Mission 500, a charitable non-profit organization engaging security
professionals to assist families in crisis across the USA, has announced the
winners of its annual Humanitarian and
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) awards. This year’s

the company presented LifeSaver awards to 46 ADT employees who helped rescue
customers from near-death experiences involving fires, carbon monoxide poisoning
and other emergencies in the home. ADT also awarded $105,000 in grants in 2019
to more than a dozen police and fire departments that were involved in these
events.
At ADT’s Corporate Headquarters in Boca Raton, FL, employees assembled 1,000
Care Kits for veterans and donated over 15,000 pounds of food as part of a food
drive in November. Also, in 2019, ADT contributed $40,000 to the National
Volunteer Fire Council and several volunteer departments to raise awareness and
recruit more volunteer firefighters across America.

Retailers Win In Stimulus Bill
![](http://d-ddaily.com/images/3-26-20_pymnts.png)
Retail came up as a big, but very subtle, winner in the economic stimulus
package passed by the Senate last night (March 25) in response to the
coronavirus pandemic. While most of the focus has been on the $1,200 payout to
consumers, retailers will also gain from the bill’s
revision of two key points
from the 2017 tax bill.
The first change prevented retailers and restaurants from depreciating building
improvements within a tax year. It was meant to be the opposite in the 2017
bill, but was never fixed until last night. Now retailers can depreciate
business improvements within a year, instead of waiting for 39 years, which is
how the bill read.
The second fix concerns deductions for net operating losses. In the 2017 law,
the intention was to limit the ability of firms to claim tax breaks that occur
when deductions exceed income. But they didn’t mean to apply that limitation
retroactively. The fix will allow loss carrybacks for up to five prior years. When retailers
now use losses to offset prior taxes paid, they can still file revenue from when
they were profitable without forfeiting refund checks.
The economic stimulus bill will also make it easier to keep employees. It
includes an employee retention tax credit
on wages up to $10,000 per employee per quarter. Retailers must have fully or
partially suspended operations and suffered a significant decline in revenues to
qualify.

Unemployment Claims Skyrocket to New Historic Record
Weekly claims for unemployment insurance rose to
3,283,000 between March 15 and
22, spiking from the 281,000 applications for jobless benefits filed between
March 8 and 14.
The flood of jobless claims has overwhelmed state unemployment application
systems across the U.S. and threatened to crush municipal budgets facing stark
revenue shortfalls. The one-week rise in jobless claims shattered the record of
695,000 applications set in October 1982.
"This morning’s jobless claims confirm that the United States is in the thralls
of a
catastrophic unemployment crisis, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the
Great Depression," said Andrew Stettner,
senior fellow at The Century Foundation, a left-leaning think tank. "This
represents the single worst one-day piece of labor market news in America’s
history."

Restaurants turn to retail during pandemic shutdown
As the clampdown on commerce spreads due to the coronavirus pandemic,
restaurants have gotten creative in an effort to replace dine-in revenue. Many
have simply transitioned to takeout-only models, serving their usual menu (or a
slightly abbreviated version) through delivery services or direct pickup from
customers. Quite a few have begun to sell alcohol on a takeout basis as well.
And some restaurants are going so far as to change their entire business model
by transitioning to retail.

4th Avenue & Fresh Value in Alabama Installed
Sneeze Guards & Floor Decals
At the company's 4th Avenue Supermarket & Fresh Value banners in Alabama,
six-foot social distancing floor decals and sneeze guards were installed weeks
ago in preparation for the COVID-19 outbreak now unfolding across the country,
according to a company loss prevention executive. These locations were
"way ahead" of other chains across the U.S. in implementing the measures, the
executive noted.
As the coronavirus outbreak has become more widespread in the U.S., other big
retailers,
including Walmart, Kroger and Albertsons, have followed suit and enacted
similar social distancing measures to protect store employees and customers.

