Auror recently shared an interview with its new Regional Director for the United Kingdom, Mark Gleeson.

Check out the excerpt below, and visit Auror's website to read the full conversation.

What excites you about Retail Crime Intelligence for the UK market?

I'm extremely excited to leverage Auror's experience with both retailers and law enforcement globally, and adapt that to the UK market. You only need to look at today's UK papers to see that Organised Retail Crime and aggression is on the rise. With a market-leading platform, I'm excited to partner with retailers and police to tackle those challenges head on. We've got case study upon case study of Auror genuinely helping the lives of frontline retail staff, making it easier to report crimes and critically, making them safer in their roles. From my previous experience, I understand the power of building a credible intelligence network in order to make informed decisions in harmful environments. If you can stop these actions happening at source, using data and analytics, then it's powerful and extremely motivating for all involved. It takes a network to defeat a network.

Can you summarize your career journey before Auror?

I've got a real blend of military and commercial experience. I spent my former years as an RAF Regiment officer, specialising in advising foreign militaries, security forces, and government department. This included operations in Afghanistan and West Africa, commanding various team structures, often working with police and intelligence specialists. My commercial experience has been focused around consulting to large multinationals, whether that be conducting major transformation programmes, advising on post M&A Integration & Separation projects, or as the Chief of Staff to the NHS CEO on Project Nightingale. We built a hospital from scratch in nine days; it was quite the challenge! Most recently I've been working for a technology company as the Global Partnership Director.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


Regional AP Leader's Murder Case
Man stabbed teen in the back, slit her throat before dumping body in Flowery Branch, detective says
A Duluth man stabbed a 19-year-old Atlanta woman in the back and drove around in a panic before dumping her body in a wooded area of Flowery Branch, according to testimony Friday, Aug. 19, in Gwinnett County Magistrate Court.

Timothy Krueger Sr., 49, appeared in court with defense attorney Scott Drake for charges of felony murder and aggravated assault in the June 16 death of Sarai Llanos Gomez. Gomez's body was found June 20 in a wooded area of Paradise Point Road in Flowery Branch after a homeowner smelled a strong odor in the neighborhood.

Gwinnett County Police Cpl. John Jorstad said Gomez was a female escort, who used a separate number advertising her services. With phone records, Jorstad said they were able to determine that Krueger's number communicated with Gomez's number more than 70 times between June 10 and June 16.

When interviewed by police after his Aug. 4 arrest, Krueger said he did not know Gomez's name and was expecting a different woman to show up at his house that night. Krueger told police he thought the woman he was communicating with and Gomez "were trying to play some kind of trick on him," Jorstad testified.

Jorstad said there was a language barrier between them during a disagreement, as Krueger thought he was being swindled. At one point, Gomez became fearful and grabbed a kitchen knife from the knife block, Jorstad said.

"He said he just remembered kind of tussling with her, grabbing the knife from her and then she turned to walk away, at which point he stabbed her in the back," Jorstad said. Gomez fell to the ground, and Krueger "stated he just wanted it to be over, so he stabbed her a few more times and then he cut her throat," Jorstad said.

"When my client was talking about the stabbing, did he indicate that he was acting in self defense?" Drake asked "It did not seem that he was acting in self defense," Jorstad said. "He said that she had turned her back to him and was walking away." gainesvilletimes.com

Kentucky Debates Whether to Enact INFORM Act to Battle ORC
Judiciary committee hears testimony on law to combat organized retail crime
The Interim Joint Committee on Judiciary heard testimony on Thursday about a potential law to address the threat of organized retail crime.

Shannon Stiglitz, the senior vice president of government affairs for the Kentucky Retail Federation, was joined by representatives from Walgreens and Kroger to share the effect of organized retail crime in Kentucky.

The FBI defines organized retail crime as "professional burglars, boosters, cons, thieves, fences and resellers conspiring to steal and sell retail merchandise obtained from retail establishments by theft or deception." Much of the stolen merchandise ends up on online marketplaces.

