Protecting America's Shopping Centers
Louisiana State University's Academy of Counter Terrorism Education Recertifies
Shopping Center Security Terrorism Awareness Program
International Council of
Shopping Centers (ICSC) & LSU Partnership
LSU NCBRT/ACE, in close partnership with the
International Council of Shopping
Centers (ICSC), has offered the Shopping Center Security Terrorism Awareness
Training Program for 10 years.
  The
five-hour course funded through LSU NCBRT/ACE's DHS's Homeland Security National
Training Program is designed to provide shopping center security professionals
knowledge to help prevent and mitigate potential terrorist attacks at shopping
centers.
According to NCBRT Associate Director Jason Krause, shopping center security
remains a top concern for many in the emergency response community.
"'We have really enjoyed the partnership with ICSC and I believe together we have
increased the robustness of the shopping center security community's capability
in regards to terrorism and other active threats," Krause said. "'This year marks
the third update and DHS recertification for the course. The Shopping Center
Program has had record participation in 2019 with just under 3,000 students
this year. We are excited to celebrate our 20,000th completion
sometime in the next few months."
Editor's Note: This is a continuation of our series on 'The Current
State of Security at America's Malls and Shopping Centers'. Read our
coverage from last week on the efforts of ICSC, which includes a list of
security training resources for retailers and property owners, an upcoming Oct.
10 webinar on "Consumer Safety in Shopping Centers", and more.
If you would like to get involved and share what your team, company, or
organization is doing to help protect or respond to security incidents in malls

U.S. Attorney Chapa Lopez Announces Progress In Making Communities Safer Through
Project Safe Neighborhoods
FBI Uniform Crime Report Shows 3.9% Drop in
Violent Crime in 2018
Two years ago, the Department of Justice announced the revitalization and
enhancement of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the centerpiece of the
department's violent crime reduction strategy. PSN is an evidence-based program
proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum
of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime
problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them.
As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent
offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for
lasting reductions in crime.
"'The revitalized Project Safe Neighborhoods program is a major success," said
Attorney General William P. Barr. "'It packs a powerful punch by combining
advanced data with local leadership, further reducing violence in communities
across the country and improving overall public safety.

Security, NY incident leave some unsettled after 'Joker'
Extra layers of security, intense on-screen action and a frightening incident
inside a New York theater combined to create an unsettling experience for some
moviegoers who went to see "'Joker" on its opening weekend. A young man who was
loudly cheering and applauding on-screen murders sent some people heading toward
exits in a crowded theater in Manhattan's Times Square on Friday night.
Other patrons yelled at the man, who spit on them as they left early.
Social media users posted photos of police, security sweeps and safety notices
at theaters in California and Florida. And in Tennessee, a
drive-in theater banned moviegoers from wearing costumes to a screening of the
R-rated "'Joker," which set an all-time box-office record for an opening weekend
in October with $96 million.

Two OSHA Whistleblowers
OSHA: Four Idaho Dollar Tree Stores Fined $898,682
Exposing Workers to Hazards - Blocked Exits & Unsafe Stacking of Boxes
OSHA inspectors initially responded to a complaint alleging that a Dollar Tree
store in Boise was exposing employees to unstable stacks and piles of boxes in
the store's stockroom. Soon after, OSHA received another complaint alleging
similarly unsafe conditions at Dollar Tree locations in Caldwell, Nampa and
Meridian.
OSHA cited Dollar Tree for violations related to blocked aisles and exit routes,
unsafe storage and stacking of boxes, blocked electrical panels, improper use of
a ladder, and exposing workers to falls from heights. The citations can be
viewed
here.
"Dollar Tree Stores has a history of exposing their employees to safety and
health hazards," said Loren Sweatt, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Occupational Safety and Health. "Improper storage of merchandise creates
unnecessary risks for employees, while blocked exits pose serious risks to the
safety of employees and customers in an emergency."
The company has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and penalties to
comply, request an informal conference with OSHA's area director, or contest the
findings before the independent
Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

