The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Oregon Moves One Step Closer to Passing New
ORC Bills
Oregon Senate unanimously passes bills aimed at organized retail crime
On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously passed a package of
bills aimed at curtailing organized retail theft. The bills now head to the
Senate floor.
“Oregon
has become one of the most active states regarding organized retail crime
and many retailers are reporting losing millions of dollars in loss per store
location,” said Senator Tim Knopp, the sponsor of SB 900. “What you tolerate,
you will get more of and we can no longer tolerate this.”
The amended SB 900 would establish a $5 million grant fund for law
enforcement to support organized retail theft enforcement actions. More on
Senate Bill 900 and the
proposed amendment.
The amended Senate Bill 318 would allocate funding to the Department of
Justice to fund positions tasked with investigating and prosecuting organized
retail theft. The amount the bill would fund is yet to be determined. More
on
Senate Bill 318 and
proposed amendments.
The amended Senate Bill 340 would make several policy changes to the Oregon
criminal code to ensure retailers and law enforcement have the necessary
tools to detect, deter, and hold those who commit organized retail theft
accountable. It also addresses employee safety when concerning organized
retail theft groups. More on
Senate Bill 340 and the
proposed amendment.
Members of the Oregon Organized Retail Crime Task Force
released statements following the passage of the bills.
“Organized Retail Crime is one of the most pressing and fastest-growing issues
for grocery stores in Oregon right now,” said Amanda
Dalton, the Northwest Grocery Association President. “In the past
year our members have seen incidents double and ORC suspects have become
brazen and dangerous, putting the safety of customers and employees at risk.”
“This is not petty theft!” said Jeremy Girard,
President of the Organized Retail Crime Association of Oregon. “Our
loss prevention officers are dealing with dangerous organized crime rings. Our
recommended legislative package provides critical tools to businesses,
prosecutors, and law enforcement that will aid in addressing organized retail
crime.”

NY Crime Data: Property Crime Up 24% in 2022
Overall crime index spiked 21%, while shootings &
murders decreased
Governor Hochul Details Statewide Crime Data, Highlights Need for Public Safety
Investments and Reforms in FY 2024 Budget
Common-Sense Bail Proposal to Eliminate Confusion in Conflicting Laws and
Hold Repeat Offenders and Violent Criminals Accountable
Governor
Kathy Hochul today announced
new statewide crime data and highlighted the need for public safety
investments and reforms included in her Fiscal Year 2024 budget.
During a speech at the Capitol, the Governor outlined her $491.9 million
investment in proven strategies to address and prevent gun crime and violence,
reduce recidivism, and help the criminal justice system continue to rebound
from pandemic-era disruptions.
Overall index crime increased 21 percent: violent crime (murder, rape,
robbery, aggravated assault), 10 percent, and
property crime (burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft), 24 percent,
during the same timeframe.
Shooting incidents with injury declined 17 percent in New York City and
15 percent in the 20 communities that report gun violence data to the state when
comparing last year to 2021, and those incidents continued to decline in early
2023.
The number of reported murders declined 11 percent statewide in last year,
with 94 fewer individuals killed, and while overall index crime increased 21
percent, those numbers are nowhere near those seen in three decades ago.
Governor Hochul also made the case for her common-sense proposal to remove
the "least restrictive" standard the state's bail law, which is key to restoring
judicial discretion and holding accountable those who continually reoffend
and commit violent crimes.

