The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Organized Retail Flash Mobs Surging in New
Jersey
Bramnick wants gang-related shoplifters to spend minimum of one year in jail
N.J. state senator wants to end ‘open
stealing without fear of punishment’
In a bid to curb the increase in flash mobs organizing the looting of retail
stores, a key New Jersey lawmaker wants gang members convicted of
shoplifting to spend one year in a state prison.
State
Sen. Jon Bramnick (R-Westfield) is introducing
legislation that would create a mandatory one-year minimum sentence for gang
shoplifting, ending the presumption of non-imprisonment for certain
offender.
“The open stealing without fear of punishment is an issue,” said Bramnick.
Bramnick grew up in a family whose livelihood might have been threatened by gang
shoplifting. The senator’s father, Herb Bramnick, owned a
small retail stationary store in Plainfield.
Under Bramnick’s proposal, gang shoplifting would be a third degree crime
with a prison sentence of 3 to 5 years and a fine of up to $15,000. There
would be no eligibility for parole during the first year.
“We’re seeing more and more instances where flash mobs
of shoplifters have run through clothing stores, pharmacies, and
even a 7-Eleven recently where they smash and grab anything that isn’t
bolted down,” Bramnick said. “If people want to do these crimes, they need to
get the message that their next flash mob will be in jail.”
At the local level, an increase of shoplifting and auto thefts have become a
top issue of concern for residents. According to the National Retail
Federation, organized retail crime, sometimes known as smash-and-grab, has
sometimes been tied to transnational crime rings.
CVS has reported a 300% increase in retail theft since the start of the
pandemic,
Axios has reported.

Security Officer Murders & Shootings
73 security officers murdered, 309 shot from January-August 2022
The violence that continues to overtake the private security industry
leaving behind a trail of murdered security officers continues to go almost
unnoticed by the media and surprisingly, even by the largest contract security
services in the world including Allied Universal, now the largest global
provider of contract security services.
Private Officer International reported that forty-six security officers were
shot in August resulting in twelve homicides. From January through the end
of August, three hundred and nine security officers
have been shot and seventy-three have been victims of homicide.
In contrast, the National Fraternal Order of Police recently reported that at
the end of August, there have been 234 officers shot so far in 2022. That
is a 6% increase in numbers of officers shot from 2021 year-to-date (YTD)
and a 7% increase over 2020 YTD. Of those shot this year, 45 were killed
by gunfire
There have been 58 ambush-style attacks on law enforcement officers this year
that have resulted in 86 officers shot, 22 of whom were killed.
“Make no mistake, we are experiencing a real crisis with the level of
violence directed at law enforcement officers and private security personnel.
This past year has been one of the most dangerous years for both security and
law enforcement officers in recent history due to the increase of violence
directed toward officers.
Rick McCann, Founder and President of Private Officer International, a private
security and law enforcement organization said that each year, the number of
security officers injured and murdered continues to increase and during the past
four years, that increase has been in double digits.

Battling Theft with AI Tech
How can computer vision and AI aid retail loss prevention?
Reducing shrinkage is the primary objective of loss prevention systems. To keep
an eye on goods and employees, many advancements in sales-floor surveillance
have been achieved, including cameras, electronic article surveillance (EAS)
warnings and radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled loss prevention.
However, they limit retailers' ability to react quickly.
Computer vision and AI can decrease checkout fraud and
product loss
Retailers are investing in new technologies to combat retail shrink with
stronger loss prevention strategies at the front of the store as a result of
these growing issues. In order to help businesses fight shrink, lower theft, and
improve inventory management, retail security professionals are utilizing
artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision.
Integration of data from item-level tracking with computer vision and POS can
help combat checkout fraud, including at manned registers and
self-checkouts. Associates can spot fraud and take immediate action by comparing
item-level counts to POS-generated counts. Retailers may improve checkout
procedures by making them smarter with the aid of AI and computer vision,
which lowers theft and enhances inventory control.
A system can be configured to send a dashboard, POS alert, or mobile alert to
the staff member in charge as notification of potential theft or incorrect
billing if the two numbers don't match. Before a transaction is processed,
it allows store employees to step in and help, enabling the manager to process
the transaction manually.
If an AI system flags a suspicious transaction, store staff can inform customers
of the system error and give them the option to pay for the unscanned items.
Ultimately, the process may help in behavioral change, resulting in reduced
shrinkage and cost savings.

