LPRC's Homelessness
Taskforce
Homelessness is a growing concern in communities across the U.S with over
half a million Americans currently experiencing homelessness. This major
public health concern makes itself known in commercial areas through the
presence of homeless encampments and transient communities causing crime and
disorder in their wake. Examples of this retailer-focused harm include,
loitering outside of stores, harassment and intimidation of store associates and
legitimate shoppers, shoplifting, and drug use on and around store premises.
Members of the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC) have expressed interest
in pursuing both short-term target-hardening strategies, as well as coming
together as a retail sector to establish a firmer voice in the long-term
community response to homelessness. To best accomplish these missions, the LPRC
has decided to establish a Homelessness Taskforce made up of retail members and
solution providers, as well as representatives from law enforcement, social
service providers, and community leaders.
The goals of the taskforce include, but are not limited to:
●
Benchmark retailer experience with homelessness
and homeless-related crime in and around their stores/facilities;
●
Leverage partnerships between retailers,
solution providers, community leaders, social service providers, and law
enforcement representatives to take stock of common challenges, share innovative
practices, and identify areas where future policy guidance and technical
assistance would be beneficial;
●
Establish a robust list of best-practices for
retail organizations to address homelessness and homeless-related crime in their
communities;
●
Establish a standardized "homeless toolkit" for
store management and associates to use when faced with homeless-related issues
and policing resources are not necessary or available;
●
Establish lists of locale-specific homeless
service providers, temporary shelters, and other contacts to include in store
"homeless toolkits."
The taskforce will meet once a month with leadership calls occurring every two
weeks. Schedule will be determined by a participant poll.
For questions, comments, or concerns please contact Mackenzie Kushner at
Mackenzie@lpresearch.org.
Not the best point of contact for this taskforce? Know a member of your
community who would be interested in participating? You may forward this
information and survey to other representatives in and outside of your
organization who you believe will be a great asset!

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Fighting Organized Retail Crime in San
Francisco
San Francisco Announces New Anti-Retail Theft Initiative
 San
Francisco Mayor London Breed on Wednesday unveiled details of a new
initiative to curb crime at retail stores in the city.
San Francisco's Organized Retail Crime Initiative will be led by the SFPD in
partnership with local retailers and regional law enforcement agencies. The
focus of the plan is to increase reporting, investigating, and solving of
retail theft cases and the upstream criminal enterprises that fuel them.
The planned initiative has three main elements: expanding and reallocating
investigative resources, strategic restructuring, and the introduction of new
partnerships between the public and private sectors.
"Retail theft and commercial burglaries are not victimless crimes," said Mayor
Breed. "They hurt working families due to reduced work hours, shuttered
stores and lost jobs. They hurt customers and seniors who are losing
convenient access to prescription medications and vaccinations because of
pharmacy closures. They hurt neighborhoods suffering from fewer local
retailers and more empty storefronts. The strategy we're outlining today is
an all-hands-on-deck approach that brings the full partnership of state and
local law enforcement and retailers to bear to
aggressively pursue, investigate and deter organized retail crime in San
Francisco."
The initiative will expand SFPD's Organized Retail Crime Unit from two to
five full-duty sworn investigators under the command of a lieutenant. In
addition to cases they investigate within their citywide purview, unit members
will serve as full partners to the CHP's Organized Retail Crime Task Force,
which Governor Newsom reauthorized on July 21, 2021. The
City's ambassador program will expand from 8 to 25 employees (retired SFPD
officers)
and extend beyond Union Square.
Prior to its reauthorization after sunsetting earlier this year, CHP's Organized
Retail Crime Task Force worked in close partnership with the SFPD in operations
that
recovered millions of dollars in stolen merchandise and cash from criminal
enterprises engaged in retail theft activities.

Biggest Murder Surge on Record
- But There's Some Hope in 2021
Murder Rose by Almost 30% in 2020. It's Rising at a Slower Rate in 2021.
The increase in U.S. murders this summer
does not appear to be as large as the record spike last summer.
The United States in 2020 experienced the biggest rise in murder since the
start of national record-keeping in 1960, according to data gathered by the
F.B.I. for its annual report on crime.
The Uniform Crime Report will stand as the official word on an unusually grim
year, detailing a rise in murder of around 29 percent. The previous largest
one-year change was a 12.7 percent increase in 1968. The national rate -
murders per 100,000 - still remains about one-third below the rate in the early
1990s.
Separately, an independent analysis of big cities finds at least one promising
sign that the murder rate may be starting to flatten this year: The
increase in murders this summer does not appear to be as large as the record
spike last summer.
The rise in murder was national, not regional
The F.B.I. data shows almost 5,000 more murders last year than in 2019,
for a total of around 21,500 (still below the particularly violent era of the
early 1990s).
The reasons for the rise may never be fully sorted out, but analysts have
pointed to many possible contributing factors, including
various pandemic stresses;
increased distrust between the police and the public after the murder of
George Floyd, including a pullback by the police in response to criticism;
and
increased firearm carrying.
About 77 percent of reported murders in 2020 were committed with a firearm,
the highest share ever reported, up from 67 percent a decade ago.
The change in murder was widespread - a national phenomenon and not a
regional one. Murder rose over 35 percent in cities with populations over
250,000 that reported full data. It also rose over 40 percent in cities
100,000 to 250,000, and around 25 percent in cities under 25,000.
Overall crime fell
Even with the rise in murders and a roughly 5 percent increase in violent crime,
the new data shows that overall major crimes fell about 4 to 5 percent in
2020. Some of the reduction in overall crime was clearly related to the
pandemic. Theft made up around seven in 10 property crimes, and it's hard to
commit shoplifting when stores are closed. But overall crime was dropping
long before the pandemic: 2020 was the 18th straight year of declining
overall crime.