The History of the Loss Prevention Furniture Alliance
 Founded
by Patrick Burns, Vice President Loss Prevention at Bob's Discount Furniture,
and Mike Case, Senior Director of Loss Prevention at Art Van Furniture, the
Loss Prevention Furniture Alliance (LPFA) focuses on protecting company assets,
improving profits, driving sales and improving operational efficiencies.
According to Case, "'even though we are competitors in the furniture retail
vertical, we have the same issues, concerns and challenges when it comes to
fighting fraud, internal and external theft, workplace violence, safety and even
logistics issues."
After a few months of networking, the LPFA was officially launched in December
of 2017 with participation from three furniture retailers and, in just two
years, has doubled to six. The group currently represents territories spanning
several hundred retail locations and numerous distribution facilities. In
addition to Bob's Discount Furniture and Art Van Furniture, other members come
from such companies as American Signature and American Freight & Furniture.
Additional growth is expected as the group continues to gain traction and trust
within the industry.

Behind the Scenes; The Warehouse/Logistics Industry is Booming
Warehouse Giant Blackstone Group Buys Colony Capital's 465 "Last Mile"
Warehouses
They have a total of 60 million square feet and are located in 26 U.S. markets,
with particular concentrations in Dallas, Atlanta, Florida, northern New Jersey
and California.

Blackstone, one of the world's biggest property investors, became one of the
largest owners of U.S. logistics properties in June when it purchased the U.S.
warehouses of Singapore-based GLP for $18.7 billion.
As
Reuters reports, "'companies are spending billions of dollars to snap up
logistics assets as a surge in e-commerce activity spurs demand for delivery and
warehouse services."
"'Last-mile logistics real estate continues to become an increasingly critical
component of the global supply chain," said Lew Friedland, managing director of
Colony Industrial.
Editor's Note: This will be the next big growth opportunity for the LP
industry and may exceed the cannabis industry new job growth. Between the two
we're looking at two major LP/AP job creators over the five to ten years. As it
will take that long for both to reach maturity. With the cannabis industry
growth probably out numbering the warehouse/logistics channel initially. This is
the #1 example of how new technology is actually creating jobs in retail. If you
include logistics in the retail sector.
The logistics channel will also be the fastest and retails biggest adapter of

How to make decisions like a U.S. general
Decisiveness is a key quality in a good leader. But effective leadership
requires more than that.
One of the most important jobs of a leader is to make decisions. While this
sounds straightforward, our brains aren't always willing to cooperate, say Leo Tilman and General Charles Jacoby, authors of
Agility: How to Navigate the Unknown and Seize Opportunity in a World of
Disruption.
"'We know from behavioral science, that human beings are naturally reluctant to
make decisions because of the fear that the downside of change is going
to outweigh the upside," says Tilman. "'There are deep evolutionary forces in
play, and leaders and organizations must devote a concerted effort to overcoming
them-and doing so consistently."
Decisiveness is the ability to make timely and gradual decisions when challenges
or opportunities arise. It requires taking deliberate action. "'A leader's first
responsibility is to make decisions," says Jacoby. "'It's the most important task
for a leader. The most difficult series of decisions to make are the ones where
there is an opportunity or a threat that's been detected that requires a
deliberate action on the part of the leader and the organization."

ALL-TAG Develops Customizable 31x32 mm SuperLabel Combines Security with
Omni-Channel Marketing
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 a customizable 31x32 mm SuperLabel®, a multi-purpose security
label that will increase source tagging compliance by allowing Consumer Goods
Manufactures (CGM) to promote their brand and enhance merchandising.
ALL-TAG's customizable security
label offers many printing options, such as brand logos, slogans, and QR
Codes. CGM's and other retail merchandise vendors that are required to source
tag their merchandise for various retailers can now use the security label as an
additional tool that will keep shoppers informed and ultimately increase sales
of their products.
 Our 31x32 mm SuperLabel is also equipped with patented technology that boosts
the detection performance of the label. Therefore, users of this smaller label
will not be sacrificing performance. The smaller footprint allows it to fit on
more retail product packaging, does not conceal important printed content on the
outside of the packaging.
"We're thrilled to have added new machines in our South Florida factory that
enable us to produce this product in the US," commented ALL-TAG's Vice President
of Sales, Andy Gilbert.
"Source taggers can now satisfy their source tagging requirements, but also make
the security label work for them as well." Gilbert continued, "This is a win for
everyone because it will increase source tagging compliance, decrease shrink,
and increase sales all at the same time."
To find out more about the product listed in this release, please visit
all-tag.com.