America's Gun Violence Epidemic
Mass shootings obscure daily U.S. gun toll
Homicide rates appear to be dropping in some major U.S. cities, such as New
York and Chicago, but in others killings are on the rise, particularly from
guns. In Portland, the homicide rate surged 207% since 2019 and there
have been more than 800 shootings so far this year. In Phoenix, police
Chief Jeri Williams said this week the gun violence was the worst she’d seen
in 33 years on the job.
Last
weekend’s rampages — which included a heavily armed assailant who stormed a
central Oregon supermarket, random shootings on Detroit streets and a
Phoenix man who opened fire while wearing body armor — were shocking and scary,
but they aren’t representative of the broader toll gun violence is taking on
American society, experts said.
Victims killed in mass shootings make up about 1% of all those killed in gun
homicides nationwide, despite headlines that instill fear in many Americans,
said James Fox, a professor at Northeastern University who has created a
database of mass killings stretching back to 2006 with The Associated Press and
USA Today.
The pandemic and the social unrest it caused has also played a role.
Eight million Americans became first-time gun owners between 2019 and 2021, said
Jeffrey Butts, director of the research and evaluation center for the John Jay
College of Criminal Justice at City University of New York.
“We already had 400 million guns in circulation. So when you bump that up
and include a lot of first-timers in the population, you get accidents, you get
precipitous behavior, you get people reacting to small insults and conflicts
with their guns because they’re in their pocket now,” he said.

Violent Labor Day Weekend
Spate of violence across US mars Labor Day weekend
At least nine mass shootings have taken place nationwide so far during
Labor Day weekend, leaving at least 10 people dead,
according to Gun Violence Archive.
The mass shootings, which the organization defines as incidents in which four or
more people were shot or killed, not including the shooter, took place in cities
including Norfolk, Va., Charleston, S.C., and Chicago, among others.
The deadliest shooting of the weekend so far, according to the group,
took place in Saint Paul, Minn., where three people died and two others
were injured on Sunday in the city’s Payne-Phalen neighborhood.
“This unthinkable crime will not only affect the crime victims and their
families, but it will affect the neighborhood where it occurred and our city
as a whole,” police spokesperson Sgt. Mike Ernster told KARE, adding that
authorities had been called to the house at least 17 times in the last year.
thehill.com
‘Red flag’ laws get little use even as mass shootings, gun deaths soar
U.S. states barely use the red flag laws touted as
the most powerful tool to stop gun violence before it happens, a trend blamed on
a lack of awareness of the laws and resistance by some authorities to enforce
them even as shootings and gun deaths soar.

The Pandemic Triggered a Tidal Wave of Changes
in the Workplace
Quiet quitting, real quitting, unionizing — what else are American workers up
to?
How we work, when we work, how much we work – it's all shifting on a scale not
seen in decades. The pandemic left workplaces reimagined and workers changed.
The number of job openings right now outnumbers people looking for work by
almost two-to-one.
Last year saw a record exodus of workers, and companies say they are still
struggling to hire. Millions have re-evaluated what type of work they were
willing to do for what type of pay or benefits and in what type of environment.
Despite inflation and economic slowdown, the labor market remains tight.
Employers kept adding jobs all summer, particularly in food and retail.
Layoffs have been confined to pockets of the economy – the tech sector,
cryptocurrency, home buying – and to select companies, like the beleaguered
Bed Bath & Beyond.
Office culture, too, has changed. Just over a third of workers were going to
offices in person at the end of August in New York, Philadelphia, Washington,
D.C., and San Francisco, according to Kastle Systems, which tracks office
card swipes. At Apple, J.P. Morgan, the Washington Post and other companies,
workers have pushed back on the notion that they have to return to offices
to be productive.
From baristas to warehouse staff to frontline nurses, more workers are filing
charges of unfair labor practices against their employers or staging walkouts
and strikes. They're demanding not just higher wages, but
improvements to safety and wellbeing: longer
breaks, more paid leave, more control over their schedules.
Labor organizers declared mid-2022 the #hotlaborsummer. Petitions to form a
union are up almost 60% compared to last year, continuing to reverse a
long-running decline in union interest. Many of these
workers are in food and retail, coffee shops and non-profits, media
and tech. Labor experts say more women and particularly women of color are
leading the charge.