Stiglitz emphasized that organized retail crime refers to organized groups of people, not an individual shoplifter who will steal only the things they want or need. She also noted that some of these groups are violent toward anyone who interferes with them as they steal.

Stiglitz encouraged lawmakers to consider enacting the Integrity, Notification and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for Consumers, or the INFORM Act. It would require online marketplaces to collect certain information from high-volume, third-party sellers to verify that the products are legal. Eleven states already have the INFORM Act in place.

"What you all are presenting to us, it's not going to get any better until we change our philosophy," Sen. Danny Carroll, R-Benton said. "Until we go back to treating criminals as criminals and holding them accountable for what they do, it's not going to get any better."

Stiglitz did mention laws Kentucky already has to combat organized retail crime during her presentation. KRS 506.120 makes organized retail crime a class C felony. She said some prosecutors and law enforcement officers are not aware of this law and how to use it, so education is an important factor in addressing the issue. richmondregister.com

U.S. Mass Killing Data
Mass killings database reveals trends & details in every US event since 2006

High profile public shootings in the US are only a portion of the country's mass killings AP, USA TODAY and Northeastern University analysis shows.

The horror and tragedy of mass shootings in American schools, churches, grocery stores and other public places capture the nation's attention. But these are only part of the larger violence of mass killings - deaths by guns, knives, fires, vehicles and other weapons in public and in private - that plague the U.S., research shows.

Over the past decade, USA TODAY, along with Northeastern University and The Associated Press, has been tracking all mass killings in the United States. When it comes to gun violence, our database is narrower than other tracking sites, such as the Gun Violence Archive, that include shootings that injure large numbers of people but kill no one. However, our data is broader in other ways. It includes every mass killing since 2006 from all weapons in which four or more people, excluding the offender, were killed within a 24-hour time frame.

The number of mass killings in 2022 is about average compared with previous years despite recent shootings that captured public attention. The number of victims is somewhat higher than average but still below previous highs.

Cases in which someone shoots strangers in a public place usually get the most attention. But fatal public shootings are a small fraction of all mass killings. There has been a spike in these types of killings over the past few years, but the rate of occurrence has remained relatively flat since the mid-2000s. usatoday.com


Have You Updated Workplace Violence Prevention Plans?
3 ways to update a workplace violence prevention plan

A decade-old plan won't cut it anymore, according to one expert. Employers must address changes brought about by COVID-19 and advancing technology.

Recent reports of workplace violence - coupled with an increase in certain violent crimes, generally - mean it's time for employers to update their workplace violence prevention and mitigation plans, according to one expert.

The last few years have brought a jump in homicides, Daniel R. Pascale, executive vice president at Margolis Healy and Associates, pointed out in an August 3 webinar. And sadly, he said, "we're going to see that spill into the workplace."

Update protocols affected by technology

Technology has evolved such that employers cannot rely on workplace safety plans drafted 10 years ago, Pascale said. Company plans often called for reliance on tools like pay phones or worksite landlines, for example. Employers must go through their facilities, he said, and rewrite policies with today's tech landscape in mind. Similarly, cybersecurity protocols should be updated, he said.

Add hybrid work risks

The increase in remote and hybrid work driven by the coronavirus pandemic also necessitates a shift in how employers think about workplace safety, Pascale said. Some employees are on video calls with co-workers or clients all day, with the contents of their home on full display. Some have work-related packages arriving to and shipping from their homes daily, meaning a range of couriers know where they work and that they're shipping legal documents or IT hardware.

