Protos Security Whitepaper
Leveraging Law Enforcement and Security Measures to Combat
ORC
 Organized
retail crime (ORC) poses a significant challenge to law
enforcement and society as a whole. While it is well known
that financial losses, public safety concerns, and broader
societal impacts are all part of these issues, it is
challenging to find a solution as crime rates continue to
rise. The purpose of this whitepaper is to explore the role
of law enforcement in combating organized retail crime.
Retailers and consumers alike are negatively affected, which
results in billions of dollars in losses each year. In order
to effectively address this issue, law enforcement must work
collaboratively with retailers and other stakeholders.
We present strategies and recommendations to enhance the
fight against ORC, contributing to the protection of
businesses and the safety of communities. A number of
challenges associated with ORC are outlined, as well as
strategies and best practices that retailers should follow
to collaborate effectively with law enforcement and other
stakeholders. The whitepaper also discusses solutions and
strategies to combat this growing problem.

role in creating a safer environment for society and
communities while reducing organized retail crime.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
California's ORC Task Force Planning
Holiday Operations
Law enforcement focus turns to shopping safety
Members of the California Highway Patrol's (CHP) Organized Retail Crime
Task Force (ORCTF) will conduct proactive law enforcement operations
during the busy holiday season. This past week, Governor Gavin
Newsom announced new data showing the task force has made over 1,200
arrests, conducted 677 investigations, and recovered over $9.3 million
worth of stolen items since January. Year-to-date, this is the most
investigations the CHP has conducted in the task force's six-year
history.
"California continues to crack down on organized crime. The CHP
officers facilitating this effort are hard at work each day, and will
continue to protect and serve California's consumers through the
holiday," said Gov. Newsom.
"Through our unwavering dedication and collaboration, the Organized
Retail Theft Task Force has established a new standard in combating
theft, achieving record-breaking results in investigations, arrests, and
asset recovery," said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee. "As we approach
the holiday shopping season, we will work diligently to enforce
California's organized retail crime laws and protect businesses and
communities throughout the state."
During the holiday season, the CHP will conduct proactive and
confidential law enforcement operations with allied agencies -
keeping more shoppers, merchants, and retail districts safe. The
increased law enforcement presence across California aims to protect
shoppers and merchants while apprehending retail criminals in the act.
To curb retail crime during the holiday shopping season, the CHP's ORCTF
regional teams in Southern California, the Bay Area, the San Joaquin
Valley, and Sacramento are partnering with retailers, loss
prevention teams, and local law enforcement agencies.
Since the inception of the task force in 2019, the CHP has been
involved in over 3,000 investigations, leading to the arrest of more
than 3,300 suspects and the recovery of over 900,000 stolen goods valued
at $47.4 million. The ORTCF's October efforts led to 56 criminal
investigations, 98 arrests, and nearly 26,000 stolen items recovered -
leading to greater enforcement in each category compared to the previous
month.

Chicago Lowering Felony Theft
Threshold to $300
Store owners say new State's Attorney O'Neill Burke's tightening of
felony retail theft rules is much welcome
With Eileen O'Neill Burke now officially sworn in as Cook County State's
Attorney, big changes are expected in how retail theft cases are
charged and handled.
The $1,000 threshold to make retail theft a felony crime-which
was set by O'Neill Burke's predecessor, Kim Foxx-will be dropping to
$300, effective immediately.
This change in how retail theft cases are charged is music to the
ears of small business owners-who say all thefts hurt, and the new
rules should help.
Organized retail thefts have been caught on camera and made the news
with troubling regularity over the past few years. The short-term
consequence is stores being left to count their losses and make costly
repairs. The long-term consequence can involve those stores going out of
business-and leaving spaces vacant.
When it comes to retail theft, the problem, the aftermath, and the loss
have all been caught on video numerous times.
With theft, across Chicago, at a high we haven't seen since 2019, newly
sworn-in top Cook County prosecutor O'Neill Burke said it is time to
do away with the rule change that Foxx made regarding retail thefts.
"The State's Attorney's Office will be following state law, which
sets the threshold for charging retail theft as a felony at $300,"
Burke said in a statement.