Pharmacy Chains Prepare for New COVID Booster
Rollout
New COVID-19 boosters set for pharmacies, clinics nationwide
The updated COVID-19 boosters, signed off on by the FDA and CDC last week, are
shipping out to pharmacies and clinics across the country. These boosters
are designed to target the original strain of COVID-19, as well as the omicron
subvariants.
The updated doses are known as “bivalent” vaccines. According to the FDA,
they “contain two messenger RNA (mRNA) components of SARS-CoV-2 virus: one of
the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 and the other one in common between the BA.4
and BA.5 lineages of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2.”
Moderna’s updated booster is authorized for use in people ages 18 and older.
Pfizer’s is for people ages 12 and older. According to CDC guidelines, a single
booster dose can be administered at least two months after a person’s most
recent COVID-19 vaccine.

Bed Bath & Beyond CFO Jumped From 18th Floor
of His NYC Apartment
Bed Bath & Beyond CFO was subject of insider trading and fraud lawsuit just
before death, documents show
The death of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.’s chief financial officer comes as the
retailer has lost several members of its finance team and senior executives who
could temporarily step into the role for the holiday season.
Shares
of the company tumbled about 15% in premarket trading Tuesday after Gustavo
Arnal’s death
was ruled a suicide.
A
Wall Street Journal article points out that the loss of its CFO, COO
and CSO follows the departures of former CEO Mark Tritton and chief
merchandising officer Joel Hartsig on June 29.
It’s clear that he was under a great deal of pressure,
Business Insider reports. His death came less that two weeks after he
was named in a federal class-action lawsuit for insider trading. The lawsuit
claims he and activist investor and GameStop chairman Ryan Cohen "collaborated"
in a “pump and dump” scheme to artificially inflate the price of Bed Bath &
Beyond’s stock up before selling their shares in the company.
On August 18, both Mr. Arnal sold more than 42,000 shares with an estimated
value of more than $1 million. Mr. Cohen announced plans to sell his entire 9.8
percent stake in Bed Bath & Beyond.
The
suit, filed in United States District Court for the District of Columbia on
August 23, claims that Cohen and Arnal provided "materially false statements
regarding the financial condition and holding situation" of Bed Bath & Beyond
for their financial benefit. The lead plaintiff is investor Pengcheng Si.
The lawsuit further notes Cohen's involvement in similar plans, such as
elevating GameStop to "meme stock" status.

Governor Newsom
Signs Major Fast Food Bill Into Law
California governor signs fast food bill into law that could raise minimum wage
for workers in the state to $22 an hour by next year
An
industry trade group says the bill could raise costs for fast food restaurants
by $3 billion.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the
FAST Recovery Act, unprecedented legislation that gives fast food workers
a say on hourly pay and working conditions, including giving them the power
to raise the minimum wage next year to $22 an hour.
AB 257 , which Newsom signed on Labor Day, creates a 10-member
council of fast food workers, franchisees, franchisors, advocates for fast food
employees, and representatives from the governor's office. The
council will establish minimum standards on wages, working hours, and
other working conditions related to the health and safety
of workers. The law applies to food chains with more than 100
locations, including Starbucks, Wendy's, Burger King, and McDonald's.
The industry's trade organization, National Restaurant Association, and chains
such as McDonald's, have denounced the bill. They maintain it will hurt
small business owners, including fast food franchisees who own one or two
restaurants.
The FAST Recovery Act impacts about 550,000 fast-food workers in California.
Many have fought for years for increases in the state's minimum wage, which is
currently $15 an hour for employers with 26 or more employees.
Mary Kay Henry, the president of the Service Employees International Union
President, said she expects fast-food workers battling McDonald's, Wendy's,
and Burger King for fair wages in other states to ask their lawmakers to
propose similar legislation like AB 257.

Labor Day Union Protests
Union organizers target Amazon and Starbucks execs in Labor Day rally
Labor
activists rallied Monday afternoon in front of the Greenwich Village
residence of Howard Schultz, the interim CEO of Starbucks, before marching
up Fifth Avenue to gather outside the
penthouse owned by Jeff Bezos, the founder and executive chairman of
Amazon. They called on the executives to recognize and negotiate with the
unions that have formed at their companies and to stop seeking to deter
organizing efforts.
Starbucks and Amazon union organizers from across New York state and from other
parts of the country were joined by supporters who came to show solidarity
with them on Labor Day. Elected officials including State Sen. Jessica Ramos
and Councilmember Tiffany Caban were also in attendance at the demonstration,
which eventually made its way to Times Square.
Both companies have pushed back against the fresh wave of union organizing
they have seen over the past couple of years.