Conduct de-escationation and active assailant training

Finally, employees should know how to "lower the temperature" in situations that could escalate into violence, Pascale said. Employers cannot expect that workers will know how to handle an employee or co-worker who is screaming, for example; they need training on when and how to create distance between people, when to reach out for help and ways to ensure they remain physically safe, Pascale said. This is particularly important for the healthcare and retail industries, he added. The same goes for active assailant training, Pascale said. Such efforts empower employees, teaching them what action is best for them. hrdive.com

'Most Sweeping Law to Seal Criminal Records'
California advances broadest US law sealing criminal records
California would have what proponents call the nation's most sweeping law to seal criminal records if Gov. Gavin Newsom signs legislation sent to him Thursday by state legislators.

The bill would automatically seal conviction and arrest records for most ex-offenders who are not convicted of another felony for four years after completing their sentences and any parole or probation. Records of arrests that don't bring convictions also would be sealed.

It would take effect in July, and excludes those convicted of serious and violent felonies, and felonies requiring sex offender registration.

Proponents say about 8 million Californians have a criminal or arrest record, or about one of every five state residents. A criminal record can trigger nearly 5,000 legal restrictions in California, many of which can limit job opportunities as well as the ability to get housing and educational opportunities, supporters said.

They estimate that 70 million people nationwide face nearly 50,000 legal restrictions based on a criminal or arrest record.

Nationwide, 37 states and more than 150 cities have adopted laws preventing employers from asking candidates about their criminal histories prior to a job offer, according to the National Employment Law Project. This law would go further by automatically sealing convictions for people who meet certain conditions. mercurynews.com

Did COVID-Era Mask Mandates Fuel Robbery Wave?
California store bans masks after thieves use them to avoid identification

The California store owner said customers who still want to wear a mask can schedule an appointment

One store in Beverly Hills, California is banning visitors from wearing masks, citing the recent wave of robberies in which employees have been unable to identify thieves because their faces were covered.

The owner of the boutique clothing store, Kitson, said he has noticed a "disturbing" trend of people using masks to avoid detection, according to FOX 11.

"The mask mandate may have begun as a health precaution but we believe it is now being used by some people for nefarious purposes. To that end, we enacted our own mandate of sorts," Fraser Ross said. "We do not allow the wearing of masks in the store during regular business hours. Those people who wish to wear masks are free to set up an appointment for a personal shopping experience or visit our website."

A sales associate at the store also said that the recent crime wave at the store has stopped some people from shopping there.

Many businesses around the country have implemented mask recommendations or mask requirements for customers in an attempt to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Hemenway also said that in recent robberies, even their high-end cameras haven't been able to identify the suspects due to one issue: Masks.

According to the sales associate, other stores within the area are also seeing robberies, forcing some stores to shut down. foxbusiness.com

AT&T Employees Start Petition to Keep Remote Work Permanent
AT&T employees 'forced' back to the office started a Change.org petition to make remote work permanent
Like most people, AT&T workers would rather work from home than in person.

Through their union, Communications Workers of America (CWA), they struck a deal with the telecom giant a few weeks ago to extend their remote policy through March 2023. But, they say, AT&T is forcing many of them to return sooner than that-some workers are already back.

"The extension agreement allows us to go back to working from home in a crisis-but we know of call centers and payroll departments that have had outbreaks, and they are not going back to working from home there," Kieran Knutson, an AT&T call center worker of 18 years, tells Fortune. fortune.com

How China's strict Covid policies led to supply chain bottlenecks
At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, China's strict "zero-Covid" policies managed to keep Covid-19 at bay. More than two years later, the country's ongoing controls are still weighing down its economy and stalling global supply chains.

Major trade hubs such as Shanghai and Beijing, after responding to waves of omicron-driven infections, require workers to have negative Covid tests to enter public spaces. The demanding quarantine and testing rules have thwarted truckers on roads as well, driving up the amount of time it takes for goods to get to Chinese ports for export.

That's not to mention the poor weather, labor challenges and abnormal demand patterns that have also added to supply chain disruptions. cnbc.com

Grocery Stores Fueling a Shopping Mall Revival
Can Grocery Stores Save the American Mall?