What the CFO's are reading:
Is Data Security Risk Crowding Out Other Priorities?
Research into finance executives' concerns consistently finds that they're
prioritizing the safety of data above all other matters.
It may be difficult to judge whether contemporary CFOs' tight focus on
data privacy and security is a value-add or a strictly defensive posture
that limits their engagement in value-add activities. Either way, study after
study shows that among the multitude of concerns finance chiefs must grapple
with today, it's become their chief one.
Most recently, management consulting firm Protiviti
surveyed 817 CFOs and other finance leaders worldwide, asking them to
prioritize 40 different aspects of finance. Participants rated each aspect on a
10-point scale. More than 8 in 10 (84%) of them rated data
privacy/security an 8, 9, or 10. Next on the list was enhanced
data analytics (79%).
CFOs' strong attention to this risk takes into account their awareness that data
breaches are commonplace today as well as a lack of confidence in their ability
to drive adequate defenses, according to Protiviti.
Unlike their handling of other financial-related risks and controls, Protiviti
noted, finance leaders typically rely on others - i.e., IT and security teams -
to articulate and implement specific controls for and protections against
cyber-risk.
That dynamic drives many CFOs to be involved in the process of procuring
cyber insurance to help mitigate this risk.
62% of CFOs and finance vice presidents said their budget for data privacy and
security increased for 2019, compared with 16% who said it decreased.

U.S. Department of Justice Asks Facebook Not to Implement End-to-End Encryption
The Department of Justice published an open letter to Facebook from
international law enforcement partners from the United States, United Kingdom
and Australia in response to the company's publicly announced plans to implement
end-to-end-encryption across its messaging services.
Addressed to Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, the letter requests that Facebook
not proceed with its end-to-end encryption plan without ensuring there will be
no reduction in the safety of Facebook users and others, and without
providing law enforcement court-authorized access to the content of
communications to protect the public, particularly child users.
securitymagazine.com
Acting Secretary McAleenan and Attorney General Barr Sign Letter to Facebook
from US, UK, and Australian Leaders Regarding Use of End-to-End Encryption
Use of end-to-end encryption, which allows messages to be decrypted only by end
users, leaves service providers unable to produce readable content in response
to wiretap orders and search warrants. This barrier allows criminals to avoid
apprehension by law enforcement by limiting access to crucial evidence in the
form of encrypted digital communications. The use of end-to-end encryption and
other highly sophisticated encryption technologies significantly hinders, or
entirely prevents serious criminal and national security investigations.

More than 60% of spam activities originate from US, Russia, Ukraine
First & largest publicly available 10 year dataset of its kind
Spamming activities that originated from the United States, Russia, and Ukraine
collectively contributed to more than 60% of all spam activities between 2007
to 2017, according to new cybersecurity insight developed by researchers
from CSIRO's Data61.
The
FinalBlacklist [PDF], announced at Data61+ Live on Wednesday, has been
created using a total of 51.6 million malicious online activity reports and
662,000 unique IP addresses worldwide.
Researchers at Data61 used machine learning techniques to categorise the
malicious activities examined as part of the report into six classes: malware,
phishing, fraudulent services, potentially unwanted programs, exploits, and
spamming.
The research also identified that the top three networks associated with
what was dubbed as the "highest lifestyle" - or as Kaafar explained
the most difficult threat to remove - had originated from China.
At the same time, Kaafar said the research observed how malware activities were
distributed across IP addresses, and pinpointed that one cloud server hosted
in Amazon was the "most repeated offender with high volumes of exploits".
Other trends that the research uncovered included how malicious activities
have consistently been the dominant class of cyberattacks over the decade
that was examined. It started with a couple of hundred reports a day, to
around a million activities a day," he said.
On phishing, the report showed how it started to emerge in 2009,
which coincided with the increased adoption of smartphones, and according to
Kaafar, phishing grew to a volume that represented almost 30% of all
malicious activity in 2017.
According to Kaafar, the analysis of the retrospective dataset will be made
publicly available to drive not only further research, but be used to
predict future cyberthreats.

