings in the first half of the year
than closings in all of 2018, according to
Coresight Research which tracks news about store closures, openings and
bankruptcies. U.S. retailers have announced 6,986 store closures and 2,985
store openings as of June 21 which compares to 5,864 closures and 3,251
openings for the full year of 2018, according to Coresight.
 Companies like Gymboree, Dressbarn and Lifeway Christian Resources will
close or have closed all stores. Payless closed all of its stores in
North America. Charlotte Russe closed all of its stores. Although its new
owner is planning to reopen about 100 stores. Hundreds of Things Remembered
stores also closed, although a new owner will keep open 176 stores. And large
retailers like Kmart, Sears, J.C. Penney and Macy's continue to close
stores each year.
The "retail apocalypse" has been going on for several years and unfortunately it
won't stop in 2019 as thousands of stores are expected to close.

Retailers hope for end of trade war after Trump-Xi G-20 meeting
The National Retail Federation today expressed hope that progress made during
talks between President Trump and China's President Xi Jinping at the G-20
summit in Japan will lead to the end of the two countries' trade war.
"We welcome the progress made during this meeting and hope it will result in a
constructive approach to working with China to deliver significant reforms
rather than one that punishes American consumers and threatens U.S. jobs through
tariffs," NRF Senior Vice President for Government Relations David French.
NRF testified at a hearing held last week by the Office of the U.S. Trade
Representative,
asking the administration to reevaluate its strategy for dealing with China.
A new
report prepared for NRF found the proposed new round of tariffs would cost
Americans $4.4 billion each year for apparel, $3.7 billion for toys, $2.5
billion for footwear and $1.6 billion for household appliances.

9th Circ. Says Rent-A-Center Can't Arbitrate Price-Gouge Suit
The Ninth Circuit declined Friday to revive Rent-A-Center Inc.'s arbitration bid
in a putative class action claiming its prices were higher than California law
allowed, finding that the rent-to-own company's arbitration agreement waived the
right to seek public injunctive relief and is therefore unenforceable.
In a unanimous, published decision penned by U.S. Circuit Judge William A.
Fletcher, the panel found the district court was correct to rule that part of
the arbitration agreement is invalid under the California Supreme Court's 2017
decision in a case known as McGill v. Citibank NA.

Toys R Us workers win $2-million settlement on severance
A group of Toys R Us workers who lost their jobs as the company went bankrupt
will get some of the estate's remaining cash to make up for severance pay that
they were denied during the court case, according to representatives for the
group. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Keith L. Phillips of the Eastern District of
Virginia awarded $2 million to the workers, who were promised severance at the
outset of the bankruptcy as part of a benefits plan that was later canceled as
the restructuring unraveled.

Winging It
One of the most enjoyable moments as instructors
at WZ is when we hear from investigators who would like to discuss a case and
strategize the conversation before it takes place. In my experience, most of
these requests come from recent attendees of the WZ program who are attempting
to apply their newly acquired skillset. This is not out of the ordinary, as the
newest interviewers have yet to encounter the unexpected and are anxious in
their anticipation of how the conversation will develop. The investigators that
have been conducting interviews for years, or decades, tend to remember these
first few interactions they had; where the level of anxiety seemed to disrupt
the whole week leading up to an interview. While many tenured investigators have
gained experience, unfortunately some have lost this sense of awareness related
to the weight of the interview and the need to prepare accordingly.

Retailers 'Worst Ranked Industry' in Defending Against Cyber Attacks
The Human Factor and Its Role in Cybersecurity Breaches
Research by cybersecurity firm SecurityScorecard found retail is the
worst ranked industry when it comes to defending against social engineering
attacks, which involve hackers tricking employees into divulging sensitive
information through practices such as vishing or phishing. The very nature of
the retail industry makes it a soft target for organised crime gangs.
Julian Burnett, VP of global markets at IBM's distribution sector, says the
attack surface of the retail industry is particularly large because of the
people-heavy nature of it.
"There are lots of staff interacting with many customers, exchanging lots of
money, and using lots of tech to achieve it, which means you have got a heady
cocktail of risk," says Burnett, a former CIO at House of Fraser and CTO at John
Lewis and Sainsbury's.
Social media engineering
Sensitive data is left all over social media, says Burnett. "We see a
particularly significant proportion of younger people in the workforce being
largely ignorant to the risks they are taking because they have grown up feeling
much more trusting and safe in digital contexts."
 Internal threats
Recent research from cybersecurity firm Deep Secure has found that a
surprisingly large number of employees would be willing to sell off their
company's information. Just £1,000 would be enough to tempt 25% of employees to
give away company information, according to the research.
An education
"Awareness and education go an awfully long way to improving any organisation's
stance in the face of cyber crime," says Burnett. The retail industry is such
low hanging fruit for organised crime that it is likely cyber attacks will only
rise further and become ever more sophisticated. Retailers would be wise to do
all in their power to ensure they cut out the basic human errors that are
opening the door to cyber attacks.

Retail Banks Hit Hardest By Surging Numbers of
Cyber-Incidents
Financial services companies in the UK were hit by 819 cyber-incidents,
which were reported to the Financial Conduct Authority in 2018. According to a
freedom of information (FOI) request made by accountancy firm
RSM, the data showed that
there had been a huge rise from the previous year, with 69 reported in 2017.
Retail banks were hit the hardest and had the highest number of reports
(486), which is almost 60% of the total. This was followed by wholesale
financial markets on 115 reports and retail investment firms on 53.
The majority of reports found that the root causes of the incidents were
attributed to third-party failure (21%). Hardware and software issues followed
(19%) and change management (18%). The information also shows that there were
93 cyber-attacks in 2018 reported to the FCA, with over half of them
identified as phishing attacks, and 20% ransomware.