'Many of America's Downtowns' are Under
Attack - It's Going to "Wash Over & Affect the Suburbs"
2,300 Businesses Have Left Downtown Seattle Since 2020
“Santa Monica Is NOT safe. Crime … Depravity …
Outdoor mental asylum.”
Homeless encampments overwhelm Phoenix businesses
Arizona is facing one of the worst homelessness crises, federal data shows.
Madison Street has become the center of one of the largest homeless encampments
in the country.
Rampant homelessness in Phoenix, Arizona, is impacting small businesses, who are
struggling to stay afloat amid the homeless encampments.
“I think that you would find throughout the country an endemic if not an
epidemic of of homelessness related to economic issues as they affect small
businesses in downtown areas, the issues that are impacting and even
influencing cities are going to wash over and affect suburbs,” said
historian Chet Orloff.
Arizona is facing one of the worst homelessness crises in the U.S.,
according to
a report released by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. The December 2022
report shows while national numbers for homelessness remained mostly stable
since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Arizona saw a 23% jump in its
homeless population.
For the last three years, as an epidemic of unsheltered homelessness began to
overwhelm Phoenix and many other major American downtowns. Cities across the
West had been transformed by a housing crisis, a mental health crisis and an
opioid epidemic, all of which landed at the doorsteps of small businesses
already reaching a breaking point because of the pandemic. In Seattle, more
than 2,300 businesses had left downtown since the beginning of 2020. A group
of fed up small-business owners in Santa Monica, Calif., had hung a banner on
the city’s promenade that read: “Santa Monica Is NOT safe. Crime … Depravity
… Outdoor mental asylum.” And in Phoenix, where the number of people living
on the street had more than
tripled since 2016, businesses had begun hiring private security
firms to guard their property and lawyers to file a lawsuit against the city
for failing to manage “a great humanitarian crisis.”
In Phoenix police were called to an average of eight incidents a day in 2022.
There were at least 1,097 calls for emergency medical help, 573 fights or
assaults, 236 incidents of trespassing, 185 fires, 140
thefts, 125 armed robberies, 13 sexual assaults and four homicides.
Fire Department and ambulance responders have been attacked and assaulted so
many times they now require police escorts to respond to the encampment areas.
More than 1,250 homeless people had died in Maricopa County in the last two
years, including hundreds from drug overdoses or heat exposure. Other nearby
property owners had started calling the neighborhood Death Row.

Safeway Says; “Rampant shoplifting on the rise at alarming levels at retailers
throughout California
FOX40 News Crew Attacked By Shoplifter While
Investigating Thefts
CRA Responds: Employees at Fair Oaks Safeway say routine theft also causing them
to feel unsafe
An employee from Safeway in Fair Oaks said the conditions at their store are
similar to the Howe Avenue location that allegedly has routine theft.
The employee contacted FOX40 and said he is also concerned about the safety
and security at their location on Madison Avenue and Dewey Drive.
“Every night we’re stressed thinking about: ‘OK, what’s the issue going to
be tonight?’ You just know something’s going to happen,” the employee said,
who asked to be referred to as Joey. “Almost every night, there’s an incident
where we have to contact the police or ask for security.”
Employees from Madison Avenue said corporate isn’t doing enough to keep them
safe from suspected thieves, who they say, consistently steal in bulk from their
business.
“There’s violent behavior, where people are throwing things. Not just
stealing but unstable people throwing things, like alcohol bottles, food and
furniture, and just destroying the displays, things like that,” Joey said.
And the violence grew last month.
Employees told FOX40 their coworkers were attacked by a couple of people
attempting to steal after they asked them to leave.
“One of them proceeded to attack two workers, punching them, causing
physical harm and injury. And the police were called. There was a police
report filed,” Joey said.
“Retailers are taking matters into their own hands and they’re hiring more
security and taking more proactive measures which we applaud, but we don’t want
that to happen at the risk of their safety as well,” Sgt. Amar Gandhi, with
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, said.
FOX40 News Crew Confronted Twice & Rushed By Shoplifter
Counterpart
FOX40 went to Safeway on Madison saw many people go into the store and then walk
out including one man who left with what looked like a full backpack. His
counterpart confronted our reporter and photographer. At one point, the man
rushed the car with what appeared to be a weapon in hand.
Our team quickly drove out of the parking lot but was followed a few blocks
away. The same man got out of his vehicle and confronted our photographer at
his driver’s window.
The FOX40 team quickly did a U-turn and dialed 911 for help. The man stayed
behind at a red light. Deputies later searched for the driver but didn’t find
him.
A statement from Safeway reads in part, “Rampant shoplifting continues to
be on the rise at alarming levels at retailers throughout California. We
have increased our investments in security measures in stores throughout
Northern California to help combat this ongoing issue.”
“We are committed to working to identify effective solutions to ensure a safe
and welcoming environment for our customers and associates,” the statement
continues.
CRA President and CEO Rachel Michelin:
Retail theft is not unique to Safeway or the area. The California Retailers
Association said it’s been an ongoing problem and the work to improve conditions
is in progress.
“For over two year, California retailers, through the California Retailers
Association, have pleaded to Sacramento policy makers to work with us to deter
the rampant serial theft we see increasing due to changes under Proposition 47,
which allows individuals to steal up to $950, multiple times, without any real
consequence.
There is no one single fix to this growing problem – we all must work together
on solutions that protect our hard working retail employees, provide safe
shopping experiences for our customers and ensure our neighborhoods are safe and
thriving.”