So-Called 'Defund Police' Effort Winds Down in DC
Protests Stopped - COVID-19 Aid - Biden's Agenda - Crime & Violence Surge
Bipartisan Police-Overhaul Talks End With No Deal
Lawmakers had sought to address abuses by law-enforcement after protests over
killings of Black Americans
WASHINGTON-Bipartisan talks aimed at
overhauling police tactics and accountability have ended with no agreement,
the top Democratic negotiator said, with lawmakers
unable to reach a compromise
following nationwide protests sparked by the killings of Black Americans by
law-enforcement officers.
Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) said Wednesday that he called Sen. Tim Scott (R.,
S.C.) to tell him the Democrats were done negotiating after Mr. Scott didn't
accept their final offer. Mr. Scott's office didn't immediately comment.
The negotiations, which began early this year, were led by Messrs. Booker and
Scott and Rep. Karen Bass (D., Calif.). A previous effort to pass policing rules
had
ended in partisan acrimony before the 2020 election, but the trio,
comprising three of the most prominent Black lawmakers in Congress, had been
optimistic they could come to a compromise this year by focusing on areas of
agreement between the two parties.
As talks progressed, however, the lawmakers were
unable to resolve differences over how police officers should be prosecuted and
held liable, including
whether to change or eliminate
a legal doctrine known as qualified immunity
that shields officers from lawsuits. Democrats favored more sweeping changes,
while Republicans sought more incremental moves. Even the areas they broadly
agreed on-such as
limiting the transfer of military equipment to local departments and the use of
no-knock warrants-ran
into opposition when language was drafted, according to people familiar with the
matter.
The
pressure to reach a deal also eased, as protests wound down and Democrats turned
their attention to advancing President Biden's agenda,
including Covid-19 aid, infrastructure spending and a sweeping social-welfare
and climate bill. Republicans, who tended to be more aligned with law
enforcement, cooled in their enthusiasm for new policing rules. Republicans,
painting Democrats as soft on crime, felt their message was resonating with
voters.
Without legislation, the administration is relying largely on the Justice
Department in its efforts to change American policing, mostly through broad
civil-rights investigations into local agencies, grants and other measures. The
department last week issued a memo curtailing the use of chokeholds, but it only
applies to federal agents.

New Reported Vaccine Doses Administered in the U.S. by Day
One Year Away from Normalcy?
Moderna chief executive sees pandemic over in a year
Moderna Inc Chief Executive Stéphane Bancel thinks the coronavirus pandemic
could be over in a year as increased vaccine production ensures global supplies,
he told the Swiss newspaper Neue Zuercher Zeitung.
"If you look at the industry-wide expansion of production capacities over the
past six months, enough doses should be available by the middle of next year
so that everyone on this earth can be vaccinated. Boosters should also be
possible to the extent required," he told the newspaper in an interview.
Asked if that meant a return to normal in the second
half of next year, he said: "As of today, in a year, I assume."
Bancel said he expected governments to approve booster shots for people
already vaccinated because patients at risk who were vaccinated last autumn
"undoubtedly" needed a refresher.

Covid Live Updates: Who Exactly Will Get Pfizer-BioNTech Booster Shots?
On Wednesday evening, the Food and Drug Administration
authorized booster shots of the vaccine for people over 65 who received
their second at least six months earlier. The agency also authorized boosters
for adult Pfizer-BioNTech recipients who are at high risk of severe Covid-19,
or who are at risk of serious complications because of exposure to the virus
in their jobs.
Roughly 22 million Americans are at least six months past their second
Pfizer dose, according to the C.D.C. About half are 65 or older.
"I don't think there's any hope that vaccines such as the ones we have will
prevent infection after the first, maybe, couple weeks that you have those
extraordinary immediate responses," said Dr. Sarah Long, a pediatric infectious
disease expert at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia.

Retailers are asking for 90 days to vaccinate
Retailers Detail Operational Questions for Vaccine Mandates
RILA, NRF offer insights for vaccine mandate
guidance
 In
a
letter sent to the U.S. Department of Labor and Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) today, the Retail Industry Leaders Association
(RILA) and the National Retail Federation (NRF) highlighted the considerable
operational challenges of implementing a vaccine mandate for retailers, an
industry that supports more than 50 million jobs. The letter poses key questions
retailers want the agency to consider as it finalizes the Emergency Temporary
Standard (ETS).
To ensure the overall operability and success of the ETS, retailers asked the
Department to address questions regarding vaccination verification processes,
testing capacity and costs, exemptions, and what remedial actions can be taken
in situations where employees refuse vaccinations and testing.

