The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
ORC Fighter Headed to the U.S. Senate
DeSantis picks state AG Ashley Moody for Florida Senate seat
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday named state Attorney
General Ashley Moody to the US Senate, choosing a staunch ally to fill
the seat set to be vacated by Marco Rubio, President-elect Donald
Trump’s pick for secretary of state.
Moody, a former prosecutor and judge who once sued Trump for
fraud, will join the Senate after Rubio resigns from the chamber and
serve until 2026. She will then be able to run in a special election to
fill the final two years of his term.
At 49 years old, Moody would be well-positioned to become a key
player in Florida’s — and the nation’s — future for years to come.
Moody has also been at the forefront of Florida's ORC crackdown. Through
the Florida Organized Retail Crime Exchange
(FORCE), her office recently charged five members of a
crime ring with organized retail theft.
When FORCE launched, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said it would "allow
law enforcement and retailers to easily work together and efficiently
share information and resources so that we can root out and
arrest these thieves and send them to prison where they belong."
Organized retail theft escalated under the Biden administration with
70% of retailers reporting increased crime and an estimated $30 billion
in losses every year.
In her first two years in office, Moody's OSP filed nearly 60 cases
involving more than 250 individuals suspected of organized retail theft
or crimes related to organized retail theft.
One of her priorities has involved working with the legislature to
advance tough on crime policies. In 2022, this involved Moody leading
the charge to address retail theft at the legislative level. By the
spring 2024, the legislature had passed multiple bills to enhance public
safety she supported. This included enhancing penalties for theft
offenders with prior convictions, defining and expanding retail theft
crimes and penalties, enhancing penalties for porch piracy, shoplifting,
transit fare evasion and other crimes.

Thousands
of Cities Using License Plate Reading Cameras to Fight Crime
North Texas: Frisco's new license plate-reading cameras aim to tackle
crime, not monitor traffic
License plate-reading cameras are being
installed in Frisco as part of
an effort to reduce crime and help solve
cases, police say. The cameras
will not be used for traffic enforcement, according to the Frisco Police
Department.
The cameras will be
strategically placed throughout the city,
capturing the rear image of vehicles and their license plates. They will
provide real-time alerts to officers when a stolen vehicle or a vehicle
associated with a wanted suspect is detected. Additionally, alerts will
be generated for vehicles associated with missing persons in AMBER or
Silver alerts.
Frisco police said the
"Flock" cameras are used in more than
5,000 communities across the U.S.
While collected images do not include people or faces,
data is stored for 30 days and is never
sold or shared with third parties,
police said Wednesday.
Frisco Police Chief David Shilson said the Flock LPR system will be a
significant asset, noting that communities using Flock cameras have
reported crime reductions of up to 70
percent.
"The
addition of the Flock LPR camera system is
a technological game changer for
our community that will allow greater collaboration with surrounding
agencies and provide us the ability to better direct our resources to
quickly apprehend felony suspects," Shilson said Wednesday in a news
release.
Shilson expressed appreciation for the
$437,000 grant
from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles' Motor Vehicle Crime
Prevention Authority.

Law Enforcement, DAs & Mayors Put
Organized Theft Criminals on Notice
NorCal Law enforcement, district attorneys and mayors meet to discuss
how to enforce Prop 36
 Community
leaders put shoplifters and organized retail theft criminals on
notice. Wednesday, saying they are ready to be partners in the
implementation of Proposition 36.
The Sacramento County Sheriff's office said Prop 36 finally gives
them the tools to get more convictions and deter crime. Before Prop
36 went into effect last month, suspects arrested for stealing
merchandise under $950 only faced a misdemeanor and didn't spend time in
jail.
Now, officials can charge someone with a felony if they have two
previous convictions, regardless of the dollar amount of the items
they are suspected of stealing.
During a Roundtable at Raley's in Fair Oaks, district attorneys from
counties including Sacramento, Yolo, and San Joaquin joined forces with
the Sacramento County Sheriff, the Sacramento Police Chief and area
mayors to announce a new regional collaboration to enforce Prop 36
retail theft laws.
The Sacramento County District Attorney said since Prop 36 went into
effect Dec. 18, his office has charged 47 people for retail offenses,
twenty of them being felonies.