Theft Hits Record Level Across the Pond
Local Shops report record levels of theft over last year
New figures from the Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) have revealed
record levels of shop theft being committed against convenience retailers over
the last year.
ACS’
Voice of Local Shops survey of over 1200 independent retailers has shown that
the ‘theft index’ (the net percentage of retailers saying that theft has
increased in their business) has reached a record level of +26, compared to a
previous high of +25 in May 2012. 63% of
independent retailers reported that theft in their businesses had either
increased (35%) or stayed the same (28%) over the last year, with
just 9% reporting a decrease in levels of shop theft.
The ACS Voice of Local Shops Survey has been tracking levels of shop theft
since the start of 2012. The theft index had been reasonably steady from
2016 through to early 2021, but has since gradually risen to now record highs.
ACS chief executive James Lowman said: “We are extremely concerned about the
continued increase in theft levels in local shops. Retailers tell us that the
vast majority of incidents are committed by repeat offenders, usually well
known in the area, that are stealing high value items like meat, coffee, alcohol
and household/beauty products to then sell on, either
as part of an organised crime group or to fund a substance addiction.
Across the UK, London retailers are the worst affected, with 48% of retailers
surveyed saying that theft has increased over the last year. This compares
to 28% of retailers in the North East who reported an increase in theft, the
lowest of any UK region.
Figures from the ACS 2022 Crime Report show that convenience stores spent
over £246m in the previous year on crime prevention measures like CCTV,
security staff and alarm systems.
Retail trade union Usdaw
is deeply concerned by the new figures from ACS which, it said, add to evidence
from police recorded crime statistics showing increases in shoplifting over
the last year, ending a decade-long downward trend.

Walmart Closes Another Store in a Crime
'Hotspot'
Walmart closing in Brooklyn Center, another retail departure in the north metro
Walmart's departure is the second major retailer to leave Brooklyn Center
after the Target store a few blocks north closed in 2019.
The
north metro is losing another major retailer. On Tuesday, Walmart
announced it will close its superstore in the Shingle Creek Crossing
shopping center in Brooklyn Center on April 21, a major blow to customers
in need of cheap and convenient groceries and other household necessities.
The north Minneapolis
Aldi grocery store that shuttered last month.
On Tuesday, signs posted on the sliding front doors of the store were the
only warning to shoppers the neighborhood resource would soon close.
Employees at the store said they heard earlier that day of the closing.
Walmart's departure is just the latest major retailer to leave Brooklyn Center.
In 2019,
Target closed its store a few blocks to the north across from the
Brookdale Library. The nearby Sears store closed in 2018.
While Walmart representatives didn't mention public safety concerns as a reason
for closing the Brooklyn Center store, the shopping
area surrounding the Walmart has been called "a hotspot for crime,"
Brooklyn Center Police Chief Kellace McDaniel said last month. He made the
comment as the city
rolled out its first mobile camera trailer and planned to park it in the
shopping center's parking lot.
Walmart owns the Brooklyn Center property and will evaluate it for a new use at
a later date, the company said. In recent months, Walmart has announced
closures in other states
including a store in Milwaukee.

Security Concerns Remain as NYC Awaits Trump Indictment
Trump's calls to "PROTEST, PROTEST, PROTEST' haven't
materialized - yet
Trump Indictment Watch: NYC on Edge as Manhattan Grand Jury Reconvenes
Trump has urged his supporters to "PROTEST, PROTEST, PROTEST" in NYC days
ago when he declared he expected to be arrested this week.
After an off day Tuesday, and all eyes are on Manhattan and its district
attorney. It's not known when the grand jury hearing the evidence plans to
meet again.
It's unclear if any potential organized actions could
intensify if the grand jury does in fact opt to indict Trump, which
would be the first indictment of a sitting or former U.S. president in history,
but with the pall of the Jan. 6 insurrection still looming large, the NYPD,
and its law enforcement partners at all levels of government, are preparing
accordingly.
NYPD officers of every rank were ordered to wear their uniforms and prepare
for deployment starting Tuesday, according to an internal memo obtained by
News 4.
The memo, sent by the commanding officer of the NYPD's operations division,
instructed all uniformed service members to be mindful
of protocol around public disorder and be prepared for mobilization at any time
while on duty.
Law enforcement sources said intel teams are closely monitoring social media
for protests, including intentional acts to slow down traffic or disrupt daily
life across the city. Thus far, nothing of the sort has taken place in the
city.
The police department, Secret Service, court officers and FBI continue to
meet to discuss security. Two senior officials said the Secret Service has
yet to do a security review of the 100 Centre Street courthouse where Trump
could face a judge if he is indicted. Entrances,
booking areas, hallways, courtroom, surrounding streets and more would be
included in that kind of advanced security review, which would only
be done if and/or when a potential indictment comes down.

