The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact



Inside Look at Undercover Anti-Theft Ops in California
Ride-along: Watch Sacramento County sheriff's deputies conduct Operation Hot August Nights
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office is doubling down on retail theft. The organized retail theft unit conducted a second undercover operation over the weekend, made possible by a $9 million state grant.

The five-day operation called Hot August Nights resulted in 360 citations, 216 trespass notices, 240 misdemeanors, 20 felonies, 9 towed vehicles and deputies recovering $22,000 in stolen merchandise. KCRA 3 News rode along for one night of the operation.

The deputies were broken up into four teams of about 40 deputies. They all met at the department first to gear up for another shift of shaking down shoplifters. Deputies are trying to put a dent in the nearly $8 billion California businesses lose every year to thieves.

"We are out here enforcing theft crimes, and that the days of being able to just run rampant and do whatever you want are coming to an end," said Detective Andy Cater. Cater led one of four teams watching four different retail stores.

The well-organized operation began at 2 p.m., and right away, deputies came across a man they called a repeat offender. The operation consisted of the coordinated teamwork of about 40 deputies.

Undercover deputies were watching inside the store. Another team worked with the store's loss prevention crew, observing security cameras. Others were stationed outside, and that's where KCRA 3 cameras were along for the ride.

Another team was back at the sheriff's office and they were all in constant communication by radio and text. The deputies inside the store alerted the deputies stationed outside about the suspects' descriptions and what they were accused of stealing.

Their work stopping shoplifters isn't done, and the organized retail theft team will be back and do it all again another day. kcra.com


States Continue to Struggle with ORC - But They're Fighting Back
Organized retail crime costs Illinois retailers, consumers, taxpayers

Illinois retailers, consumers & taxpayers are paying a price for organized retail crime.

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul told The Center Square that organized retail crime involves much more than just smash-and-grab incidents.

"It's rail theft. It's theft from warehouses, theft from big box stores, the Home Depots, the Walmarts and so forth. It's not just in urban areas. It's throughout the state," Raoul said.

Raoul said his office has worked with local, state and federal law enforcement partners on this issue. Raoul added that he established the Illinois Organized Retail Crime Task Force in 2021, after a government affairs person from Home Depot tipped him off to the organized crime element of retail theft.

Illinois taxpayers are spending $5 million on the task force in fiscal year 2025. According to Capital One Shopping, retail thefts cost Illinois an estimated $185 million in tax revenue in 2022.

Capital One Shopping also found that 70.7% of retailers nationwide reported an increase in organized retail crime incidents over five years.

Retail Industry Leaders Association Vice President of Asset Protection Khris Hamlin told The Center Square that organized theft is definitely a growing problem: "We can talk numbers up and down and all around all day long, but the fact of it is that retailers are seeing an uptick in this activity," Hamlin said.

Hamlin said the Retail Industry Leaders Association has partnered with the National District Attorneys Association and the International Association of Chiefs of Police to address the issue.

"When you bring all these collaborative parties together, that's when you start the effort of slowing down the activity. Most importantly, how do you end or slow down recidivism," Hamlin said.  cities929.com


Giant Food's New Ban of Unaccompanied Minors Makes More Headlines
Supermarket chain bans unaccompanied minors after 6 pm, large bags amid out-of-control theft

New rules to affect all Giant Food locations in Washington, DC

A supermarket chain is banning unaccompanied minors inside select stores after 6 p.m. and large bags in Washington, D.C., and Maryland as part of a new policy aimed at curbing rampant retail theft.

Giant Food confirmed to Fox News Digital in a statement on Monday that the chain's revised policy will affect select stores "to mitigate the unprecedented levels of product theft" that has made business "unsustainable."

"Retail theft in our market area affects everyone," Giant Foods said in a statement. "It limits product availability, creates a less convenient shopping experience, and, most critically, puts our associates and customers in harm's way."

The chain's new policy, which went into effect on Thursday, will affect all seven locations in D.C., two in Baltimore and three in Prince George's County, Maryland.

The measure bans those under 18 from entering its stores without an adult after 6 p.m. and bags larger than 14 inches by 14 inches by 6 inches are prohibited in most stores. In stores that allow large bags, customers must consent to having the bag tagged before entering and searched before leaving.

As retail theft remains a glaring issue in cities across the country since the coronavirus pandemic, Capital One data shows that retailers in Washington, D.C., lost $120 million in revenue to theft in 2022, causing the city to lose $7.21 million in retail sales tax dollars. foxnews.com


Mall Mass Shooting Lawsuit
Allen outlet mall 'ignored' police requests for more officers before mass shooting, lawsuit says

The lawsuit alleges that the mall's ownership group and security service knew the "high risk" of incidents at the mall.