Terrorist Attack Prompts Super Bowl
Security Boost
NFL, law enforcement ramp up New Orleans Super Bowl security
The NFL and federal law enforcement are increasing security for Super
Bowl LIX in New Orleans in response to the New Year's Day terrorist
attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 people, officials told ESPN.
Officials acknowledged that the New Orleans attack, in which a man drove
a truck through crowds, prompted authorities to add extra manpower
and resources to one of the most highly protected sporting events in
the nation.
"We've increased our security posture significantly so that people
can come here, they can see a strong law enforcement presence," said
Eric DeLaune, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security
Investigations in New Orleans who is leading federal coordination for
Super Bowl LIX.
Unlike the Sugar Bowl and other sporting events, the Super Bowl is
rated as a top-tier event by the Department of Homeland Security,
receiving support from federal agencies like the FBI, the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and others tasked with
fighting terrorist threats.
DeLaune declined to give specifics on how many extra people will be on
the ground the week of the Super Bowl, but said "hundreds" of federal
officers will be moving throughout the city to support local and
state law enforcement from now until after game day.

Target Finding Success By Putting
People First
"In retail, we have a chance to
change lives"
How Target’s people-first culture and leadership programs are driving
success
NRF 2025: Creating culture at Target
starts with listening and understanding needs
 When
Target CEO Brian Cornell runs through the recent growth of his
company, highlighting revenue, remodeling, new stores, new team members
and the tripling of digital business, he notes that it didn’t happen
in a boardroom.
Rather, he told attendees of NRF 2025: Retail’s Big Show, it came down
to investing in, listening to and developing great people, and
creating a culture of care, growth and winning together.
The keynote session included not only Cornell and Michael Bush, CEO of
Great Place To Work, but also Abubakarr Bangura, group vice president,
Target Corporation. Bangura, as Bush put it, is a “living example” of
everything Cornell speaks of; a native of Sierra Leone, he came to
Target as an intern in 2004 and now oversees roughly 80 stores across
multiple states.
“In retail, we have a chance to change lives,”
Cornell said; one of his favorite things, he noted, is to see a team
member grow and develop, moving up in responsibility and leadership.
Bangura pointed out that growth is not always a straight line. He has
worked in different teams and different states with the company, “but
one thing that has been consistently true has been Target’s culture.”
It’s the reason he has stayed, he said: He’s been surrounded by the
right teams and right mentors, including those willing to provide honest
feedback.

Stronger-Than-Expected Holiday Sales
NRF: Holiday sales ‘unexpectedly high' with 4% increase over 2023
The holiday season was a bigger success than many expected as
consumers “came out to spend” amid lessening inflation and
discounting.
Data released by the U.S. Census Bureau shows that core retail sales
during the 2024 holiday season (November and December) grew an
unexpectedly high 4% over 2023 to a record $994.1 billion, according
to the National Retail Federation. The 2024 holiday sales results top
the previous record of $955.6 billion spent during the 2023 holiday
season.
The total was ahead of NRF’s forecast, which expected holiday
spending to grow between 2.5% and 3.5% to between $979.5 billion and
$989 billion. The results also top the previous record of $955.6 billion
spent during the 2023 holiday season.
Sales for the full year grew 3.6% over 2023 to a record $5.28
trillion.

Strong Retail Sales Growth in December
December retail sales signal strong economic growth to end the year
December retail sales data showed the US economy ended 2024 growing

The control group in Thursday's release, which excludes several volatile
categories and factors into the gross domestic product (GDP) reading
for the quarter, increased by 0.7%, above economists' estimates for
0.4% sales growth.
Headline retail sales rose 0.4% in December, less than the 0.6%
economists had expected, according to Bloomberg data. Meanwhile, retail
sales in November were revised up to 0.8% from a prior reading that
showed a 0.7% increase in the month, according to Census Bureau data.