FRT - The #1 Biometric Modality & Has the
Strongest Momentum
Facing the Future With Biometrics
More businesses are becoming aware of biometrics for identification and
access control — and security professionals who help educate them will reap the
benefits.
Business adoption of biometrics in access control and identification is at a
major turning point right now. Big-name companies, major airlines and
retailers — not to mention government and law enforcement — are using some
form of biometrics, which is raising awareness around how the technology can
help end users streamline operations, increase security and ultimately save
money.
The growing use of biometrics and biometrics as a service (BaaS) is expected
to reach $51.6 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 12.4 percent during the
forecast period of 2022 to 2029, according to analysts Meticulous Research.
A few recent high-profile examples include American Airlines using facial
recognition biometrics; Disney theme parks implementing biometric fingerprint
scanners; and Amazon incrementally rolling out its Amazon One palm scanning
payment technology at Whole Foods retail locations across the country.
“Biometrics have been enthusiastically supported in many consumer
applications in which the benefits for security and convenience are clear
and adoption is generally increasing,” says Jake Parker, senior director of
government relations at the Security Industry Association (SIA), Silver Spring,
Md. Recent public opinion research commissioned by SIA finds that more than
70 percent of American adults support the use of facial recognition by
airlines, for airport security, banking and financial transactions, and to
secure workplaces, he says.
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/3-22-23sdmmag.PNG)
The key to making biometrics go mainstream hinges on the security industry doing
a better job of educating and promoting the technology to both corporate end
users and the general public, Odess says. “I’d say that it is dystopia right now
because there are no good stories in the mainstream media. … You’ve got to have
case studies and storytelling opportunities to tell your end user customer
[about biometrics].”
Facial Recognition Still No. 1
According to the 19th Annual FindBiometrics Year in Review,
face biometrics retained its dominant status in 2021 for
most used biometric modality, with 36 percent of survey respondents saying it
had the strongest momentum, compared with 38.5 percent in the
previous year’s results. Next in line in usage was fingerprint at 18 percent,
multimodal at 15 percent, and iris recognition at 12 percent.
There’s a reason why facial recognition still tops the list. The “touchless”
aspect helped spur growth during COVID. Law enforcement and other security
agencies continue to use face biometrics technology to identify individuals of
interest, and border officials are increasing its use at airports and other
checkpoints, the FindBiometrics report states.

Remote work is under attack. But here's why it's likely to stick around
Remote work appears to be leveling off, but that doesn't mean the battle is over
— and many employees would sacrifice pay for flexibility.
Many employers are
cutting back on hybrid arrangements and demanding more frequent returns to
the office, but workers largely say they prefer having work-from-home options —
and they'd still take pay cuts to have that flexibility.
Some former
Silicon Valley Bank executives blamed its culture of remote work as a
contributing factor in the bank's rapid collapse.
The president of the Downtown Seattle Association called remote work
“an affliction” to the health of its downtown. Other politicians have
also pressed for a
return to the office in a bid to help their own urban cores and commercial real
estate markets.
Despite those headwinds, numerous data points show hybrid work is largely
sticking around and perhaps settling into a long-term level.
A March update from Work From Home Research found remote work as a percentage of
paid full days worked was about 27% so far in 2023, down just slightly from
recent months. About 28% of all job postings were advertised as remote, compared
with 29% during the same time last year,
according to a recent Robert Half study.

US retail sector leads corporate defaults: S&P Global
The tally of corporate defaults this year through Feb. 28 was at its
highest since 2009. Retail led the way, with seven out of 23 defaults, or 30%
of the global tally, through the end of February, S&P Global Ratings said in
a report this month.
Retail “continues to face challenges from logistics, labor, and supplier cost
inflation, all squeezing margins for both retailers and their suppliers.
Nearly half of retail issuers rated B- or lower have negative S&P outlooks or
credit watch implications. As a result, “further downgrades as well as a
potential increase in defaults” is possible, S&P said.
Bankrupt companies are increasingly seeking reorganization over liquidation.
According to a separate S&P report, 78.4% of corporate entities that filed for
bankruptcy through February sought reorganization, the highest in at least 14
years.

Retailers across the country are
facing significant increases in retail theft and organized retail
crime (ORC) that require immediate action from loss prevention
executives.
The industry is struggling under the weight of labor shortages,
supply chain disruptions, and higher cost of goods. These economic
headwinds have been aggravated by the significant losses incurred by
ORC.
In addition to the growing financial costs of these retail thefts,
retailers and communities across the country are victimized by these
hidden costs.