Cities Put More Funding Toward Retail
Theft Crackdown
Spokane City Council considers $90,000 grant to crack down on retail
theft
The Spokane Police Department is working hard to crack down on retail
theft this holiday season and could soon be given an extra boost. A
Washington State Department of Commerce $90,000
grant has been awarded to SPD in contract with the Washington Organized
Retail Crime Association.
"The Washington Organized Retail Crime Association actually applied for
the grant through the Department of Commerce, and they were granted this
funding. They have been working with Spokane Police Department for a
while on our retail thefts, we've done blitzes before, and they saw it
as an opportunity to partner," said Captain Tracie Meidl with the
Spokane Police Department.
SPD is now waiting for the Spokane City Council to approve the
acceptance of the grant. This grant would fund a retail theft pilot
program where officers would work on combating retail theft across the
city.
This is something SPD does already, especially during the holidays.
Officials call this strategy a 'blitz', where 10-20 officers are
stationed in a certain area to combat retail theft.
"We communicate with all the loss prevention and managers from those
stores in those areas to make sure that they know we're in the area,"
said SPD Sergeant Brian Eckersley. "We get in direct communication with
them so if they have a known shoplifter enter their store, or they had
somebody just grab something and run out, they can just call us directly
and we'll have units in the area to respond."
Several retail stores told 4 News Now these blitzes are beneficial in
reducing theft.

$25M Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against
Walmart
Family planning on suing Walmart, officer in deadly Westside shooting
 The
family of a man killed by an off-duty officer outside a Corpus Christi
Walmart is working to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the
officer and the retail giant.
After meeting exclusively with the family of 34-year-old, Alan Garcia,
who was shot and killed outside a Walmart near Greenwood and SPID last
month, KRIS 6 News learned they are seeking $25
million in damages and pointing the finger of blame directly at the
officer who pulled the trigger and Walmart itself.
Garcia was shot and killed Nov. 24 while trying to meet his wife,
Raquel, who worked at the Walmart. Investigators said Garcia was
suspected of shoplifting. The family's attorney disputes that allegation.
The wrongful death lawsuit claims the CCISD officer violated Walmart's
no-chase policy. According to the family, Garcia was sitting in his
car, waiting for his wife, when the officer shot him.
"Law enforcement is supposed to protect you. Why couldn't he just have tased him? Why couldn't you just get my license plate and find the car
later? I feel like if I had gotten out in time, this wouldn't have
happened." Raquel Garcia said.
A spokesperson for Walmart issued a statement said, "We do not speak to
our safety and security measures, but I can tell you that associate
and customer safety is our top priority."

Finding Ways to Address Frontline
Worker Mental Health
Tactics for Addressing Mental Health for Frontline Workers
Find creative ways to engage
employees through in-person conversations or on-the-job moments, advises
the Health Action Alliance.
Meet workers where they are:
Traditional communication methods like emails might not reach all
employees, especially frontline workers. Find creative ways to engage
employees through in-person conversations or on-the-job moments during
their workday.
Incentivize participation: Financial
incentives like reduced premiums or HSA contributions can encourage
employees and their families to engage with wellness programs.
Offer flexible access to mental health
resources: Provide multiple ways for employees to access
mental health support, including virtual, telephone, and in-person
options. Also, consider offering services that support all aspects of
employees' well-being, including mental health, financial wellness, and
caregiving responsibilities.
Promote community involvement through paid
volunteer time: Encourage employees to engage with their
communities by offering paid time off for volunteering. This strengthens
your organization's culture and allows employees to connect with causes
they care about, enhancing their sense of purpose and well-being.
Extend benefits to families:
Offering wellness and support programs to employees as well as their
spouses and dependents can significantly increase the reach and
effectiveness of these resources.

Where Does Your State Rank?
States Most Vulnerable to Identity Theft & Fraud (2025)
In recent years, significant data breaches have compromised many
Americans' personal information. U.S. consumers reported losing $10
billion to fraud in 2023, up $1 billion from the previous year. This
year, there have already been big data breaches at companies such as
Microsoft, AT&T, Change Healthcare and Ticketmaster.
Each new year brings new strategies from identity thieves and
fraudsters, but older schemes, such as tech support scams and fake IRS
calls, still abound. Some Americans are more susceptible to such
crimes than others, however. To determine who is most likely to be
exposed to and affected by identity theft and fraud, WalletHub compared
the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 14 key metrics. Our
data set ranges from identity theft complaints per capita to the average
loss due to fraud.
"In an age where we have sensitive data online in a multitude of places,
we risk falling victim to identity theft and fraud whenever there's a
data breach. Living in a state with robust legal protections against
identity theft and fraud, such as identity theft passports and
cybersecurity task forces, can decrease your risk of falling victim to
these crimes, though staying vigilant and protecting yourself online
is still the most important," said Chip Lupo, WalletHub Analyst.