A lawsuit filed on behalf of the Allen outlet mall shooting victims and their families alleged that the mall's ownership and security service did not properly staff the mall with security, despite requests from Allen Police Department to add more officers.

The lawsuit, filed on Aug. 24, alleged that Simon Property Group, which owns the Allen Premium Outlets, and the outlets' security contractor, Allied Universal Security Services, knew of the "high risk" of crime at the mall but "ignored" requests from Allen police to add more officers or guards.

The lawsuit alleged that the Allen Police Department, in the three years before the May 6, 2023 shooting, had responded to "more than 3,000 calls" at the outlet mall, including, in some instances, dozens of times per day.

The lawsuit alleged that the security incidents "resulted in outcry from government officials," including Allen police officials advocating "for dozens of uniformed officers to adequately secure such a large, densely populated outdoor setting."

"Simon and Allied ignored these requests and failed to provide any comparable level of security as an alternative," the lawsuit said. The lawsuit said mall owners and operators, as well as their security companies, "are responsible for assessing vulnerabilities" and keeping shoppers safe.

"Done right, proper security decreases the risk of mass gun violence," the lawsuit said. "But Simon and Allied unevenly allocated security resources across demographic areas, ignoring location-specific threats and dangers posed at certain malls such as the Allen Premium Outlets."  wfaa.com


Using AI to Fill Out Police Reports
Police officers are starting to use AI chatbots to write crime reports. Will they hold up in court?

Oklahoma City's police department is one of a handful to experiment with AI chatbots to produce the first drafts of incident reports.

A body camera captured every word and bark uttered as police Sgt. Matt Gilmore and his K-9 dog, Gunner, searched for a group of suspects for nearly an hour.

Normally, the Oklahoma City police sergeant would grab his laptop and spend another 30 to 45 minutes writing up a report about the search. But this time he had artificial intelligence write the first draft. Pulling from all the sounds and radio chatter picked up by the microphone attached to Gilbert's body camera, the AI tool churned out a report in eight seconds.

Oklahoma City's police department is one of a handful to experiment with AI chatbots to produce the first drafts of incident reports. Police officers who've tried it are enthused about the time-saving technology, while some prosecutors, police watchdogs and legal scholars have concerns about how it could alter a fundamental document in the criminal justice system that plays a role in who gets prosecuted or imprisoned. nbcnews.com

Retailers Must Prepare for New OSHA 'Walkaround Rule'
New OSHA Compliance Strategies for Luxury Retail Industry Companies
Recent labor law, workplace safety regulation, and antitrust enforcement developments are creating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape for luxury retail industry employers. Companies must navigate an array of compliance challenges at the state and federal level, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) new "union walkaround" rule and evolving employment laws such as Fair Workweek and salary disclosure mandates.

OSHA COMPLIANCE AND THE NEW UNION WALKAROUND RULE

A major change in OSHA inspection procedures is the new Worker Walkaround Representative Designation Process, or "union walkaround rule," which allows compliance officers to bring third-party representatives for workplace inspections, even at nonunionized sites. This gives union organizers and worker advocacy groups potential access to previously restricted areas of luxury retail stores and manufacturing facilities during OSHA visits. This includes when customers are in the store during operating hours.

Best practices for luxury retail employers to prepare for this change include the following:

Updating OSHA inspection policies and procedures, including guidance for frontline managers on how to respond if an inspector arrives with a third-party representative

Considering whether to require search warrants for inspections rather than voluntarily allowing access

Developing site confidentiality agreements for all visitors to protect trade secrets and sensitive information

Training managers on how to professionally interact with third-party representatives while protecting company interests

Reviewing site security and access protocols, particularly for nonpublic areas such as stock rooms and areas where product is being worked on


While legal challenges to this rule are pending, luxury retail employers should still prepare for changes as the rule remains in effect. Having clear policies and well-trained staff can help minimize disruption if inspectors arrive with union representatives or other third parties in tow.  jdsupra.com


FTC Continues to Wage War on Kroger-Albertsons Merger
Surging grocery prices in focus as US tries to stop Kroger deal
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission argued in federal court on Monday that Kroger's $25 billion merger with rival grocer Albertsons is bad for shoppers in a case that highlights growing alarm over surging grocery prices.

The FTC and several states went to trial in Portland, Oregon, to block the deal, saying it would mean higher prices for consumers and less bargaining power for unionized grocery workers.

FTC Chief Trial Counsel Susan Musser told U.S. District Judge Adrienne Nelson during opening statements in a packed courtroom that it would result in Kroger "swallowing" Albertsons.

"Stopping this multibillion-dollar deal will keep in place the vigorous competition that acts as a check on rising grocery prices and spurs improvements in quality and innovation," she said.