ChatGPT Can Save You Hours at Work. Why Are Some Companies Banning It?
As bosses fret over generative AI, many employees embrace it
Office drama is brewing around when employees—and their bosses—are allowed to
use
ChatGPT at work.
The generative artificial intelligence technology from OpenAI—a startup backed
by billions of dollars from
Microsoft Corp.—was released at the end of November and instantly
embraced by many workers to create professional-sounding emails and PowerPoint
presentations, as well as strings of code that automate tasks.
Just as quickly, their co-workers and managers began pushing back on
bot-written work. When it is appropriate (and when it isn’t) to use AI
to communicate, evaluate human performance and create productivity hacks to get
a job done faster is now debated inside organizations, big and small, across
sectors. Surveys indicate that ChatGPT is already widely used among employees,
with some highlighting that it makes them more productive. Many leaders are
nervous about what corporate intelligence workers might be sharing.
Several big companies, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and
Verizon
Communications Inc.,
have blocked access to ChatGPT. Others are encouraging alternatives.
Amazon.com
Inc., for instance, has urged some of its engineers who want coding advice
or shortcuts to use its internal AI tool named CodeWhisperer, an Amazon
spokeswoman said.
Concerns about privacy and trade secrets cut across industries, but some sectors
have their own set of issues.
Many companies are still grappling with how to monitor and regulate generative
AI in the workplace. More than 40% of nearly 12,000 workers said they use
ChatGPT or other AI tools at work, according to a January survey by Fishbowl,
the workplace chat application. Almost 70% said they do so without telling their
boss.
Many employers are concerned that using AI generated text removes the human
touch, especially at the moments when it is most needed.
“It’s easy to see the benefits of using a technology like generative artificial
intelligence when you are the person saving time by using it,” he said. “It’s
also easier to ignore the potential risks.”

ChatGPT-Enabled Cyberattacks on the Rise
ChatGPT Gut Check: Cybersecurity Threats Overhyped or Not?
UK cybersecurity authorities and researchers tamp down fears that ChatGPT
will overwhelm current defenses, while the CEO of OpenAI worries about its use
in cyberattacks.
The
dizzying capacity for OpenAI to vacuum up vast amounts of data and spit out
custom-tailored content has ushered in all sorts of worrying predictions
about the technology's ability to overwhelm everything — including cybersecurity
defenses.
Indeed, ChatGPT's latest iteration,
GPT-4, is smart enough to pass the bar exam, generate thousands of words of
text, and write malicious code. And thanks to its stripped-down interface
anyone can use, concerns that the OpenAI tools could turn any would-be petty
thief into a technically savvy malicious coder in moments were, and still are,
well-founded.
ChatGPT-enabled cyberattacks started popping up just after its user-friendly
interface premiered in November 2022.
OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman
told a crowd gathered at SXSW this month that he is concerned about the
technology's potential to do two specific things really well:
spread disinformation and launch cyberattacks.
No word on what OpenAI intends to do to mitigate the chatbot's cybersecurity
threat, however. For the time being, it appears to be up to the cybersecurity
community to mount a defense.
There are current safeguards put in place to keep users for using ChatGPT for
unintended purposes, or for content deemed too violent or illegal, but users
are quickly finding
jailbreak workarounds for those content limitations.

Malware Trends: What’s Old Is Still New
Many of the most successful cybercriminals are shrewd; they want good ROI, but
they don’t want to have to reinvent the wheel to get it.
That’s one reason they are leveraging existing infrastructure and older threats
to maximize opportunity. As a security professional, you need to know what
attackers are up to so you can focus your resources appropriately.
Remaking
the classics
When the FortiGuard Labs research team looked at the second half of 2022, code
reuse (old code being retrofitted into new versions) and the re-emergence of
well-known names in the botnet, malware and wiper space – such as Emotet and
GandCrab, among others – served as a reminder that threats and malware never
truly go away. They merely retreat underground and wait for another opportunity.
And they are available wholesale any time to anyone who wants to buy them
Emotet just won’t quit
Emotet, first discovered as a banking trojan in 2014, continues to wreak havoc.
The malware familied, which steals sensitive and private information from
victims’ computers, has infected more than a million devices and is considered
one of the most dangerous threats of the decade. More recently, it’s been spread
through malicious Microsoft Office files, called maldocs, which are included in
phishing emails. An Excel 4.0 Macro or a VBA Macro is used to run malicious code
that downloads and starts the Emotet malware as soon as the victim opens the
associated document.
Combatting the retro trend
Winning the war against code reuse and variant frequency is about response time.
Your ability to defend against, identify, and neutralize such risks quickly
determines the success of your security stance and your ability to keep your
enemies out. Clouds, networks, endpoints and email must all have automated and
centrally managed defenses. Using strategies like segmentation throughout the
distributed network makes it simpler to detect and stop lateral movement across
your infrastructure when architectural designs change.