COVID's Impact on the Insider Threat
How to Recognize and Respond to Insider Threats from Employees
Insider threat incidents are more common than one might think. A recent
assessment by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity
and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) found that more than 2 million people
report some type of workplace violence each year, with approximately 25 percent
of workplace violence going unreported.
Additionally, 90 percent of cybersecurity professionals believe their
organizations are vulnerable to insider threats, which cost a median of $4.45
million to recover from and take 314 days to identify and contain, according
to CISA. And the reasons why an insider might be compelled to lash out at work
have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"This has been a unique risk environment, and it's continuing," says
Rebecca Morgan, deputy director of the National Insider Threat Task Force at the
National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC). "We have a risk
environment where we have an incredibly stressed-out workforce, people
are dealing with financial insecurity, medical and mental health isolation, and
then trying to get a mission accomplished at the same time."
"In addition, Gallup has found that roughly seven in 10 employees are
struggling or suffering, rather than thriving, in their overall lives,"
wrote Jim Clifton, Gallup chairman and CEO, in the
State of the Global Workforce: 2021 Report. "Eighty percent are not
engaged or are actively disengaged at work."
The findings reflect a trend that Gallup has been tracking for the past decade:
negative emotions are on the rise, and employee mental health may get worse.
Unfortunately, many organizations lack data on employee wellbeing, burnout or
resiliency.

Retail Mask Wars Continue
VIDEO: Man stalks woman around Target for not wearing mask, encourages others to
shame her
 A
video is going viral this week that shows a man wearing a COVID-19 vaccination
pin on his shirt and harassing a woman in Target because she is not wearing a
face mask.
The man is seen on video stalking a female shopper at a Target store in
Washington,
according to Newsweek. In the footage, the man is wearing a mask and doesn't
appear to have a shopping cart or any products in his hands to purchase.
He tells the woman that wearing a face mask is a "state regulation." "It's not a
law. You're an idiot," the woman says, and she walks away but he follows.
Currently, the
Washington Department of Health requires that "everyone five years of age
and older wear a mask in public indoor settings and at large, outdoor events
with 500 or more attendees, including sporting events, fairs, parades, and
concerts, regardless of vaccination status."

Subway turns blind eye to boss accused of stiffing workers out of $38 million
The embattled fast-food giant continues to back a top regional manager who
recently settled a lawsuit that alleged he underpaid nearly 3,000 workers by
$38 million, miffed franchisees complained to The Post.
The suit claims that Chirayu Patel, who's also a franchisee, stiffed workers out
of overtime pay, didn't pay them for all of the hours they worked and didn't
allow them meal or rest periods.
That same manager - who oversees more than a thousand Subway locations in
California - already had been exposed in 2019 for underhanded practices that led
some franchisees to lose their businesses. Subway stood by him then, too.
A source familiar with the situation said Subway's silence speaks of a lack of
leadership at the chain, whose sales fell to $8.3 billion in 2020, according to
market researcher Technomic, from $12.3 billion in 2013.
A source said under Fred DeLuca, the founder and CEO of Subway who died in 2015,
that kind of thing wouldn't have been tolerated. The new CEO, John Chidsey - who
used to run Burger King -
has been criticized as not engaging much with franchisees. He didn't
comment.
"I don't understand how Subway could turn a blind eye to this guy," Paris, the
attorney, said. "It's definitely suspicious."
It's the latest in a string of ham-handed responses that raise the question of
who's minding the store at the sandwich chain with 22,000 locations across North
America.

Driver Shortages Impacting Retailers' Plans
Staffing shortages are a global issue & can have a
wide ranging impact
UK Grocer, Tesco warns shortages could result in panic buying at Christmas
Tesco has warned the government that customers will likely be panic buying ahead
of Christmas unless urgent action is taken to address the shortage of HGV
drivers.
In a meeting organised by the Cabinet Office last Thursday, the Big 4 grocer
said it has a shortfall of 800 lorry drivers and urged the government to
temporarily make it easier to bring in workers from abroad.
Tesco has been offering new recruits bonuses of £1000 since July. It is among a
number of leading retailers that have been selected by government to find a
solution to the labour crisis.
Woolfenden said the problem was industry-wide and described attempts by
companies to recruit from the same, limited pool of drivers as like "moving
deckchairs around".