Facebook again fails to block DC attorney
general's lawsuit
Washington, DC, Attorney General Karl Racine has said his
court case against Facebook for last year's Cambridge Analytica data breach
will go ahead. Facebook's second attempt to block the lawsuit has now
failed, Racine tweeted Friday.
The DC attorney general sued Facebook in December, alleging that the company
failed to safeguard the personal data of its users. Facebook's "lax oversight
and misleading privacy settings" allowed Cambridge Analytica to access the
personal information of up to 87 million Facebook users, the lawsuit said. The
scandal saw CEO Mark Zuckerberg
testify to Congress on Facebook's data privacy policies.

Trump official says eased Huawei restrictions
only apply to widely available products
President Donald Trump reportedly
agreed Saturday to ease restrictions on companies selling equipment to
Chinese telecom giant Huawei, but a White House official made it clear that it's
not "a general amnesty." They'll only be able to sell widely available products
to the
embattled Chinese phonemaker, National Economic Council chairman Larry
Kudlow said on
Fox News Sunday.
That happened in the wake of Trump signing an executive order
essentially banning Huawei due to national security fears that the
company is too cozy with the Chinese government and that its gear could be
used to spy on other countries and companies. Huawei has
repeatedly denied this.

Q&A with eBay: How it's building B2B ecommerce
To get an in-depth look at how eBay is involved with helping buyers and sellers
engage in B2B ecommerce, B2BecNews interviewed Marni Levine, vice president of
merchandising. Levine oversees eBay's B2B business as well as its Electronics,
Automotive Parts & Accessories, Home & Garden, and Business & Industrial
categories. She drives strategic partnerships and strategy as they relate to
procuring inventory to be sold on the eBay ecommerce platform.
Before joining eBay in 2017, Levine worked for major retail brands including
Macy's, Gap and Zulily. Overall, she has more than 25 years of experience in
merchandising, planning, ecommerce, business development and strategy.
Q: How important is B2B ecommerce to eBay, and why?
Levine: In 2018, e-commerce B2B sales totaled $1.1 trillion in the U.S. and
are forecasted to reach $1.8 trillion by 2023, according to Forrester
Analytics. Business buyers are looking for better value and price transparency,
are purchasing more frequently, and are spending more annually in comparison to
general consumers. This makes them an important customer segment for eBay.
Regardless of their industry or need, buyers can turn to eBay's marketplace to
find a huge selection of electronics, equipment, tools and business supplies at
an affordable price.

Minimizing Online Returns the Intelligent Way
With
87 percent of shoppers beginning their customer journey in digital channels,
brick-and-mortar retailers need to invest in optimizing their e-commerce
strategy. For most brands, online shopping presents new challenges, including
ever-growing return rates. With customers unable to try on an item when they
purchase online, shoppers order multiple of the same item with the idea of
returning the sizes that don't fit. While a flexible return policy is beneficial
for customers, retailers can face decreased margins and lower return on
investment. While the focus is always on ensuring the customer is happy,
retailers must account for inventory control, cost of shipping and unwanted
items.
That's where customer intelligence (CI) comes in. Through the power of CI,
retailers can leverage their first-party data to ensure they're properly
providing customers with accurate and relevant product recommendations to
minimize returns. CI helps retailers better understand their customers' buying
habits and preferences, and personalize their offerings based on shopper
behaviors. Providing a better customer experience means happier and more loyal
customers, which in turn leads to increased revenue and profit for retailers.

Suspects indicted in 5 state Cell Phone Heists
1,400 phones stolen
 Two
Kansas City, MO men have been indicted by a Federal Grand jury in connection
with a conspiracy to steal more than 1,400 cell phones from dozens of commercial
businesses in the Midwest. Viktor Chernetskiy, 29, a naturalized citizen from
the Ukraine, and Bryan C. Kirkendoll, 29, were charged in a five-state
indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Kansas City Wednesday.

'Code Red' Issued for Jewelry Stores as More
Burglars Cut Power Lines
JSA has identified 50 such cases
The Jewelers' Security Alliance issued a "code red" amid a string of
jewelry-store burglaries in which the culprits cut power lines. The
organization said it has identified 50 cases of such burglaries at U.S. jewelry
stores in 2019. Among recent cases:
Scottsdale, AZ, police received information from the Santa Barbara, CA, police
that a crew of suspected Chilean jewelry burglars was in the Scottsville area.
Scottsdale police located the individuals and followed them to two jewelry
stores. Police say the suspects cut power at the stores. The next night, police
observed a person on the roof of a jewelry store that had its power cut. The
store was found ransacked the next day. Police arrested the three suspects at a

Coney Island, NY: Butterfingered
robber enters Dunkin' Donuts,
drops gun in front of NYPD Officers
Security footage obtained by The Post on Sunday shows a man
stumbling into a Coney Island Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins and
dropping a gun - right in front of a trio of NYPD officers who just
happened to be in the fast food restaurant. The bumbling perp,
identified by sources as 34-year-old Emmanuel Lovett, seems to be
adjusting his pants as he strolls into the donut shop on Saturday at
around 11:30 p.m. - and doesn't appear to notice the loaded weapon
falling to the ground. A pair of cops can be seen rushing toward the
unlucky ex-con and putting him in handcuffs, while the third picks
up the gun.

The difference between success and failure is in the planning and the execution.
Taking something from a thought or idea to a reality can be a long and painful
process lined with failures and detractors. But a great idea is only as good as
the plan you have to bring it to life and the execution everyone delivers to
give it a life. Because without the two the great idea never existed. As one "C"
level executive once told me- He never saw a bad great idea as it was always the
failed plan to roll it out and the poor execution that killed it.
Just a Thought,
Gus