Former CISO Pleads Guilty To $900,000 Insider Trading Profit
AMIT BHARDWAJ, 49, of San Ramon, California, and the former Chief Information
Security Officer (“CISO”) at Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“Lumentum”), pled
guilty to 13 counts arising from his participation in a scheme to commit insider
trading based on material, non-public information (“MNPI”) that BHARDWAJ
misappropriated from his employer, Lumentum. BHARDWAJ traded on the
misappropriated MNPI himself and tipped his associates with this same
information so that they could place profitable trades in Lumentum’s acquisition
targets. BHARDWAJ was arrested and charged in July 2022 and pled guilty earlier
today before U.S. District Judge Gregory H. Woods.
He pled guilty to seven counts of securities fraud and two counts of wire fraud,
each of which carries a maximum term of 20 years in prison, and four counts of
conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud, each of which carries a
maximum term of five years in prison.

Beefing Up Cannabis Store Security
Moving dispensary security from the ceiling to the back door
A locksmith discusses why transitioning to securing exit doors and
inventory doors is a logical addition to any company providing security
installations to a cannabis facility
Moving
from installing intrusion systems, camera systems and access control into
forced-entry protection is not a giant leap. If you are technically inclined,
then those same hands and minds can be applied to protecting assets and
facilities against burglars.
From the Floor to the Door
The top concern of all these facilities is protecting their valuable and easily
sellable product from theft. While cameras and intrusion detection are good aids
in identifying and restricting access, protecting the rear door, selling
floor to back-of-house and interior storage area doors is critical.
Cannabis Clients Clamor for High-Security Locks
The key thing on installing on an existing door is to always take your time
with the templates and if you think something might be off measure and check
again. The last thing you want to do is drill a bunch of holes in the door
and have the lock not line up properly or work properly and end up turning the
door into Swiss cheese with multiple holes. Always use the correct installation
hardware that comes with the locks. I have seen other so-called professional
companies use the wrong hardware, and not use all the hardware when installing
the locks which in turn causes the customer to deal with issues of their lock
not working correctly.
Dispensary Lessons Learned
Transitioning to securing exit doors and inventory doors is a logical addition
to any company providing security installations to a cannabis facility. Align
yourself with an experienced lock or door installer and you’ll be able to
provide the multi-point locking products to complete the security package.

Growing Security Challenges for Cannabis
Industry
Why cannabis businesses need video analytics
As states continue to legalize recreational and medicinal marijuana use,
cannabis cultivators and retailers will need intelligent video solutions to meet
their growing security challenges
For
security technology companies, this makes cannabis the “next big thing” to try
to sell their products into, which leads to a large amount of sometimes
misleading marketing vying for the business of a new marketplace.
With increased cannabis production will also come the construction of more
agricultural facilities for harvesting and packaging, as well as an ever-growing
number of dispensaries opening their doors in cities nationwide. Of course,
businesses across the industry’s supply chain will also require a bevy of
physical security solutions as specified by the states in which they operate
to not only track the product from “seed to sale,” but to also safeguard
people and other assets.
As terms like “AI” and “algorithms” are popularized in the market, their meaning
becomes more nebulous. From growers to retailers, understanding the role that
physical security solutions realistically play and can deliver will be vital to
ensuring that slippage does not become the challenge in cannabis that it is in
traditional commercial markets.
Video Surveillance is a Requirement
Though specific regulations vary from state to state, each one in which
cultivation and dispensary sites are allowed to operate mandates the
implementation of video surveillance systems along with guidelines for
minimum image resolution, retention policies, and other various requirements.
However, as end users across other heavily regulated vertical markets are quick
to point out, meeting compliance standards does not mean that your business is
secure. Doing the bare minimum to get a checkmark on an inspection sheet does
not mean that you are taking the necessary steps to mitigate risks to your
business, nor will it protect you when facing an actual security incident.

Man linked to Tucson pot dispensary robbery shot and killed by police officer
A man suspected in an armed robbery at a marijuana dispensary was shot and
killed in a confrontation with an officer at a nearby restaurant, Tucson
police said. The incident started about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday when police answered a
call about an armed robbery at a dispensary in the 2700 block of East Grant
Road, near North Tucson Boulevard.
Officers immediately started searching the area and a man suspected in the
robbery was found inside a nearby restaurant, police said. The man ignored
repeated commands from the officer who eventually fired a round from his
department-issued rifle, and then sought cover, police said.
Other people inside the restaurant were able to escape the building. Police
eventually went inside the restaurant and found the man's body.