Retailers - Stablecoin is coming
Regulators Racing Toward First Major Rules on Cryptocurrency
Now the Treasury Department and other agencies are moving urgently on an initial
target for tighter regulation: a fast-growing product called a stablecoin.
Issued by a variety of firms that are currently only lightly regulated through a
patchwork of state rules, stablecoins serve as something of a bridge between
cryptocurrency markets and the traditional economy.
The value of a stablecoin is ostensibly pegged one-to-one to the United States
dollar, gold or some other stable asset. The idea is to make it easier for
people holding cryptocurrency - which is notorious for its frequent price swings
- to carry out transactions like purchasing goods and services, or to
earn interest on their crypto holdings.
The use of stablecoins is surging rapidly, and regulators have grown
increasingly concerned that they are not in fact stable, and could lead to a
digital-era bank run. Just this year, dollar-tied stablecoins such as USD Coin
have jumped from $30 billion in circulation in January to about $125 billion as
of mid-September.
Stablecoins now underpin a growing share of cryptocurrency transactions
globally, at a time when the total value of outstanding crypto tokens like
Bitcoin is about $2
trillion - roughly the same value as that of all United States dollars
in
circulation.

The New Department Store? Let's Hope
Is Bloomie's the future of department stores?
The concept store may prove the company's
agility and ability to bring in new audiences
 The
next generation of department store concepts may be located in Fairfax,
Virginia.
Armed with a smaller footprint (22,000 square feet), a stylish selection of
products and a tech-savvy space, Bloomingdale's new Northern Virginia location,
Bloomie's, could point to a new direction for the sector. Or, at the very least,
an alternative path.
The
store features a "tech-enabled stylist service model," and offers men's and
women's apparel, shoes, accessories, activewear and beauty. It also has a
returns dropbox, in-store and curbside pickup, alteration services and a front
desk that answers customers' style needs. The store frequently rotates trends,
hosts activations and features merchandise carts, which prompt product
discovery. It also offers drinks and Cuban food via a local cafe, Colada Shop.
But will a smaller space, cocktails and coffee, and the ability to drop off
online returns be enough to re-engage customers and get them excited about
department store shopping?

ALL-TAG Delivers New, Meaningful "Eco-Friendly" Innovation in AM (Acousto-Magnetic)
Security Labels
ALL-TAG, an American manufacturer of RF Labels, and a leading supplier of
AM Anti-theft Security Tags, Security Labels, and other loss prevention
products, announces the development of the industry's first eco-friendly, AM (acousto-magnetic)
anti-theft label. AM technology is a critical and core loss-prevention
technology utilized widely across leading retailers and their consumer good
manufacturing partners.
&uuid=(email))
BOCA RATON, FLA. --
ALL-TAG, an American
manufacturer of RF Labels, and a leading supplier of AM Anti-theft Security
Tags, Security Labels, and other loss prevention products, announces the
development of the industry's first eco-friendly, AM (acousto-magnetic)
anti-theft label. AM technology is a critical and core loss-prevention
technology utilized widely across leading retailers and their consumer good
manufacturing partners.
Now produced with an 80% average weight of recycled plastics in our AM labels,
an industry first, ALL-TAG's plastics composition is certified by Intertek and
the Global Recycled Standard for using a majority of post-consumer recycled
material in production. This upgrade will greatly reduce new plastics
consumption for multi-billion unit disposable AM labels utilized annually in
retail, a key sustainability focus for the retail industry.
ALL-TAG is already
progressively switching all of their retail approved, proven AM label production
to this eco-friendly standard.
 "We
are very proud of this new development," commented ALL-TAG's Vice President of
Sales, Andy Gilbert. "It's important to note, our retailer and consumer good
partners will not acquire any cost-increases, nor experience impact to our
standard operations and deliveries."
"ALL-TAG also uniquely offers the only narrow AM label available in roll-format,
for high-speed applications. Engineering hurdles from all global suppliers
relegated narrow versions of AM label technology to expensive, hand
applications, not feasible for many high-volume supply chains," commented ALL-TAG's
Director of EAS Solutions, Joshua Simmons. "We overcame these hurdles, & our
patent protected narrow AM label roll is proven to function reliably &
seamlessly across existing high-speed machine applicators leveraged at product
manufacturers & their packagers today. This high-speed applied narrow label
innovation expands application options for implementing a narrower version of
this proven loss prevention technology, requiring about 30% less plastic and
glue to produce, furthering environmental impact reduction while providing more
valuable marketing space when the AM label serves as a visible theft deterrent
for high-shrink products."
Now leveraging our patented quadruple resonator performance in the narrow label
housing (another industry first), lab tests and retailer approvals have
confirmed comparable performance to its larger, premium performance
counterparts.

NRF Cybersecurity Blog
Retailers prepare for ransomware threats
Incident response exercise convened NRF
members to share insights and best practices
Every business sector faces risks of ransomware attacks. The risks to retail
include disrupted in-store operations or online sales fulfillment and being
locked out of inventory management or financial systems. In more recent cases,
ransomware attackers are carrying out a "double extortion" scheme - stealing
companies' valuable information and threatening to sell it or release it
publicly if the ransom is not paid.
Retailers need to undertake measures to prevent ransomware attacks, including
training employees about phishing emails and increasing the use of multi-factor
authentication for information systems. They also need to ensure they have
secure and up-to-date backups of critical systems and data; if companies have
backed up their data, they are less vulnerable to the pressure to pay a ransom.
Retailers can also hold incident response exercises - involving all parts of
leadership, not just cybersecurity teams - and ask the questions they will face
under time pressure during a ransomware event: How do I determine the scope of a
potential attack, and how can I validate this information? Who should I contact
externally when an incident takes place? How do I handle customer and media
inquiries? What factors should I consider in deciding whether or not to pay the
ransom?