Credit Card Giant Engaged in Deception
Amex pays $230M to resolve DOJ allegations
The credit card giant misrepresented
features of some credit cards targeting small businesses and entered
false information on card applications, the DOJ alleged.
American Express agreed to pay $230 million to settle Department of
Justice charges that it engaged in deceptive marketing and deficient
recordkeeping in pitching its credit cards to small businesses.
The Justice Department alleged that New York-based card company
entered “dummy” account information on behalf of businesses applying for
credit cards, undercutting required recordkeeping, according to a
Justice Department news release posted on its website Thursday.
American Express employees also misrepresented the rewards and fees
attached to those cards, and were not upfront about whether credit
checks would be conducted without a customer’s consent, the release
said.

The Boot by CIS Security Solutions
Once upon a time, in a big northern city, there was a store selling outerwear,
handbags and clothing. This store had just deployed the
CIS Security Solutions Boot
on their outerwear fixtures, loaded with Gen6 Slide alarming recoiling tethers.
This allowed the customer to easily try on the outerwear yet prevented anyone
from removing them from the fixture without assistance. This store was also
protected by the CIS Sleeves in their handbag department, loaded with Gen6 SR
alarming tethers. Both the Sleeve and the Boot lock onto the fixtures to prevent
Organized Retail Crime sweeps.
 On
this particular morning, the Boots had been mounted to the fixtures in this
store for the very first time. Our CIS Hero made sure the alarms were activated
and plugged into the Smart Padlocks that were run through the sleeves of the
outerwear. As he was finishing for the day, he said, "I'll be back tomorrow to
make sure everything is working correctly." The next morning, the CIS Hero went
back to the store to make sure everything was ok, and he overheard the store
manager telling this story:
The same day the Boots were deployed, a group of shoplifters came in to try to
steal the coats and jackets that were now being protected by the Boot. Imagine
their surprise when they grabbed arms full of coats and started dragging the
entire 4-way fixture with them. It did not fit through the door, so the thieves
left in a big hurry with nothing to show for their efforts. They didn't get
anything from the handbag department either.
We were told the video is quite entertaining, especially the looks of surprise
on their faces. The would-be thieves thought they were going to get away with a
clean sweep. They were very wrong. However, this same gang of thieves did go to
another store that was not yet protected by the Boot or the Sleeve. That store's
handbag department was emptied of merchandise by this group, potentially to be
sold on the black market.
A few months later, another store was the victim of one very brazen man, who
decided he was going to steal as many handbags as he could stuff into a duffel
bag and a blanket or sheet. The only handbags that were NOT stolen from the
store that day, were the handbags protected by the CIS Sleeve loaded with Gen6
SR alarming tethers. The Sleeves were locked to the fixture, protecting the
higher priced handbags and preventing a clean sweep.
These are true stories. Unfortunately, this type of theft is occurring
frequently in stores across the country. Associates have to stand by and watch
helplessly as their merchandise was brazenly stolen right in front of them.
Stores using the Sleeve and Boot have seen a dramatic decrease in shrink for
these departments.
 Each
Boot holds 10 Gen6 Slide tethers and is locked onto each fixture leg with only 2
security screws. The Slide Lock end connects the alarming tethers to the smart
padlock tags on the outerwear. When the tether is not in use, it recoils into
the housing, keeping a neat appearance with no cable lying on the floor. When
the tether is in use, it is plugged into a Smart Padlock tag that communicates
with the alarm top, creating a 6-way alarming system to prevent theft of the
protected item. The garments can remain hanging evenly because of the pinch clip
on the cable, allowing slack for merchandising.
The Slide Padlock Tag design allows for quick and easy deactivation of the
alarm, and release of the tether in just a second or two. By placing the
exclusive All-In-One Decoder on top of the Gen6 Slide Lock where it is plugged
into the Slide Padlock Tag, the decoder will deactivate the alarm with one push
of a button. This will allow you to release the lock easily after the alarm is
deactivated in one smooth move. Once the Gen6 Slide is plugged into another
Slide Padlock Tag, it will automatically reactivate.
CIS listens when retailers ask for a solution. We listen to the needs and the
wants of our clients. One step release, changeable components, sustainability,
affordability, and low labor cost are all key components to our success in
providing solutions that work.