Trump's Tariffs Make More Headlines in
Retail Publications
Off-price retailers aren't too worried about tariffs
Among the many advantages that
stores like TJX, Ross and Burlington have over mainstream retail
companies: some protection from protectionism.
Off-price retailers have yet another advantage over their competition:
a measure of protection against protectionism.
The nature of off-price retailers' merchandise pipelines - where much of
their assortment is obtained from retailers and brands offloading excess
inventory - serves as a cushion against tariffs. In fact, this
possibly gives them an advantage, according to analysts and the
companies themselves.
"We view off-price as relatively insulated from tariff risk given low
direct import exposure," Bank of America analysts Lorraine Hutchinson
and Melanie Nuñez said in a Nov. 14 research note. "Off-price
primarily sources product domestically, protecting them from taking
on a significant incremental tariff cost directly."

The crucial importance of store openings and renovations
When a store opens for business, everyone benefits - the retailer, the
landlord, and the community. The same can be said for when a store is
renovated.
It's a big reason why our teams at DLC, NWS Architects, and Renovo
Construction are specifically focused on getting stores open - or
reopened as the case may be - as quickly as possible. We want those
registers ringing. When a store is signed and not open, you haven't
accomplished the goal in the eyes of the consumer.

New Tag Recirculation Program Launched by Prosegur and Pact Retail Accessories,
Promising to Make EAS Programs More Efficient and Help Retailers Reach their ESG
Goals
DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. (October 21, 2024) -
Prosegur Security, a global leader in security technology, has formed a new
partnership with
Pact Retail Accessories, a global leader in sustainability solutions, to
launch a
new EAS tag recirculation program for U.S. retailers. The program aims to
help retailers make their electronic article surveillance (EAS) program more
efficient, protect more merchandise from shoplifting, reduce plastic waste, and
help retailers achieve their ESG (Environmental, Social and corporate
Governance) goals more easily.
"Our new EAS recirculation program will enable retailers to reuse their EAS tags
more easily and efficiently by having them quickly move used tags from the point
of sale at the retail store back to the point of manufacture overseas or
distribution center in the U.S.," said Matt Sack, CEO of
Prosegur's global retail business unit. "This next-level source tagging will
enable retailers to extend the lifespan of their tags, maximizing their
investment into EAS and reducing costs as well as reducing plastic waste."
Rather than having the retail associates sort, inspect and reapply tags to new
merchandise in the store, the new program will allow store associates to simply
place removed tags, pins and lanyards in a box without the need to sort them,
and ship the box back to Prosegur and Pact's sorting facilities. The tags, pins
and lanyards are sorted, inspected, cleaned, and repackaged, then shipped
quickly to the manufacturer (or the retailer's distribution facility) anywhere
in the world to be reapplied on new merchandise. When the new merchandise
arrives at the retail location, the tags are already on and can be placed on the
sales floor more quickly.
"The EAS tag recirculation program eliminates the need for store associates to
sort and reapply tags, thus freeing up their time for more productive tasks like
serving shoppers," said Nancy Justice, SVP, North America, Pact Retail
Accessories. "The program also helps to extend the life of EAS tags, reducing
the need to buy new tags. And, because new merchandise then arrives to stores
already tagged at the source, this can ensure that all stores have properly
protected merchandise, reducing the problems that can stem from non-compliance
by individual stores with the LP rules and guidelines."
According to Sack and Justice, by extending the lifespan of an average EAS tag,
Prosegur and Pact Retail Accessories will help retailers reduce the amount of
plastics ending up in landfills. This also helps retailers achieve their ESG
goals.
More information about this new program can be obtained at both
Prosegur's &
Pact Retail Accessories websites respectively.

Americans Companies Hit By Chinese
Attack
At least 8 US companies hit in telecom attack spree, officials say
A deputy national security advisor warned
that the China-affiliated Salt Typhoon attack spree potentially infiltrated more
telecom companies and the threat group still has network access.
Salt Typhoon has compromised at least eight telecommunications providers or
telecom infrastructure companies in the U.S., though there could be more,
Anne Neuberger, deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging
technology, said Wednesday during a media briefing.
&uuid=(email)) The
campaign to intrude telecom companies, affiliated with China's government, has
been underway for between one to two years and has affected a few dozen
countries thus far, a senior administration official said.
Telecom networks are a high-priority target, "one that's in the
bull's-eye of nation-state programs," a senior administration official said. "We
believe this one is for espionage, but potentially for disruption at a time of
crisis or conflict as well."
White House officials held the media briefing a day after the FBI and
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency confirmed Salt Typhoon stole
a large amount of records, including metadata, from telecom providers.
The threat group gained broad access to communications
of everyday Americans and also targeted
prominent individuals.
"Communications of U.S. government officials ride on these private sector
systems, which is why the Chinese were able to access the communications of some
senior U.S. government and political officials," Neuberger said. "At this time,
we don't believe any classified communications has been compromised."