Amazon Labor Union Struggling a Year After
Victory
Strains Emerge Inside the Union That Beat Amazon Last Year
Nearly a year after its victory on Staten Island, the Amazon Labor Union
is grappling with election losses and internal conflict.
One
year after its surprise victory at a Staten Island warehouse, the only union
in the country representing Amazon workers has endured
a series of setbacks and conflicts that have caused longtime supporters to
question if it will survive.
In interviews, a dozen people who have been closely involved with the Amazon
Labor Union said the union had made little progress bringing Amazon to the
bargaining table, to say nothing of securing a contract. Many cited lopsided
losses at two other warehouses, unstable funding and an internal feud that has
made it difficult for the union to alter a strategy that they considered flawed.
At the heart of the feud is a dispute between the union’s president,
Christian Smalls, and several longtime organizers.
Mr. Smalls’s former allies complain that he has pursued elections at other
warehouses without strong support from workers or a plan to ensure victory.
They say he has focused on travel and public appearances while neglecting the
contract fight at the Staten Island warehouse, known as JFK8, where Amazon is
still contesting the election result.
The critics, who include the union’s former treasurer and its former organizing
director, favor an alternative approach: amassing enough supporters to
credibly threaten a strike and pressure Amazon to negotiate. The process
could take months but could increase the chances of winning a contract and
collecting dues, without which the union is dependent on donations from other
unions and third parties.

Retailers Could Use the Rule to Report
Impersonators
FTC Proposes New Rule to Combat Government and Business Impersonation Scams
The Federal Trade Commission
has proposed a rule to fight government and business impersonation
scams—a perennial scourge that has cost consumers hundreds of millions of
dollars over the past five years. The proposed rule would codify the
well-understood principle that impersonation scams violate the FTC Act, as do
those who provide impersonators with the means to harm consumers. The proposed
rule would allow the Commission to recover money from, or seek civil penalties
against, scammers who harm consumers in violation of the rule.
Rising sharply at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FTC received more
than 2.5 million reports of these scams from consumers nationwide from the
beginning of 2017 through the middle of 2022, and those consumers reported
losing more than $2 billion to these scams. These scammers are fishing for
information they can use to commit identity theft or seek monetary payment,
often requesting funds via wire transfer, gift cards, or increasingly
cryptocurrency.
The proposed rule would ban scammers from:
- Using government seals or business logos.
- Spoofing government and business emails and web addresses, including spoofing
“.gov” email addresses or using lookalike email addresses or websites that rely
on misspellings of a company’s name.
- Falsely implying government or business affiliation by using terms that are
known to be affiliated with a government agency or business.

Pawn Shop Scheme Generated up to $3.5M in
Revenue
Employees purchased stolen retail goods from
shoplifters and delivery drivers for online retailers, paying cash for the
items.
Kent, WA: Police recover millions in stolen property after pawn shop scheme
Pictures and videos from inside the Safeway Distribution Center show
boxes and boxes of stolen merchandise — a printer, a home theater audio system,
tools, a handbag, cosmetics. After several years, the Auburn Police Department
has closed a multi-jurisdictional investigation into a pawn shop scheme.
The Auburn-led investigation resulted in the recovery and return of “millions
of dollars worth of stolen property … to their rightful owners,” according
to the department’s social media post.
The
U.S. District Court in Seattle sentenced Aleksandr Pavlovskiy to six years in
prison and 15 years of supervised release for trafficking in stolen goods
and possession of child pornography after Pavlovskiy pleaded guilty to charges
in October 2021.
According to the release, Pavlovskiy ran two pawn shops — Thrift Electro in
Renton and Innovation Best in Kent — between 2013 and 2016. Following
Pavlovskiy’s direction, employees purchased stolen
retail goods from shoplifters and delivery drivers for online retailers, paying
cash for the items.
After establishing a warehouse in Kent for the storage and repackaging of
stolen products for sale on eBay and Amazon in 2016, Pavlovskiy and his
employees shipped hundreds of thousands of stolen items nationwide, according to
police. The business generated between $1.5 million and
$3.5 million in revenue between January 2017 and July 2019.
Darren Jones, owner of the AgriShop Ace Hardware in Auburn, said he’s worked
with Auburn police in regards to pawn shops reselling stolen property for
years. Jones said the AgriShop helped the Auburn Police Department run
serial numbers on stolen steel that had been sold in pawn shops for several
years in order to return the material back to the originating companies.
In addition, Auburn detectives have discovered steel power equipment sold in
pawn shops that matched the AgriShop’s serial numbers, Jones said. Jones
managed to recover the stolen property as a result.
The Auburn Police Department thanked Fred Meyer Loss
and Prevention, Home Depot, Lowe’s and various businesses for playing an
“instrumental [role] in the recovery of these stolen items.”