Bringing Cybersecurity Concerns into the
Boardroom
How CISOs can elevate cybersecurity in boardroom discussions
Ross Young is the CISO in residence at Team8 and the creator of the OWASP Threat
and Safeguard Matrix (TaSM). In this interview, he shares his perspective on
how cybersecurity professionals can tailor their presentations to the board,
aligning security strategies with business priorities.
He also discusses common misconceptions that boards have about cybersecurity and
offers practical advice on building lasting relationships with executives to
ensure cybersecurity stays front and center in ongoing business discussions.
What key considerations should cybersecurity
professionals consider when tailoring their presentation to align with the
board’s priorities?
Cybersecurity leaders who present to their boards need to frame cybersecurity
initiatives in terms of business growth and revenue impact rather than just risk
mitigation. Board members want to understand how security programs directly
affect the company’s bottom line, so presentations need to highlight how
security measures enhance customer confidence and drive sales completion. For
example, with eCommerce, when streamlined multi-factor authentication makes
transactions smoother, it can measurably reduce cart abandonment rates and
increase revenue.
Cybersecurity professionals can strengthen their case by sharing concrete
examples of how vulnerability management protects revenue-generating services.
They might demonstrate how proactive security testing kept critical
customer-facing applications running during peak sales periods, maintaining
revenue flow while competitors experienced disruptions. Stories about effective
disaster recovery planning that preserved business operations during challenging
times can particularly resonate with board members.
By speaking the board’s language of business value and profitability,
security professionals can more effectively gain support and resources for their
programs. The key is consistently linking security initiatives to measurable
business outcomes.

11th Hour Cybersecurity Executive Order
Biden administration rolls out wide-reaching cybersecurity executive order
Released in the administration’s final days, the highly-anticipated order
follows a series of sophisticated attacks against federal agencies and critical
infrastructure providers.
The White House rolled out a highly anticipated executive order on Thursday to
combat a rising level of sophisticated attacks targeting U.S. government
agencies, critical infrastructure providers and high-profile individuals by
state-linked threat groups and other malign actors.
The executive order will give the U.S. more authority
to level sanctions against malicious actors that have disrupted
hospitals and other critical providers.
Federal authorities also plan to leverage the government’s $100 billion in
annual IT spending to make sure technology companies develop more secure
software.
The order follows a rash of state-linked campaigns, including the hack of nine
telecom companies by Salt Typhoon as well as a separate attack against the
Treasury Department connected to the compromise of BeyondTrust customers. The
recent attacks have all been linked to hackers backed by the People’s Republic
of China.

Competing With E-Commerce is No Easy Task
'Brick-and-mortar retailers are ceding ground to
e-commerce by playing a game they can’t win'
How can stores compete with speedy delivery? By slowing down.
Stores should stop trying to compete on e-commerce’s turf and focus on the
sensory details and customer service unique to brick and mortar, according to WD
Partners’ Lee Peterson.
Brick-and-mortar retailers are ceding ground to e-commerce by playing a game
they can’t win, while ignoring what people want from stores, according to
research from WD Partners presented at the National Retail Federation’s Big Show
on Tuesday.
“You should think about stores in a completely different way than you think
about your online business altogether,” Lee Peterson, WD Partners executive vice
president of thought leadership, said. “Online is tactical. It is about speed,
it is about logistics. But stores are not — it’s about emotions, it’s about
feelings. It’s about the way you think about something. It’s about contextual
value, and what you think of the brand.”
In its ongoing research, the marketing and strategy firm has found that
nearly 70% of more than 3,000 U.S. consumers prefer to shop online. Recently
the firm polled those respondents further to find out why. The top reason for
avoiding stores is that shopping “takes too much time and effort,” an indication
that Amazon’s recent effort to accelerate its already speedy delivery is paying
off. Messy stores, difficulty finding items, slow checkout and poor customer
service rounded out the top five.
These are all breaches of retail fundamentals, and therefore fixable, Peterson
said.
“This stuff is table stakes, this is like the stuff I learned in retail right
after the dinosaurs,” Peterson said. “We learned that we needed better
associates, we can’t have messy stores. We needed to learn all those things.
Right now, when we’ve got people delivering things on the porch in two minutes,
we still have the same problems. So if you wonder why you have to close all
these stores, and you think ‘Oh, Amazon, such a problem, delivery is so fast.’
No, it’s you. It’s really you.”