Kroger attorney Matthew Wolf said in an opening statement that the merger would immediately lower some prices for shoppers at Albertsons, where prices are now 10-12% higher than at Kroger stores. The FTC's bid to bring down prices by blocking the deal shows "they neither understand the industry nor the parties within it," Wolf said. reuters.com


1,525 New Locations - 500K Associates
Spirit Halloween to open record number of seasonal stores

Spirit Halloween is going bigger than ever this year.

The seasonal retailer will open a record-breaking 1,525 locations this year in the United States and Canada, the majority of which (more than 1,100) are already open. Locations can be found here.

Spirit's theme for this year's Halloween season is "Spirit Carnevil," which gives shoppers an in-store experience featuring a large carnival area with an archway, multiple booths and a funhouse.

Earlier this year, Spirit said it was looking to hire 50,000 seasonal sales associates and store managers to support its stores this year. Last year, the chain aimed to hire 40,000 workers for a similar number of stores. chainstoreage.com

In Case You Missed It
RH-ISAC Joins National Task Force for Fraud & Scam Prevention

Led by the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program, this trailblazing multi-sector initiative will launch in the fall to combat fraud and build trust in our financial system.

Washington, D.C. - The Aspen Institute Financial Security Program (Aspen FSP) is announcing the formation of a National Task Force for Fraud & Scam Prevention, an initiative that will bring together leading stakeholders from government, law enforcement, private industry, and civil society to develop a nation-wide strategy aimed at helping prevent fraud and scams.

Financial frauds and scams are an increasing threat against Americans' public safety and financial health, with implications for our economy, the U.S. financial system, and national security. Criminals carry out their crimes in multiple venues-over social media, dating sites, job boards, marketplaces, and telephone calls-breaking down trust in our institutions and putting Americans' personal savings at risk. The task force formalizes a network of stakeholders who have a vested interest in making sure that consumers are protected and can restore trust in our financial system.

"The National Task Force for Fraud & Scam Prevention developed out of Aspen FSP's work convening and supporting leaders and institutions committed to building a safe, fair, and inclusive financial system," said Ida Rademacher, vice president at the Aspen Institute and co-executive director of Aspen FSP. "We are excited to work with our partners to increase trust in our financial systems, equip individuals and families with better information and tools, and continue to safely expand services to underserved communities. Together, our work can help keep money in the pockets of hardworking Americans and strengthen households' financial security."

The Task Force will address different aspects of the fraud and scam lifecycle, with a primary focus on prevention. rhisac.org


Will Microsoft Live Up To Its New Security Commitments?
CISA officials credit Microsoft security log expansion for improved threat visibility

CISA officials say they plan to hold Microsoft accountable to ensure the company lives up to its commitments.

AdvertisementGreater access to Microsoft event logs is paying off for U.S. government agencies and critical infrastructure providers, which have gained greater visibility into their network environments, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said Saturday.

Microsoft expanded free access to security logs in 2023 after a state-linked threat actor stole thousands of emails from the State Department after gaining access to Microsoft Exchange Online.

"Yes, Microsoft has expanded access to the logging elements that were used by the State Department to detect the 2023 compromise to a vastly larger set of customers, including all federal agencies and numerous critical infrastructure organizations," Jeff Greene, CISA executive assistant director for cybersecurity, confirmed via email.

"These new logs are being used by organizations today to detect threats," Greene said.

The Cyber Safety Review Board issued a report in April blasting Microsoft, saying that the attack was the result of years of neglect by the company and was entirely preventable.

Earlier this year, Microsoft began taking steps to overhaul its internal security culture through a program dubbed the Secure Future Initiative. The company has already taken steps to realign its security governance, putting security at the forefront of how it develops software and interacts with customers and the larger industry.  cybersecuritydive.com


Google Chrome Users Targeted
Ransomware Gang Targets Google Chrome Users In Surprise New Threat Twist
Qilin, the Russia-linked cybercrime group thought to be behind the June attacks that caused chaos at a number of U.K. hospitals in June, has now been caught stealing credentials stored within Google Chrome browsers in a surprise new twist to the ransomware attack threat.

Although ransomware is not only a long-established but also increasingly costly threat to organizations, Qilin is a relatively new player in the nasty cybercrime game. Running a Ransomware-as-a-Service criminal operation, Qilin is known to date back only as far as October 2022. Researchers from the Sophos X-Ops team have now analyzed a recent attack by the Qilin operators and discovered a new and unusual tactic which they describe as providing "a bonus multiplier for the chaos already inherent in ransomware situations." That tactic being the simultaneous theft of credentials from Google Chrome browsers found on a subset of the victim network's endpoints, extending the potential reach of the attack beyond the original target. forbes.com

Businesses Respond to the FTC's War on Fake Reviews
Fake online reviews and testimonials are a headache for small businesses. They hope the FTC can help.