Microsoft Calls Out 'PaaS For Dummies' -
Making it Easy
This phishing-as-a-service operation is responsible for many attacks against
businesses, says Microsoft
 A
phishing operation hides in plain sight and turns credential theft into a
consumer product.
Microsoft is shining a light on a phishing-as-a-service operation that's selling
fake login pages for cloud services like OneDrive that help non-technical
cybercriminals steal business user passwords and usernames.
Phishing kits are nothing new, but this phishing-as-a-service service caught the
attention of Microsoft's security teams because it lowers the bar to quality
phishing even more.
That business, called BulletProofLink and a few other names, provides email and
web site templates as phishing kits do, but also offers email delivery, hosting
services, credential theft. It also claims to provide 'fully undetected' (FUD)
links and logs and is available for purchase as a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or
annual subscription.

DDoS attacks are becoming more prolific and more powerful, warn cybersecurity
researchers
A report warns about a rise in DDoS attacks
as cyber criminals get more creative with ways to make campaigns more
disruptive.
There's been a rise in
distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in recent months in what
cybersecurity researchers say is a record-breaking number of incidents.
According to a
report by cybersecurity researchers at Netscout, there were 5.4 million
recorded DDoS attacks during the first half of 2021 - a figure that represents
an 11% rise compared with the same period last year.
A
DDoS attack is a crude but effective form of cyberattack that sees attackers
flood the network or servers of the victim with a wave of internet traffic
that's so large that the infrastructure is overwhemed by the number of requests
for access, slowing down services or taking them fully offline and preventing
legitimate users from accessing the service at all.
In some cases, DDoS attacks are simply designed to cause disruption with those
behind the attacks just launching them because they can. However, in other
instances there's also an extortion element at play, with
attackers threatening to launch a DDoS attack against a victim if they don't
give into a demand for payment.

Gangs Just Switching Black Hats?
NEW Ransomware Gang - BlackMatter Pops Up
BlackMatter claims to fill the gap that
DarkSide and REvil left behind
And uses the best tools and techniques of both groups, as well as LockBit 2.0,
to do it. Researchers have been analyzing BlackMatter since it emerged, and an
increasing number of reports have found connections between these groups.
After an affiliate of DarkSide ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group hit
Colonial Pipeline in a
major attack earlier this year that led to supply chain disruption and major
headlines, the group confirmed it would shut down its operation. Its
servers were seized, and cryptocurrency wallets drained. REvil, the group
linked to the
Kaseya attack, disappeared from the Internet soon after.
EN: With some claiming Putin may have played a part in shutting
them down after Biden's conversation and threatened sanctions. With the FBI
Director denying it this past week. But now it appears they're just popping back
up with a new name.
"The coding style is remarkably similar to DarkSide and, in our opinion,
the people behind it are either the same or have a very close relationship,"
wrote McAfee's Alexandre Mundo, senior malware analyst, and Marc Elias, security
researcher, in a recent
blog post on their findings.
Since the group emerged, there have been 44 submissions
to ID Ransomware that indicate BlackMatter attacks. Emsisoft
estimates only 25% of victims submit data to ID Ransomware, meaning
there may have been 176 BlackMatter incidents since
the group began.
Large Targets & A Not Touch Policy
Researchers also say the group has published the stolen data from 10
organizations on its leak site. BlackMatter appears to target large and
well-resourced organizations; its victims have been in the US, UK,
Canada, Australia, India, Brazil, Chile, and Thailand. Operators say they
will not target hospitals, critical infrastructure such as nuclear power
plants and water treatment facilities, defense industry, government sector,
nonprofits, and the oil and gas industry.
BlackMatter was most recently associated with the attack
on New Cooperative, a farm services provider in Iowa that was hit this past
weekend.

Russian-Linked Group Using Secondary Backdoor Against Targets
A Russian-linked group known as Turla has been deploying a secondary backdoor

Cisco Talos this week.