Going Green Boosts Sales?
Amazon: ‘Climate Pledge Friendly-label boosts sales’
Ecommerce giant Amazon has released a study indicating that joining the Climate
Pledge Friendly program results in a 12.5 percent increase in sales for sellers
on the marketplace. Especially products with low visibility profit from the
program.
Online marketplace Amazon has been making an effort to reduce its carbon
footprint over the last couple of years. In 2022, it announced that it would
invest over 1 billion euros up until 2027 to decarbonize its transportation
network in Europe. And last year, it started building micromobility hubs in
the United Kingdom.

Bloomington- Normal, IL: Authorities accuse Monster Pawn owners of
Organized Retail Theft ring
 Authorities
say three pawn shops in Bloomington-Normal were part of an organized
retail theft ring that allegedly bought and sold stolen goods still in
their original packaging. Seven people face criminal charges related to
the alleged scheme, which authorities say operated between November 2023
and July 2024 out of four Monster Pawn locations in Bloomington, Normal,
and Springfield, and Midwest Exchange in Bloomington. WGLT previously
reported in July 2024 that the pawn shops had been raided by police,
though prosecutors declined to say at the time what they were
investigating. They broke their silence Thursday by announcing charges
against the Bloomington family that owns Monster Pawn and several
employees. Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul’s Organized Retail
Crime Task Force investigated the case, along with local police
departments and other state and federal agencies. Raoul called it a
“complex multijurisdictional investigation.”

Shootings & Deaths
Cincinnati, OH: 2 killed in Walgreens, Popeyes parking lot shooting in Colerain
Two men are dead and another is injured following a shooting in broad daylight
in Colerain Thursday, according to a Colerain spokesperson. Police were
dispatched to the parking lots of Walgreens and Popeyes on the corner of
Colerain Avenue and Springdale Road around 12:55 p.m., the Colerain Police
Department says. A witness said she and three others, including a child, were
walking out of Walgreens when they saw and heard bullets ringing through the
air. That is when she says she made eye contact with the shooter across the
street who raised the gun in her direction and started shooting again. More than
a dozen shots were fired, according to police The witness says she and the
others ran back into the store, where she had to jump into action. “I looked
back and I realized he was shot and he was on the floor and I was like, ‘Where’s
the gloves, where’s the toilet paper? Anything you can find. I’m going to hold
down his wound' because I didn’t want him to bleed out and die over something
that was completely random in my opinion,” the witness described. Police say
life-saving measures were attempted but two of the victims succumbed to their
injuries.
The shooting appears to be a targeted crime, the spokesperson relayed from a
lieutenant.

The age of the email has truly changed the way humans communicate both
personally and professionally, with emails becoming that fast pitch right down
the middle and stinging the catcher's hand when they least expect it, and
oftentimes first thing in the morning before you've even had time to drink your
first cup of coffee. It has almost become an accepted practice for many to
compose their negative or conflicting thoughts about the days' events or
conversations and push that send button after everyone has left so they don't
have to face the receiver and so that they can almost act innocent the next day
as if some imposter sent it the night before. It's almost as if the email world
has offered some sort of anonymity to senders, even when it comes from their own
address.
Just a Thought,
Gus