Under siege even before the pandemic struck, the suburban shopping meccas may have hit upon a survival strategy.

With pandemic precautions falling by the wayside and brick-and-mortar shopping eyeing a revival, it's looking like there may be a strategy for the old standby to survive amid the hordes of Amazon delivery vans. Grocery stores.

When the Westfield Oakridge mall in San Jose, California opened the popular Asian grocery store chain 99 Ranch Market in March, its debut saw lines snaking out the door. Since then, the mall's foot traffic has jumped, with customer visits up more than 10% in July compared to pre-pandemic levels, according to traffic analytics firm Placer.ai.

In addition to grocery store staples like produce and meat, the supermarket has also attracted shoppers with its dining hall and tea bar. What's surprising is 99 Ranch took up residence in one of the mall's anchor spots, which had typically gone to massive chains like Target Corp. or Macy's Inc. It's the supermarket's first location inside a megamall.

Grocery stores have been a growing US consumer segment over the last few years. Except for so-called value outlets and "dollar" stores, grocers have had the most store openings, outpacing home improvement, electronics and superstores, according to an analysis of store openings between 2019 and 2021 from Green Street. The firm's research shows adding a grocer can boost traffic by upwards of 20% at a shopping center. bloomberg.com

Walmart Wades Into Abortion Debate
Walmart will cover abortion care for 1.6 million employees

Leaked memo says retailer will cover abortion costs when the mother's health is at risk and cover travel costs in other cases.

Walmart is expanding its healthcare coverage to include abortion care for its 1.6 million workers.

Insider reviewed a leaked memo from the chain's chief people officer, Donna Morris, that read, "Effective immediately, the Walmart self-insured healthcare plans will cover abortion when there is a health risk to the mother, rape or incest, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or lack of fetal viability."

The company will also "provide travel support for our associates and their covered dependents so they can access services covered by our Walmart self-insured plan when they are not available within 100 miles of their location."

The memo said that "more information regarding these benefits" will be released in "the coming weeks." Experts say that Walmart, along with other top employers, will face recruitment and retention struggles in red states due to the repeal of Roe v. Wade. businessinsider.com

Amazon Continues to Struggle with Physical Stores
Amazon is pressing pause on dozens more self-checkout grocery stores amid disappointing sales, report says

Amazon has struggled to open physical stores amid high costs and tension

Amazon is pausing the rollout of self-checkout Amazon Fresh stores following disappointing sales and economic headwinds, The Sunday Times reported. Sources told the UK newspaper that Amazon had walked away from talks on dozens of new sites for its grocery stores and ended searches for new locations.

Most existing Fresh stores had fallen short of sales projections, according to the report, while the costs of building the outlets dwarfed those typically associated with other convenience stores. The Sunday Times reported that some store openings would go ahead if leases had already been signed.

The news marks the latest in a stunted rollout of Amazon's physical presence, after years of success as an online retailer. In addition to poor sales and rising costs, Insider reported that a dysfunctional team culture and tension with Whole Foods, the retailer it bought for $13.7 billion in 2017, were also contributing to delays. businessinsider.com

National Cybersecurity Alliance & Amazon Launch Cybersecurity Partnership
Protect yourself online with tips from Amazon & National Cybersecurity Alliance

Amazon and the National Cybersecurity Alliance's PSA campaign features actor Michael B. Jordan and actress-producer Tessa Thompson as "internet bodyguards."

You can protect yourself online-that's the message Amazon and the National Cybersecurity Alliance want to share with millions of consumers through a newly launched cybersecurity awareness campaign. The public service announcement (PSA) campaign, Protect & Connect, stars Prime Video actor Michael B. Jordan and actress-producer Tessa Thompson as internet bodyguards.

AdvertisementAs phishing scams and other online cyberattacks become increasingly common, consumers can grow apathetic. In fact, research shows that even as the number of cyberattacks increased, concern around internet security fell between 2019 and 2020. But consumers can take simple steps to help protect themselves and their information online-no security expertise required.