Corrupted Microsoft Office Docs
Phishers send corrupted documents to bypass email security
Phishers have come up with a new trick for bypassing email security systems:
corrupted MS Office documents. Malware hunting service Any.Run has warned
last week about email campaigns luring users with promises of payments, benefits
and end-of-the-year bonuses.
Recipients are instructed to dowload the attached document - an archive
file (ZIP) or an MS Office file (e.g., DOCX) - and open it, but the file is
corrupted. The recipients are then prompted by the application to allow it to
recover the contents of the document.
Once the recovery process ends and the document is opened, the recipients are
instructed to scan a QR code contained in it to access the "secure
document".
But this is just a trick to lead potential victims to a spoofed Microsoft
login page created to harvest the login credentials unwitting users enter in
it.

The Evolving Cannabis Security Landscape
Commercial Security Meets the Needs of Evolving Cannabis Industry
The shifting legal landscape aside, the dynamic increase in legal cannabis
businesses represents a new growth market for commercial security providers,
along with responsibilities for integrators to apply their professional
expertise in risk assessment, project management, and innovative technologies to
implement code-compliant systems that best protect these emerging, high-risk
enterprises.
Cash Businesses
&uuid=(email)) Until federal legislation is passed to ease banking restrictions, most
cannabis dispensaries are forced to remain cash-heavy operations. Dealing in
a high-demand, highly regulated product like cannabis increases the potential
for armed robbery and burglary, as well as internal theft, tampering,
counterfeiting, organized retail crime, and even espionage. Therefore, the
need is urgent for these cannabis businesses to seek experienced security, fire,
and life safety professionals to evaluate risks with a critical eye on the
specific type of operation - whether that be a dispensary, manufacturing site,
or cultivation facility.
Licensing - Don't Go There Alone
Before the conversation about security, fire, and life safety solutions can
begin, cannabis businesses must first become licensed to operate in their
city and state by meeting compliance standards and navigating the extremely
complicated and competitive licensing process. As independent-spirited
entrepreneurs, new cannabis business owners may be accustomed to making
decisions and doing things on their own. So, it may be unusual for them to seek
professional guidance for the rigorous, detailed security requirements mandated
by licensing authorities. This is where identifying a trusted security partner
is absolutely critical.

Insurance Challenges Persist for the Cannabis
Industry
Rescheduling Marijuana Does Not End Insurance Challenges for Cannabis Industry
Like businesses in virtually any other industry, businesses in the cannabis
industry require many different types of insurance coverage - not just property
or product liability insurance. Cannabis-related businesses, for example, should
consider general liability, management liability, and cyber coverages.
And, make no mistake, insurance coverage is available for the cannabis industry.
That said, many insurance companies have been reluctant to sell insurance to
businesses in this unique industry because marijuana has been a Schedule I
controlled substance and federally illegal.
The more limited insurance options for cannabis-related businesses often means
they face higher insurance premiums, and lower available policy limits,
than do businesses in other industries.
The decision to reschedule marijuana from a Schedule I controlled substance to a
Schedule III controlled substance - if the DEA signs off and lets it take effect
- may encourage some previously reluctant insurance companies to more
willingly write insurance coverage for the cannabis ndustryi.

Too Dangerous for Delivery?
Amazon says these areas of Washington, DC, are too dangerous for Prime delivery
The e-commerce giant faces a lawsuit from
the District's attorney general, alleging that Prime members in two zip codes
aren't receiving promised benefits.
Since mid-2022, Amazon has allegedly violated a Washington, D.C., consumer
protection law by
withholding benefits from Prime members in two zip codes, according to a
civil lawsuit, citing "undisclosed internal policies," that was filed Wednesday
by the district's attorney general.
Noting that Prime members pay $139 per year or $14.99 per month, the lawsuit
states that Amazon "deliberately - and secretly - stopped providing its
fastest delivery service to the nearly 50,000 Prime members who live in
historically underserved communities east of the Anacostia River,"
per court filings.
In an emailed statement, Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel called the claims
"categorically false," adding that the company "made the deliberate choice to
adjust our operations, including delivery routes and times, for the sole
reason of protecting the safety of drivers. And we're always transparent with
customers during the shopping journey and checkout process about when, exactly,
they can expect their orders to arrive. What we'd like to do, and have offered,
is to work together with the Attorney General and their office in an effort to
reduce crime and improve safety in these areas."
Wednesday's lawsuit alleges that Amazon systematically reduced its services
to the two zip codes, in violation of the city's Consumer Protection
Procedures Act.
That law "prohibits a broad range of deceptive and unfair business practices,
including misleading consumers, making misrepresentations, and failing to
disclose important information about products or services."
Before Amazon's alleged change in policy, for example, more than 72% of Prime
deliveries to those areas occurred within two days of checkout, while afterward
just a quarter were, according to a Wednesday press release from the AG's
office. Meanwhile, delivery speeds in other areas of the city got faster,
with nearly three-quarters of Prime members in those places enjoying two-day
delivery.