Vaults vs. Safes for Cannabis Storage
Differences in Secure Storage for Cannabis Businesses
 Choosing
a method of
secure storage is an important part of designing a cannabis facility,
but not every facility has the same needs when it comes to secure storage. Small
and large cannabis businesses have different requirements when it comes to
secure storage and, depending on the location of the business, regulations may
dictate which method of secure storage should be used.
The main two choices
for cannabis secure storage are
vaults and
safes, but these
can vary drastically in quality, cost, and function. Sometimes, regulatory
authorities will specify more than just which method of secure storage cannabis
businesses will use. Regulations may require certain building materials or lock
types, like in
Denver where vaults are now required to be reinforced with plywood or steel
mesh and utilize a
multi-point
single motion locking system.
"It's best to know what form of secure storage you should implement from the
beginning," says Sapphire Senior Security Consultant
Haley Glover.
"When observing the amount of cannabis businesses that are operational in
Denver, it can potentially be
extremely costly for those
businesses to have to go back and either exchange a safe that is not up to
regulation or even have a new install of a safe because of poor storage
practices."
Though there are many excellent methods of secure storage available, choosing
the wrong one or implementing it incorrectly could make the business more
susceptible to theft or loss. Additionally, cannabis is also prone to
deterioration when
stored
improperly and must be maintained within set environmental conditions.
When designing and building
out a cannabis facility, cannabis business owners should consult with security
experts who understand the differences in secure storage methods for cannabis.

Amazon Ramps Up Pro-Weed Campaign
Amazon Is Lobbying the U.S. to Legalize Weed
The tech giant wants you to know it's on the right
side of history when it comes to everybody's favorite herb.
Amazon is ramping up its pro-weed campaign, announcing on Tuesday that it is
actively lobbying for
legislative reforms aimed at decriminalization and reaffirming its commitment to
not screening job applicants for cannabis.
 Beth
Galetti, Amazon's senior vice president of human resources, declared in a
blog post the
company's support for two pieces of legislation aimed at decriminalizing
cannabis nationwide.
The move comes amid expanding legalization
at the state level, with 36 states allowing some level of public access to
cannabis and 18 states plus Washington, DC, legalizing recreational adult use.
The first is the
Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2021 (MORE Act),
introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, which would
remove cannabis from the federal government's list of controlled substances,
effectively decriminalizing it at the federal level. The bill also
seeks to create new investment programs for communities that have been
disproportionately affected by cannabis-related incarceration and policing,
while also seeking to expunge relevant criminal records. The bill was previously
introduced and
passed the House last year in a historic vote before ultimately stalling in
the then Republican-controlled Senate. Nadler reintroduced the bill in May,
adding some modifications.
The other proposed law that Amazon is supporting is the
Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act-a
bill introduced by prominent Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck
Schumer, as well as Sens. Cory Booker and Ron Wyden.
The legislation would
similarly seek to
legalize and regulate weed,
while also providing funds to state governments to be used in expunging criminal
records related to cannabis-related convictions at the state level.

Expanding Retail Marijuana in Chicago
Chicago to allow expansion of recreational marijuana stores
Chicago is
easing zoning restrictions that will allow recreational marijuana stores to
expand. The City
Council on Monday voted to lift the cap of seven marijuana zones in the
municipality while limiting the number of retail stores, Chicago real estate
news site The Real Deal reported.
The city, the largest in
Illinois, has permitted 18
adult-use cannabis retailers so far; there are 110 statewide.
The approved proposal will also shrink the downtown zone where marijuana
retailers aren't allowed to operate, though they'll still be banned from opening
on a strip between Michigan Avenue and State Street as well as south Michigan
Avenue.
Marijuana retailers can
now open without special approval from Chicago regulators.
Retailers will be permitted where manufacturing operations are allowed
as long as they are 650 feet
from a residence.

Getting World-Wide Media Coverage
Facebook spent billions on safety, security over past 5 years
Biggest Security Investment on the Globe?
Facebook said on Tuesday that it had invested more than $13 billion on
efforts to ramp up its security measures in the last five years, according
to
a blog post on Facebook.
The social media platform also said it now has 40,000 employees working on
safety and security, a figure that has quadrupled from 10,000 employees
working on the matter in 2016, according to
Reuters.
Facebook played down the negative effects on young users of its Instagram app
and had a weak response to alarms raised by employees over how the platform is
used in developing countries by human traffickers, the Wall Street Journal
reported last week, citing a review of internal company documents. (Read
more)
"In the past, we didn't address safety and security challenges early enough in
the product development process,"
the company said in a blog post.
"But we have fundamentally changed that approach."
Facebook said its artificial intelligence technology has helped it block 3
billion fake accounts in the first half of this year. The company also
removed more than 20 million pieces of false COVID-19 and vaccine content.
The company said it now removes 15 times more content that violates its
standards on hate speech across Facebook and its image-sharing platform
Instagram than when it first began reporting it in 2017.

Amazon's Quotas Take Major Hit Over Health & Safety
Every one else to follow - Redefining warehouse quotas
California governor signs bill that could push Amazon to change labor practices
 Gov.
Gavin Newsom of California on Wednesday signed
a bill that restricts warehouse employers from setting productivity quotas
that prevent workers from taking breaks or following health and safety laws.
The new law could alter
Amazon's labor practices.
The bill, known as A.B. 701,
also requires employers
to disclose productivity quotas
to workers and regulators and allows workers to sue employers to eliminate
problematic targets. Starting on Jan. 1, employers will have 30 days to give
workers their productivity quotas.
But business groups
strongly opposed the bill, arguing that it would lead to an explosion of
litigation and hamper the distribution of goods.
"We are disappointed
Governor Newsom signed A.B. 701,
which will exacerbate our current supply chain issues, increase the cost of
living for all Californians and eliminate good-paying jobs," Rachel Michelin,
the president of the
California Retailers Association,
said in a statement.
Two
separate
studies, including
one by a
group
backed by labor unions,
have shown that the rate at which Amazon workers suffer serious
injuries was nearly double that of the rest of the warehousing industry
last year.