"Empowering people with the knowledge and tools to operate safely online can help them protect their own personal information while combatting cyber threats of all kinds," said Steve Schmidt, Amazon's chief security officer. "Our goal is to give people simple, concrete steps to take, like enabling multi-factor authentication, that have meaningful security impact despite the complex security threats that exist."

Amazon leveraged the creative power of the Prime Video team to conceptualize the PSA and connect with top talent. They brought the message of personal agency to life with the help of Jordan and Thompson.

"The importance of protecting yourself online can't be overstated. With this PSA, we wanted to create a memorable, informative, and actionable piece of content that will inspire our communities to consider their online safety more carefully," said Sarah Hamilton, head of Global Brand Creative and Strategy at Prime Video. "Audiences will see celebrated action heroes Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson naturally slip into the role of 'internet bodyguards,' sharing simple ways everyone can be safer online."

In addition to the PSA, the campaign includes a microsite for consumers, protectconnect.com. It includes additional videos for visitors to learn more about multi-factor authentication (MFA) and how to identify and avoid phishing attempts. The site also has interactive content to test consumers' knowledge on best practices for keeping safe online. aboutamazon.com

Collecting Data on Employees
Workplace Monitoring: 3 Steps to Balance Employee Productivity and Privacy

Collecting and analyzing employee performance data can improve efficiency, but make sure employees see the value in it.

According to an Insider Threat Report, 94% of companies deploy some method of monitoring users. They do so despite the fact that very often workplace monitoring results in adverse employee reactions, low employee morale, and high turnover.

According to a Harvard Business Review survey, "90% of employees are willing to let their employers collect and use data on them and their work, but only if they benefit in some way."

1. Tell the Employees

The first step is to share with employees the goal of the effort. Articulate a vision guided by a simple but powerful principle: you can't fix what you can't see. Passive observation and data collection will be one way to gather, measure, and improve performance. Tell them which data you plan to collect, how it will be collected, why it is important, and how it can improve their day-to-day jobs.

2. Involve Employees in the Process

Bring the finance team into the conversation about how this data could be used. Let them share their concerns, but also ask them how they could benefit. Discuss how they and their manager can use these metrics to identify areas where they have process or application expertise.

3. Provide Value to Employees

Harvard Business Review notes that if companies wish to collect data, "they will need to forge a new 'give and get' relationship with employees and share more control with them over their own data." Giving employees direct access to the data can provide valuable and tangible "evidence" of their expertise (and potentially help them advocate for themselves) as well as identify areas for improvement. Giving them control over their data can also illuminate best practices that can be shared among coworkers. Better insights make for more engaged team members, and this is mutually beneficial for the employee and the employer. cfo.com

$100M in Losses for Apparel Manufacturer Hit by Ransomware Attack
Ransomware attacks increasing in frequency, spreading in reach
Ransomware attacks, like the one that cost Hanesbrands Inc. about $100 million in second-quarter sales, are increasing in frequency among corporations facing uncertain prospects of a complete restoration and recovery.

The Winston-Salem-based apparel manufacturer reported in a May 31 regulatory filing that it began experiencing the ransomware attack on May 24. Hanesbrands disclosed Aug. 11 in its second-quarter earnings report that its global supply chain network and ability to fulfill customer orders were affected for about three weeks.

"At this time, we believe the incident has been contained," the manufacturer said in a separate quarterly regulatory filing Aug. 11. "We have restored substantially all of our critical information technology systems, and manufacturing, retail and other internal operations continue. There is no ongoing operational impact on our ability to provide our products and services."

A 2021 study by Cloudwards determined that 37% of all U.S. businesses and organizations have been a ransomware victim, with 32% of those group paying the ransom, but only 65% getting all of their data back. A 2022 survey by HornetSecurity.com found that 21% of respondents to a ransomware study had been a victim and 9.2% "were left with no choice but to pay the ransom to recover their data."