Online reviews and testimonials are a key way that small businesses can attract new customers and boost sales of products

Fake reviews and testimonials have been a persistent problem for small businesses, many of whom rely on recommendations for business. Fake reviews can make it harder for people to trust what they read online and ultimately hurt businesses. In addition, small businesses can find themselves targeted by bad actors who leave negative reviews.

In an effort to combat the problem, the Federal Trade Commission is cracking down on those who perpetuate fake reviews online. It issued a final rule that bans their sale or purchase and allows the agency to seek civil penalties against knowing violators.

The rule becomes effective Oct. 21, 60 days after it was published in the Federal Register.

"Fake reviews not only waste people's time and money, but also pollute the marketplace and divert business away from honest competitors," said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan. She added that the rule will "protect Americans from getting cheated, put businesses that unlawfully game the system on notice, and promote markets that are fair, honest, and competitive."

Specifically, the rule bans reviews and testimonials attributed to people who don't exist or are AI-generated, people who don't have experience with the business or product/services, or misrepresent their experience. It also bans businesses from creating or selling reviews or testimonials. Businesses who knowingly buy fake reviews, procure them from company insiders or disseminate fake reviews will be penalized.

The rule also bans anyone from selling or buying fake indicators of social media influence, such as followers or views generated by a bot or hijacked account.  abcnews.go.com

Baltimore, MD: Update: Four people charged with breaking into Gun stores and stealing firearms across Maryland
Four people have been arrested in connection to multiple gun store robberies across Anne Arundel, Prince George's, and Baltimore Counties. The robberies began in December 2023 and continued through March 2024. Police say the group was made up of four people, ages 16 to 20, and they're accused of at least 10 incidents. According to police, the group would operate in the late night and into the early morning. They would allegedly use a pry bar to break into the stores, and in total the group took 81 guns and 10 replica guns. Only six of those guns have been recovered, all of which were found in the possession of minors or people prohibited of possessing firearms. During the three-month period, officials say the group was robbed twice of some of the guns. The remaining firearms were being marketed on a public social media page for sell or trade. At one point, one of the members of the group shot another member in both feet by accident resulting in a hospital visit.

The defendants are:

- Cy'juan Hemsley, a 19-year-old male from District Heights, is charged with 200 counts.
- Mahkiya McQuinn-Woodley, a 20-year-old female from Baltimore, is charged with 189 counts.
- An unnamed 17-year-old male from Temple Hills is charged with 199 counts.
- An unnamed 16-year-old male from Upper Marlboro is charged with 205 counts.  wusa9.com


Chicago, IL: Four Burglars steal $40,000 worth of jewelry from suburban Chicago store

Yellow pillars were just one layer of security the owners of the Calumet City store have added. They also added a brand new security door and were installing more camera on Tuesday. Surveillance video captured the moment on Aug. 16 when a car smashed through Dream Jewelers before four masked thieves grabbed what they could from inside. While almost all of the cases were empty, the owners of the store said they got away with about $40,000 worth of jewelry. The damage to the shop itself was estimated at over $50,000.  cbsnews.com

Shootings & Deaths


Beaverton, OR: Beaverton police shoot, kill man outside Nordstrom Rack
Beaverton police shot and killed a man outside of a store near Washington Square Mall on Monday evening, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office. Just before 8 p.m. Monday evening, officers from the Beaverton Police Department responded to a theft call from the Nordstrom Rack on Southwest Cascade Avenue. Employees reported seeing a man stealing merchandise, and he emerged from the store just as two Beaverton officers arrived, the sheriff's office said. The man, later identified as 39-year-old Jacob Daniel Bundy of Portland, allegedly pulled out a handgun when the officers tried to detain him. During a struggle with police, Bundy's gun went off - after which, according to WCSO, the officers shot him. The sheriff's office said that officers and emergency medical crews provided first aid, but Bundy died at the scene. The two officers involved reportedly had minor injuries; they were not shot, and they did not require medical attention, according to Detective Shannon Wilde of WCSO. "This was a very quick, evolving situation," Wilde said. The Washington County Major Crimes Team, led by the county district attorney's office, responded to investigate. They determined that Bundy's gun had been reported stolen out of Washington County, while a motorcycle he'd driven to the store was reported stolen out of Vancouver. Multiple witnesses saw the incident, Wilde said. Both Beaverton police officers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave, which is standard protocol. No Beaverton officers will be involved with the ongoing investigation, Wilde said.   kgw.com

Managing your career upwards is a difficult task because it requires absolute commitment in every situation and environment. You have to stay focused on what's in front of you and make sure your attitude matches your actions. And remember always be West Point. There's a reason every single U.S. citizen respects graduates of West Point. It's almost a universal code so to speak. Clean, crisp, sharp, alert, intelligent, and always a gentleman or gentlewoman.
  

Just a Thought,