Stores to Play a Major Role in the Future of Ecommerce
The next stage in the evolution of online sales
paradoxically involves physical stores to quite a large extent.
"Where we're moving to, it's not going to be siloed into physical and digital,"
says Matt Maher, the founder of technology-focused consultancy
M7 Innovations.
"It's going to be one customer experience, and [shoppers] are going to want what
they want, when they want it, wherever they want it." Key to success will be the
ability to offer a unified, seamless flow, from online to brick-and-mortar and
back again. That means having one system of record for customer data that all
other systems can tap into, according to Emily Pfeiffer, a senior analyst at
Forrester.
"[Store] retailers and digital businesses still talk about the experiences they
create as if they are two separate things," Pfeiffer states, "but customers
don't think about it that way. [Consumers] have an experience with a brand or a
retailer-it's all tied together, whether they're in an app, in a store, online,
talking to someone or calling. And if they have an interaction in one channel
that the next channel is unaware of, they feel like they're not understood, not
respected by that retailer. That omnichannel view of understanding is terribly
important."
"My biggest advice to retailers," she adds, "is to break down the silos and
build partnerships that continue to blur the lines, because when [business
units] stay in their own tunnel of singular experience with the consumer,
they're limiting themselves."

Defendants Face 130 years, 244 years & 514 years
in prison for stealing Cable TV
DOJ: NJ, NY, CA Defendants Indicted for $30M Nationwide Copyrighted IPTV Theft
Scheme
 PHILADELPHIA
- Bill Omar Carrasquillo, 35, of Swedesboro, NJ; Jesse Gonzales, 42, of Pico
Rivera, CA; and Michael Barone, 36, of Richmond Hill, NY, were charged by
Indictment with crimes arising out of a wide-ranging and lucrative copyright
infringement scheme.
From about March 2016 until at least November 2019, the defendants
operated a large-scale internet protocol television (IPTV) theft scheme
in which they
fraudulently obtained cable television accounts and then resold copyrighted
content to thousands of their own subscribers,
who could then stream or playback content. The defendants also allegedly made
fraudulent misrepresentations to banks and merchant processors in an effort to
obtain merchant processing accounts. During the period of their scheme,
the defendants earned more than $30 million.
In total and if convicted, Mr. Barone faces a
maximum possible sentence of 130 years in prison,
as well as supervised release, fines, restitution, and asset forefeiture. Mr.
Gonzales faces a maximum
possible sentence of 244 years in prison,
as well as supervised release, fines, restitution, and and asset forfeiture. Mr.
Carrasquillo faces a
maximum possible sentence of 514 years in prison,
as well as supervised release, fines, restitution, and asset forfeiture.
"You can't just go and
monetize someone else's copyrighted content with impunity,"
said Bradley S. Benavides, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's
Philadelphia Division. "That's the whole point of securing a copyright. Theft is
theft, and if you're going to willfully steal another party's intellectual
property, the FBI stands ready to step in and shut you down."

Leader of statewide fake check scheme sentenced to 44 months in prison
BILLINGS - The leader of a fraudulent check scheme in which recruits would steal
items with personal information from homes, vehicles and mail boxes to help pass
bogus checks across Montana was sentenced on Tuesday to 44 months in prison to
be followed by three years of supervised release.
"Rathie recruited local
drug addicts
to burglarize houses, automobiles, and mail boxes and steal mail and other
materials so she could fraudulently cash checks using the victim's stolen
identification. They stole and converted amounts that they knew would not
attract the attention of local law enforcement.
From November 2019 until about May 2020, Rathie conducted a campaign to steal
checks and personal identifying information to commit fraud using fake checks in
Billings and throughout the state.
After obtaining a stolen check, Rathie altered it by replacing the original name
on the check with one of the names from the identities she had stolen from the
hotel or elsewhere. Rathie would then create a fake driver's license with the
stolen person's name. The fake license would have Rathie's image or the image of
an associate. Rathie or an associate would then
pass the check at local businesses and use it to buy gift cards or high value
items.
Rathie would give individuals who stole the materials a cut of the proceeds.
Surveillance video recorded Rathie passing some of the fake checks. In a search
of her residence, officers found a large trove of fake identities, stolen
documentation, computer, printers and stolen checks.
The loss calculated from checks passed by Rathie was $17,609.