HornetSecurity said the average downtime a company experiences after a ransomware attack is 21 days, while the average ransomware amount that companies were forced to pay in 2020 was $170,404.

"While the cost of that downtime alone can be fatal for many companies, that is without taking into consideration the cost of data recovery, the payment of the ransom and long-term brand damage," HornetSecurity said. journalnow.com

From Russia With Love
Russian citizen faces federal money laundering charge in alleged $400,000 ransomware attack
A new indictment alleges a Russian citizen extradited this week from the Netherlands to Portland laundered more than $400,000 in cryptocurrency extracted from ransomware attacks in the United States in July 2019.

Denis Mihaqlovic Dubnikov, 29, entered a not guilty plea through his attorney to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering during his first appearance in federal court on Wednesday afternoon.

According to the indictment , Dubnikov and his alleged accomplices laundered payments extracted from victims of what's known as Ryuk ransomware attacks. Altogether the conspiracy is alleged to have laundered more than $70 million in ransom proceeds worldwide, the indictment says.

Ryuk attempts to delete any backup files present on a computer or network and then begins to encrypt files, according to prosecutors. A "ransom note" is also placed onto the computer system when files are encrypted, providing email addresses typically via a foreign, web-based provider that the victims can use to contact the individuals deploying the ransomware. The alleged Ryuk actors also provide a bitcoin wallet address that victims are directed to use to pay a ransom to have their files decrypted, according to the indictment.

The ransomware conspiracy attacked thousands of victims worldwide, including thousands in the United States and multiple in Oregon, the indictment says. The indictment, heavily redacted, doesn't identify the victims of Dubnikov's alleged crime. oregonlive.com

The Sound of Silence

Interviewers have a habit of talking too much and listening too little. Traditionally, an investigator has wanted to dominate the conversation and prohibit the interviewee from speaking or interrupting. If we consider our goal of the interview - obtaining actionable intelligence - then its an obvious contradiction for the interviewer to impede the interviewee from talking. Truth be told, often our biggest opportunity is to simply just "shut up and listen". The context of the conversation is important prior to using this strategy, as the interviewer will want to "Engage and Explain" the process with the interviewee at the onset of the conversation. This may be through the Introductory Statement in the WZ Method, Facilitating Expectations in the Participatory Method or simply providing some instructions in the Cognitive Interview. Once we question the interviewee, the interviewer should (don't be surprised here) actually listen to the answer!

Fighting Counterfeits Worldwide
The Global Impact Of Counterfeiting And Solutions To Stop It
As technology has become more sophisticated, so has the ability of criminals to steal IPs and sell fake goods. While new technologies like QR codes, NFC chips and proprietary tracking software offer new ways for businesses to protect their brand and products from theft, many view counterfeiting as a standard cost or brand protection as simply more money than it's worth.

How Counterfeiting Affects Global Business

Retailers and luxury brands experience the most harm from counterfeiting, especially ones that sell their products on global marketplaces. While counterfeiting is hard on these businesses, it also comes with wider geopolitical consequences. For example, IP theft from criminals in China was partly responsible for tariffs levied by the U.S. a few years back.

How Counterfeiting Impacts Brands

Brands have to worry about both legitimate competitors eating up market share and counterfeiters who destroy trust. Beyond taking revenue away from a business, counterfeiting also affects the consumer's ability to trust their goods in an open marketplace. Without proper security and tracking measures, consumers rapidly lose trust in brands to protect their customers from theft. IP and brand protection company IncoPro found that 52% of consumers lost trust in a brand after purchasing a fake good online, while 64% lost trust in online marketplaces. This actually led Nike to stop selling its products on Amazon.