The Psychology Of Leading In Uncertain Times
Stepping up in the coronavirus era
From global boardrooms to small start-ups, right now there is a demand across
all workplaces for level-headedness, empathy, and effective leadership. Are
there causes for concern? Absolutely. From hitting numbers, to juggling family
responsibilities, and the economic outlook, more burning questions keep emerging
every day.
As we know, unpredictability is bad for business and team morale, and
coronavirus is causing tremendous uncertainty in our work and private lives.
Yet, adding to the confusion is not going to solve any of these problems. Nor is
it going to contribute to the recovery of our businesses, economy, or our health
and happiness.
In unsettled times, leaders must take a closer look at their own behavior and
ask if they are contributing to the panic. Or are we leading our teams and our
communities into a more productive conversation?
Now more than ever, most leaders understand the importance of stepping up
and demonstrating responsibility. But, where to start? oliverwyman.com
Kentucky Senate Committee approves raising felony threshold for theft charges;
$500 to $1,000
A bill that would increase the monetary threshold on felony theft charges passed
a Senate committee Thursday, although the bill faced opposition from the
Fraternal Order to Police. House Bill 424 is sponsored by Rep. C. Ed Massey, a
Hebron Republican. Currently, a charge of theft by unlawful taking becomes a
felony when the value of the stolen items exceeds $500. Massey’s bill would
increase the amount to $1,000.
Massey, an attorney, told the Senate Judiciary Committee the majority of cases
he has worked with clients who are charged with theft over $500 “were always
resolved” with plea agreements and the charge was amended to a misdemeanor.
Cases of theft by unlawful taking over $500 take “a lot of time on the docket, a
lot of time in court, and (they were) being resolved as misdemeanors anyway,”
Massey said. The idea behind the bill is to keep people who are not career
criminals who had a single theft over $500 from being saddled with a felony
record for the rest of their lives, he said. Drew Fox, government affairs
director for the Kentucky Fraternal Order of Police, said the bill would give a
“pay raise” to people who commit theft by allowing them to steal larger dollar
amounts without fear of a felony charge.

COVID-19: Getting Ready for the Next Business Continuity Challenge
What comes after you've empowered your remote workforce in the wake of the
coronavirus pandemic? Dealing with a large portion of that workforce getting
sick at the same time.
Business continuity planning (or resiliency) consists of preparing for how to
operate if we lose our technology, facilities, or people. During the COVID-19
pandemic, so far, we are mostly dealing with losing our facility and having to
have employees work remotely. What could come next? How do we prepare to deal
with a large portion of our workforce getting sick at the same time and
requiring isolation?
Generally, the solution for the loss of personnel is cross-training and
documentation, but many companies function on tribal knowledge and
relationships. This can work fine when everything is normal, but when we
start to lose key resources (those human routers that know how to connect to
critical institutional knowledge), we need documented processes to reference.
Once you identify the folks who are the only ones who know how to keep a key
technology or process running, you need to determine if you can get someone
cross-trained and then use that training to document the function. If
cross-training will not work, then the individual will have to automate or
document everything needed to ensure continuity of operations. I have found this
to be one of the hardest challenges but, considering the current pandemic, would
say now is the time to pull your critical human and technology resources off of
current operations, before you have to develop a crisis management plan instead.
Support phone trees for key functions are vital. It is important to know who the
experts are for different key functions. This could include third parties and
vendors.

NIST Updates and Expands Its Flagship Catalog of Information System Safeguards
Revision to SP 800-53 includes more useful safeguards for protecting system
security and privacy
After your organization forms a general plan for tackling its cybersecurity and
privacy risk management issues, it needs particular state-of-the-art tools to
make that plan a reality. Computer security and privacy experts at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have the answer with an updated
toolbox of safeguards for protecting an organization's operations and assets, as
well as the personal privacy of individuals.
NIST Draft Special Publication (SP) 800-53 Revision 5, Security and Privacy
Controls for Information Systems and Organizations, is a collection of
hundreds of specific measures for strengthening the systems, component products
and services that underlie the nation's businesses, government and critical
infrastructure. One of NIST's flagship risk management publications,
the
document is undergoing its first update in
seven years, and the agency is accepting public comments on the draft until
May 15, 2020.

How CSOs Can Strategically Keep Security on the Map, Part 2
This series is focused on a step-by-step approach for security leaders to
design, implement and measure a physical security program that supports
organizational priorities and operates with buy-in from organization’s
leadership team. The first installment covered the key steps of understanding
the organization’s business drivers and quantifying risk.
Establish Relationships with Key Business Leaders
It is crucial to understand the political dynamics in the organization and
establish strategic relationships. In most organizations, the most influential
roles are those which own Profit and Loss and through their responsibilities
drive revenue and create shareholder value. These include business unit
leaders, division presidents, the CEO and other executives.
Physical security provides an internal service to the organization; the
key business leaders (and their teams) are your “customers.” You should meet
with these business leaders to discuss your mandate. Some of them might not even
know what physical security is, how much funding it receives, and how it helps
or impacts their group. These internal customers need to understand and concur
with a yearly Service Level Agreement (SLA), which details what programs and/or
services your team will provide on a yearly basis.
Your ultimate objective is to build relationships with these individuals and
determine the best way to articulate the value of your security programs – the
indispensable ways in which the security team serves and protects their key
functions and operations.
Suggested Topics and Questions to Discuss with Key
Business Leaders
• What are their goals, business
drivers, observations and KPIs?
• What are their priorities?
• What are the costs of operational
downtime?
• What kind of events/incidents have
been disruptive in the past? What type of disruptions did they cause (e.g.,
costs, delays, injuries, etc.)?
• What factors determine when a new
supplier is engaged? To what extent are suppliers replaceable, and what kind of
lead time is needed? Who and how are suppliers vetted? Are any
suppliers/facilities single-sourced (e.g., component made only in one place) or
mission-critical?
Formulate Your Short-Term, Intermediate and Long-Term
Objectives into a Plan
As you create and document your security programs, it is crucial to relate your
objectives to the organization’s strategic objectives. Include timelines,
associated costs, potential delays or pitfalls, projected benefits and ROI and
the KPIs that will be used to measure success. Focus most on the short-term
aspects but relate them to the longer-term components – for example, ongoing
intelligence-gathering activities as a foundation for future business continuity
and crisis management planning.