9 Women Busted For $177,119 in Cosmetic Services Fraud
5 Get Fed Prison - 3 Awaiting Sentencing - 2 Home
Detention
DOJ: Two South Florida Women Sentenced to Federal Prison for Roles In
Orchestrating Credit Card Fraud Conspiracy
Miami, FL - Two south Florida women were sentenced yesterday for their roles in
a conspiracy to fraudulently obtain credit cards that they and other individuals
used to purchase over $100,000 of personal cosmetic services.
Sheena Ceasar, 35, of Coconut Creek, and Dekita Bellamy, 37, of Coral Springs,
were each sentenced to terms of imprisonment of 44 months and 32 months,
respectively, with each term of imprisonment to be followed by three years
of supervised release. Judge Altman ordered forfeiture and restitution of
$82,151.50 as to Ceasar and $94,968 as to Bellamy. Both defendants
previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit access device fraud and
aggravated identity theft.
Bellamy and Ceasar carried out the conspiracy by purloining personally
identifiable information (PII) of unsuspecting victims, including names, social
security numbers, and dates of birth, to apply for and receive credit cards. In
addition to using the credit cards to purchase cosmetic services for
themselves, defendants reaped ill-gotten gains by supplying the cards to
co-conspirators so they could purchase expensive cosmetic services in
exchange for a fee, which was typically half the value of the desired service.
Seven other co-conspirators have been charged with, and pleaded guilty to,
federal felonies in connection with this criminal activity:

DOJ: Miami Man Sentenced To 8 Years In Federal Prison For Committing $650,000 In
Credit Card Fraud
Tampa, Florida - U.S. District Judge Thomas Barber today sentenced Andre
Moore (37, Miami) to eight years in federal prison for credit card fraud and
aggravated identity theft. The Court also ordered Moore to pay $650,145.03 in
restitution and to forfeit $3,110.55, related to the counts on which he was
convicted.
Moore stole the identities of more than 100 individuals. Between September 2019
and May 2020, Moore used those stolen identities to make more than $650,000 in
purchases at retail stores in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. Moore
used fraudulent driver licenses and ID cards to open store credit card accounts
under the stolen identities and to re-open dormant store credit card accounts.
Moore took advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic, making thousands of dollars in
purchases while people were in lockdown, including using the stolen accounts to
purchase items that were scarce early on in the pandemic. Further, Moore
committed the fraud while living under a fake identity and, upon his federal
arrest, lied about his name and identity to both federal agents and the Court.

Shootings & Deaths
Gresham, OR: Arrest In Deadly Shooting Outside Gresham Walmart
The suspect who police say shot and killed a man outside the Gresham Walmart
store on Monday night has been arrested. Police were called to the parking lot
on West Powell near 182nd Avenue around 6:15pm. The victim is identified as
38-year-old Dashawn Hudson of Portland. Detectives identified the suspect and
arrested 26-year-old Daniel Hipshman of Portland early Wednesday morning. He's
charged with Murder II and Unlawful Use of a Weapon. Investigators have not said
what led to the shooting or if the men knew each other. Hudson's wife said she
and the kids went outside after hearing gunshots from inside the store and
discovered her husband had been killed. An autopsy showed he died of two gunshot
wounds to the upper torso. A pistol-like BB gun was found near Hudson's body,
and his wife confirmed that he kept a BB gun in the car.

St Paul, MN: Man arrested for robbery after threatening Walmart associate at
register
A Hutchinson man is charged with robbery after allegedly threatening a Walmart
employee in West St. Paul and taking money from a cash register.
Thirty-nine-year-old Richard Mouneu was arrested near the store Monday shortly
after the incident. According to a criminal complaint, a man matching Mouneu's
description feigned purchasing a CD, and when the employee scanned it, he told
her to "open the register or he would hurt her." The employee told investigators
the man then reached for his waistband, making her think he had a weapon. She
opened the register and fled immediately. The man took money from the drawer and
left the store. Officers took Mouneu into custody, and the employee identified
him as the suspect. Mouneu had $760 cash and a glass pipe with trace amounts of
methamphetamine in it, according to the complaint.

Albuquerque, NM: Thief who brutally beat a Gas Station attendant arrested
Bernalillo County deputies have arrested a man that was caught on video brutally
beating a gas station attendant. Deputies say Courtney Mccalep walked into the
Speedway near Fourth and Osuna earlier this month. When asked for an ID to buy
alcohol, they say he walked away and the female attendant followed him. That's
when Mccalep punched her, pushed her down then kicked and stomped on her head.
Another person tried to step in and that's when Mccalep punched them. Mccalep
was on pre-trial services from an incident last year where deputies say he beat
a man with a crowbar after a crash in a parking lot.

The importance of staying focused and positive in your job search can't be over
emphasized. Even when you're networking keep it positive and never network
without asking for another contact name at the companies you're looking at.
Operators, Human Resource executives, other Loss Prevention executives, anyone
that is in a management position with the companies you're interested in
joining. We'd also suggest visiting some stores and trying to meet the Loss
Prevention team and finding out more about their LP efforts, structure,
management individuals, and just plain getting to know that companies LP culture
and never leave without leaving a copy of your resume. Every successful
marketing campaign has a grass roots methodology and getting into some stores is
just that. If done correctly I assure you the multi unit LP executives will find
out who you are and respect you for doing it.
Just a Thought,
Gus