Rochester, NY: Former Rochester Pawn shop owner sentenced for selling $3M of
stolen goods
A
man who once owned and operated Royal Crown Pawn & Jewelry on Dewey Ave.
received his sentence for making millions of dollars from sales of stolen goods
at his shop. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of New York
sentenced Devin Tribunella, 39, to serve four years in prison. He was
also ordered to forfeit four luxury cars, over $150,000 in funds from three bank
accounts, and is required to pay a $1.6 million judgement. He previously
admitted to using heroin addicts as shoplifters at numerous retail stores
across the area, including Lowes, Home Depot, and Walmart. Prosecutors say
Tribunella then sold those stolen goods on eBay to buyers outside of the state,
making over $3 million in the process. In a separate case, Tribunella is
accused of refusing to return chips to a casino that overpayed him.

Shootings & Deaths
Everett, WA: 1 dead, police officer shot outside Everett grocery store
An
Everett police officer on Wednesday shot and killed a person suspected of
shooting another officer in the head while that officer was in his patrol car,
according to authorities. The injured officer was driven to Providence Regional
Medical Center by a fellow Everett officer in a police vehicle, according to the
Everett Fire Department. He was in stable condition as of about 9:30 a.m., said
Courtney O’Keefe, a spokesperson for the Snohomish County Multiple Agency
Response Team. No other injuries were reported. Everett police Chief Dan
Templeman said the department is focused on supporting the injured officer and
his family as he recovers. O’Keefe said SMART is investigating two scenes, one
outside the Fred Meyer store in the 8600 block of Evergreen Way and another at a
car dealership next door. Everett police responded to reports of a robbery in
the area just after 3 a.m. and found probable cause to search for four suspects,
according to O’Keefe. An officer found one person near the store, and as he
approached in his patrol vehicle, that person fired shots. The officer was
struck in the head while he was either in the car or attempting to exit, O’Keefe
said. The shooter ran across the street to a nearby car dealership where, she
said, a second Everett officer shot and killed the suspect.

Greenwood, IN: Armed civilian who stopped Greenwood Mall shooter named Citizen
of the Year
The
City of Greenwood took time this week to honor the man responsible for stopping
the gunman inside the Greenwood Park Mall in July. Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers
chose Elisjsha Dicken as the 2022 recipient of the Citizen of the Year Award for
the city. In his nomination letter, Myers recounted what occurred on July 17
inside the mall and shared thanks for the fast action of Dicken. “July 17th
started off to be another beautiful day in Greenwood. Unfortunately, it became
one of the darkest days in our history. A lone gunman entered the Food Court in
the Greenwood Park Mall. As he emerged from the restroom he began firing a
rifle, killing 3 people. Hearing shots ring out, Elisjsha Dicken immediately
identified the shooter, took cover behind a pillar, drew his weapon and fired at
the shooter from 40 yards away. He was able to eliminate the threat. While doing
this Elisjsha also was waving innocent civilians to safety. There were countless
number of innocent lives saved that day due to his quick and selfless thinking.
The City of Greenwood and the residents here owe a great debt of gratitude to
Elisjsha. Because of his heroic actions the City of Greenwood proudly honors
Elisjsha Dicken as the 2022 Citizen of the Year.”

Rochester, NY: Rochester business owners respond to string of smash-and-grab
thefts
The
rash of stolen cars and smash-and-grab burglaries is a trend that police say is
not slowing down in the city of Rochester. The thefts have often involved stolen
Hyundai and Kia vehicles, according to police, and some local and federal
leaders are blaming the social media platform TikTok. They say the platform
allegedly failed to moderate video content that encourages the vehicle thefts.
Car theft sprees here and across the country peaked in Rochester last month when
investigators say 80 vehicles a week were stolen. "Almost all the smash and
grabs we've seen are individuals under the age of 18 and they've been in
Hyundais and Kias," said mayor Malik Evans. "They were taught how to steal them
... they got the how-to kit out of TikTok." On Monday night into early Tuesday,
Rochester police responded to five of these smash-and-grab incidents. According
to investigators, stolen goods and shattered windows were left in their wake.