Cannabis sales hit new highs in US and Canada
Cannabis shops listed as 'essential services', allowed to remain open
Cannabis
sales are touching new highs as customers across the US and Canada stockpile
weed to prepare for long spells of isolation because of the coronavirus
pandemic.
Between March 16 and March 22, sales of recreational cannabis across key US
markets, including California, Colorado, Oregon and Alaska, were up 50
percent and medical marijuana sales rose 41 percent from the same period last
year, figures obtained from cannabis point of sale and data platform Flowhub
show.
Several US states and Canadian provinces have taken steps to curb the
fast-spreading coronavirus by issuing stay at home orders, restricting business
operations, or closing down borders as death toll in both countries approaches
600. While many businesses have been ordered shut, cannabis stores have been
listed as essential services and allowed to remain open.

How The Coronavirus Pandemic Will Affect The Cannabis Industry
As difficult as it is to think about the cannabis industry and reform movement
at a time like this, the reality is that the coronavirus’ impact on our economy
and society is also impacting cannabis, with the effects likely to get
significantly worse in the coming weeks and potentially months.
Protect Patients First
It should go without saying that medical cannabis patients are the most
vulnerable cannabis consumers, and the most at risk of serious complications
from Covid-19. Dispensaries must take care to protect their patients, and
states must enact emergency regulations designed to help businesses serve
patients without compromising their health.
As states force the closure of more and more businesses to enforce social
distancing, medical cannabis dispensaries should be treated like other
essential businesses such as pharmacies and grocery stores. The lives of
thousands of patients depend on it.
cannabisbusinessexecutive.com
2020: Medical Cannabis Legalization
According to the National
Institute of Cannabis Investors, 33 states have legalized cannabis for
medical purposes and 11 states have legalized the plant’s recreational use.
It’s only a matter of time before more states follow suit and legalize cannabis
to treat medical patients in their state, attract out-of-state tourists, and
stimulate their economy. Two states that are likely to legalize medical
marijuana in 2020 are Nebraska and Mississippi.
Although the outbreak of the coronavirus has interrupted the economies of
many of the states in which cannabis has been legalized, it appears that
cannabis sales are surging. So far, it is yet to be seen how the virus will
impact the legalization efforts of states across the country.

Amazon and eBay failing to stop coronavirus profiteering, according to
investigation
Despite promises by both Amazon Marketplace and eBay to crack down on
coronavirus-profiteering, a Which? investigation has found plenty of sellers
charging inflated prices for goods such as hand sanitiser
Online retailers Amazon Marketplace and eBay are struggling to deal with the
scourge of
coronavirus-profiteering, as unscrupulous sellers and hoarders try to
offload items such as hand sanitiser, cleaning products and toilet paper at
inflated prices, according to an investigation by consumer association Which?.
This is in spite of warnings from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA),
which at the start of March 2020
warned online traders against exploiting the coronavirus outbreak to take
advantage of consumers, and has since
launched a Covid-19 Taskforce to tackle the problem head on.
The snapshot investigation by Which? found that third-party sellers are still
brazenly ripping off consumers and listing overpriced items that are currently
hard to find – albeit not necessarily in short supply.
“Online marketplaces have taken some action against coronavirus price gouging,
but our investigation shows unscrupulous sellers are still cashing in on
people’s fears by selling essential items at extortionate prices on eBay and
Amazon,” said Which? head of consumer protection, Sue Davies.
“These companies must make good on their pledges to stamp out coronavirus
profiteering, and if they fall short the CMA must be ready to take strong
enforcement action.

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?