'Inside the LPRC IMPACT Conference' 2018
An Eight-Episode Series Presented by
Sensormatic
Assessing The Real-World Impact of LP Efforts
The LPRC Delivers Evidence-Based Solutions and Actionable Results
New Retail Members
The Value - Expectations - Benefit - Why They Joined
Perry Resnick, Former Director,
Loss Prevention, Boot Barn
Lincoln LeFebvre, Senior Manager - Field Asset Protection, The Home Depot
Aaron Hancart, Director of Operations - Inventory Management, Lenscrafters
In our 7th episode, hear from one LP executive who's been involved in the Loss
Prevention Research Council for quite some time but with a recent move is
getting his new company and team involved in the LPRC; and two AP executives who
have been involved for a relatively short time but are engaged and adding value.
Long-term LPRC member Perry Resnick shares what factors went into his
decision to invest part of his operating budget in the LPRC, and how the group's
evidence-based research helps him in selling programs and obtaining capital from
his senior leadership.
Lincoln LeFebvre explains how LPRC's scientific approach takes emotion
out of the equation and gives you plausible solutions you can measure
immediately.
And Aaron Hancart talks about the importance of staying at the forefront
of industry research and results, and how LPRC's violent crime working groups
have been especially useful in his retail environment.

Online shopping: 'Easiest way' fraudsters can lure you into costly scams online
According to research by McAfee, 45 per cent of people have either fallen
victim or know someone who has fallen victim to online fraud or hacking,
resulting in money being stolen from their account. Last year, an average of
$893 per person was lost to these criminals in the UK, the findings show.
McAfee said that one respondent reported that over $59,000 was stolen from their
bank account.
Avoid "'too good to be true" deals
Here's the reality: if a deal seems too good to be true, it often is.
Always connect with caution
Public Wi-Fi might seem like a good idea, but if consumers are not careful, they
could be unknowingly exposing personal information or credit card details to
cybercriminals who are snooping on the network.
Think before you click
One of the easiest ways for a cybercriminal to compromise their victim is by
using phishing emails to lure consumers into clicking links for products or
services that could lead to malware, or a phony website designed to steal
personal information.
Browse with security protection
As our daily activities become more ingrained in our digital lives, it is
important to keep everything protected. A comprehensive security solution can
help ensure that your devices are protected against malware, phishing attacks
and device-specific protection in the event of loss or theft.

Online holiday shopping to overtake in-store for first time, survey finds
 In
its annual Holiday Outlook, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP found that 54 percent
of respondents will opt for the convenience of their smartphones, laptops and
PCs, and even in-home voice assistants, compared with 50 percent last year.
Retailers have been beefing up their online capabilities for years by investing
in e-commerce websites, mobile apps and delivery services to boost digital
sales. This year, Americans are spending about 6.3 hours a day using digital
media, up 7 percent from last year, PwC said in the outlook, citing Mary
Meeker's annual Internet Trends report from June.
As e-commerce takes up more of the market, retailers with a brick-and-mortar
focus including Forever 21, Barneys New York and Diesel USA have sought
bankruptcy protection. Others, including Payless ShoeSource and Charlotte Russe,
have shut down completely.

Port Charlotte, FL: Woman hides in store's ceiling to avoid shoplifting arrest
 A
Florida woman faces multiple charges after authorities say she climbed into the
ceiling of a Big Lots store to avoid a shoplifting arrest. A Charlotte County
Sheriff's Office news release says 37-year-old Kristina Perkins went into the
store's restroom on Friday and removed some tiles so she could climb into the
ceiling. Deputies removed tiles from several spots in a five-hour effort to
catch Perkins. The news release says she ignored commands to come down and
instead moved to other sections of the ceiling. A deputy stayed behind when the
search was called off and saw Perkins climbing down from the ceiling. She was
arrested on charges of criminal mischief, petit theft and resisting law
enforcement.

Getting advice from trusted friends, family members,
co-workers and former bosses is always a great thing to do and, quite frankly,
it can help you to see more clearly. But remember, at the end of the day it's
your decision to make and it's your decision that you have to live with. Your
friends, co-workers, and former bosses won't be living with the consequences,
but your family will be. So you've got to be more sensitive to their advice.
Advice is easy to give, hard to follow and almost impossible to live up to. And
everyone has a lot of advice to give; it's the easiest thing to give. Just
remember, at 5 a.m. after all the advice has been given, the mirror may be where
the answer lies.
Just a Thought,
Gus