Biggest Online Shopping Day Ever
Cyber Monday was the biggest US online shopping day ever
$15.8 million every 60 seconds. That's how much US consumers spent in two
hours on Monday night, capping off a five-day spending spree that smashed
previous records.
US consumers spent a total of $13.3 billion on Cyber Monday, up 7.3% from the
previous year, according to Adobe Analytics.
Concerns about inflation linger, but the holiday season's sweetened discounts
turned into increased spending. Consumers spent a record $41.1 billion
across the five days beginning Thanksgiving Day, according to Adobe.
"While Cyber Monday remained the season's and year's biggest online shopping
day, year-over-year growth was stronger on both Thanksgiving and Black Friday,"
Vivek Pandya, lead analyst at Adobe Digital Insights, said in a statement.
Online spending on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday were up 8.8% and 10.2%
year-over-year, respectively, according to Adobe. Early discounts from retailers
encouraged people to buy earlier this year, Pandya said, with Cyber Monday
becoming a sort of "last call" on holiday deals.

Aurora, CO: Violent Shoplifting Ring Dismantled by Aurora Police
Aurora Police have identified a major theft ring operating at several
local malls and stores. Officers used covert surveillance and
intelligence gathering to track the suspects' activities. The group was
linked to thefts at multiple locations, including the Town Center Mall,
causing nearly $100,000 in losses to businesses across the city.
Through careful planning and collaboration with loss prevention teams,
Aurora Police were able to uncover a pattern of thefts primarily
occurring on Thursdays. This strategic approach allowed officers to
apprehend the suspects and halt further crimes, significantly disrupting
the operation. During a targeted sting operation at the Town Center
Mall, officers arrested four suspects as part of their investigation
into the theft ring. The operation was further expanded when additional
suspects arrived, leading to more arrests. In total, seven individuals
were identified as being part of the theft ring, responsible for 98
separate theft cases. The success of these operations highlights the
effectiveness of the police department's approach to tackling organized
retail crime. By following up with additional surveillance, officers
were able to gather further evidence, linking these suspects to previous
thefts and preventing future crimes.

St George, UT: Retail theft escalates to high-speed pursuit through St.
George neighborhoods
What began as a call reporting hundreds of dollars in stolen merchandise
from a St. George store ended in a high-speed chase and the arrest of
two men. On Sunday afternoon, officers responded to a theft report at a
store on South Pioneer Road in St. George. According to charging
documents filed with the court, while en route, officers were advised
the suspects were attempting to leave the property in a black Acura
without license plates. The car was still in the parking lot when the
first patrol unit arrived on scene. Authorities say they received
multiple reports of the Acura traveling recklessly through St. George,
including one that indicated the Acura nearly hit another patrol unit
responding to the area. In the meantime, officers spoke to the store's
asset protection staff, who reported that the suspects left with more
than $700 of merchandise without paying for it. Video surveillance
footage turned over to police later confirmed these statements. Officers
also learned the pair were suspected of stealing from the same store in
the past. Following a short foot pursuit, police took two men into
custody: the driver, 24-year-old Anthony Perez Jr., and the passenger,
22-year-old Henry Cruz-Martinez, both from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Chicago, IL: Police warn of string of 30 burglaries at Chicago businesses
Police are warning business owners about a string of burglaries, after the same
crew broke into 30 stores and restaurants across the city since late October. In
each burglary, the thieves broke in through the front glass door or side window
to get in, before stealing money from cash boxes, cash registers, and safes. The
most recent break-in was early Monday at Paulie Gee's pizza restaurant in Wicker
Park, where thieves smashed in through the front door. Police said a group of
four or five men wearing masks have used at least five different getaway
vehicles in the burglaries - including a black Nissan Altima, a gray Infiniti
G37, a dark Nissan Rogue, a white Infiniti M35, and an orange Nissan Rogue.

Are you going beyond your job appraisal? Every year, executives face that one
moment in time when corporate America tells you how you've done and most live
within its boundaries all year long. Exceeding at your job is, by definition,
going beyond it and the only way to move up is by doing just that. With
increased job scopes and responsibilities, it may seem almost impossible to do
except for those who believe anything is possible. Are you going beyond?
Just a Thought,
Gus