Ways Brands Can Reduce Counterfeiting

1. Track And Trace Networks

The ability to locate products through GPS allows full traceability through the supply chain and promotes greater transparency. With proprietary and serialized codes, businesses can monitor products, pallets and shipping containers across their supply chain. These codes can be scanned using a standard smartphone to authenticate or with proprietary technology to provide higher levels of security. Unique covert taggants and inks can further add to the complexity of the security, so brands have complete control in the fight against counterfeit and diversion of products.

2. Online Brand Protection

Online IP theft is especially devastating for startups, whose equity and value are often a measure of their intellectual property. Fortunately, anti-piracy algorithms and broad tracking networks allow brands to track and identify violations relating to their products so brands can protect their business's IP.

3. Digital Printing

The development of sophisticated, high-speed digital print processes allows brands to print variable, dynamic serialization codes both overtly and covertly on packaging, labels and a wide range of substrates. This helps with traceability, authentication, track and trace and consumer engagement. forbes.com

Online Shopping Cart Abandonment
Online Checkout Optimization Is Essential: Do Checkout Services Oil The Wheels Of ECommerce?
eCommerce spending jumped 55% during the Covid pandemic, and many of those shopping behaviors are now cemented in habit. The surge in eCommerce continues as consumers value speed and convenience as well as cost savings. But as shoppers buy from an expanding array of merchants, they experience intense frustration when forced to sign in or navigate a clunky checkout. We consider how a new breed of checkout assistance services reduce friction and offer benefits to all.

Recent Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) research suggests that 70% of online shopping carts are abandoned at the cart or checkout phase. While people love online shopping, they hate friction and one in four will abandon a purchase at the earliest sign of slowdown. Most people simply want to browse, shop, then get on with their day. For nearly half of shoppers, creating an account is a major frustration. A dopamine hit of a potential purchase quickly turns to discord and disappointment if there is checkout difficulty. In an ideal world, 70% of people say they would opt for a single, secure account for everything.

While a single universal account remains an aspiration, the market is rising to this unique challenge. A growing network of shopping validation providers - such as Bolt and Shopify - make it easier for shoppers to checkout and pay, quickly and securely. These companies also help to reduce cart abandonment by offering a one-click experience. forbes.com

Schererville, IN: 1 shot, 2 in custody after robbery suspects ram police SUV while trying to get away
A police-involved shooting ended with one man in the hospital and two others in custody after a robbery at an Indiana sporting goods store Saturday. Authorities said as the suspects were trying to escape, they rammed their vehicle into a police squad SUV and that's when officers opened fire. "It's horrific! I'm in this shopping mall multiple times a week, sometimes 9 o'clock at night and I have never felt unsafe, un-secure, or worried about my safety," said Mary Kate Tesky, who lives in Munster, Indiana. A shattered window and a looming police presence is what remains in the aftermath of a violent scene that blocked the entrance of Dick's Sporting Goods in Schererville for hours. The area was closed after Lake County, Indiana, sheriff deputies said officers with the Schererville Police Department shot one of three people trying to get away with stolen merchandise. "It's unfathomable and it's unacceptable," Tesky said. Police were called to the store around 4:30 Saturday afternoon. When officers were confronted by the trio, who were trying to drive away, the suspects rammed their vehicle into a police squad SUV, officials said. That's when shots were fired by officers, striking one of the suspects. No officers were hurt. Police said the two other suspects were taken into custody. It is believe these suspect may be connected to multiple Dick Sporting Goods robberies in the Chicago area.  nbcchicago.com

Being too close to the trees to see the forest is an expression that also fits not appreciating the role you play on your own team. With the needs of the day seemingly always taking priority, it's difficult for some to step back and truly see the value you can add to your own team. Realizing it and accepting the responsibility as a team member is half the battle. But doing something with it and truly adding value is what helps the team win the game. Every group, every department is, in fact, a team and every member plays a vital role in the success and the survival of that team. That's why that old expression - One for all and all for one - took such a hold in literature. Because it is that simple. The hard part is taking responsibility for it.


Just a Thought,
Gus