New biometrics standards on the way
New standards related to biometrics and online transactions are coming
from NIST
NIST is advancing towards the publication of a
standard for the quality of images used in face biometrics. The standard
is expected to be in place by the end of the year, and Idemia North America’s
Donnie Scott says meeting it could end up becoming a requirement for government
contracts.
The onset of the pandemic raised the question of how well facial recognition
would work with masked faces. The latest answer is that even masks
custom-made by Privacy International to defeat biometric algorithms may not be
successful.
The
CHIPS and Science Act, signed into American law, creates a new NSF
directorate for machine learning and tasks NIST with establishing standards
for identity verification and attribute validation.

What Will Be The Impact Of 'Hot Desking' On The Security Marketplace?
With fewer employees working in the office, and more of them working from home,
it is no longer necessary for each employee to have their ‘own’ desk. Rather,
desks may be used by various people at different times, as needed on an ad hoc
basis. This arrangement, known as ‘hot desking,’ maximises space efficiency and
reduces unneeded office space.
The move to ‘hot desking’ and hybrid working in general will see a lot more
movement of people, which has obvious implications for security. For example,
the use of lockers and cabinets to store valuables and confidential materials
will become even more important, which is an ideal application for wireless
locks. Occupancy management is another security facet that is essential for this
hybrid working environment.
It will also be essential that security and access control be fully integrated
with the IT infrastructure (such as Active Directory) to ensure sign-on access
to these systems as well as physical access to a facility. This is also where
the use of smartphone credentials will be invaluable, as facilities become
increasingly automated, and tokens/cards become less practical to deploy and
use.
‘Hot desking’ requires that access control and occupancy be monitored more
closely. Technology features of various security systems contribute to a
successful approach to optimize utilization of physical and real estate assets.
Full integration of security and access control systems with the IT
infrastructure also enables a ‘hot desking’ approach.

Top Reason (85%) For Higher Budget Increases -
Wage War
2023 Salary Budgets Projected to Stay at 20-Year High but Trail Inflation
Total rewards professionals expect pay budgets to rise 4.1% on average
Salary increase budgets in the U.S. are projected to grow, on average, just
over 4 percent for 2023, less than half of the current annual inflation rate
of 8.5 percent, according to new survey data.
WorldatWork's Salary Budget Survey shows that salary increase budgets in
the U.S. rose to an average of 4.1 percent in 2022, a 20-year high and much
larger than the average 3.3 percent increase that last year's survey of total
rewards professionals projected in August 2021.
Forecast for Merit Increases
Compensation survey and consulting firm Empsight's
2022 Policies, Practices & Merit Survey report, which includes 2023
forecasts, shows that of 259 U.S. companies reporting a merit increase forecast
for 2023:
●
Approximately 35 percent are budgeting 3 percent.
●
Approximately 40 percent are forecasting 4 percent or higher.
The survey was conducted between April and July 2022.
"The rapid rise in salary increase budgets over the past couple years, combined
with today's volatile economic environment, challenges HR pros to leverage data
and think strategically as they formulate 2023 compensation budget
recommendations and negotiate with CFOs."

Retailers Added 44,000 Jobs in August
Labor market added 315,000 jobs in August, a bright spot in the economy
The U.S. labor market added 315,000 jobs last month, hitting a 20-month
streak in strong job growth that’s powering an economy through ominously high
inflation.
The unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 3.7 percent, according to a
monthly jobs report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday. Some
344,000 more people were unemployed than in July, partly because more workers
rejoined the labor force, newly looking for work.
Employment in health care rose by 48,000 jobs, with notable additions in
doctors’ offices, hospitals, and nursing and residential-care facilities.
Retail trade added 44,000 jobs, and
manufacturing continued to trend up by 22,000 positions.

Safeway Shooter Was Former Employee
Oregon Safeway shooter wrote manifesto planning 'national tragedy'
The
deranged mass shooter who
killed two men in an Oregon supermarket appears to have written a disturbing
online manifesto bragging about his plans to commit a "national tragedy"
- initially planning a school slaughter "inspired" by Columbine.
Ethan Blair Miller, 20, was named by police Monday as the gunman who killed
an 84-year-old customer as well as a heroic 66-year-old
employee who tackled him as he sprayed shots through the Safeway in
Bend late Sunday.
Miller - who was carrying an AR-15 and a shotgun and had weapons and bombs in
his car - shot himself dead before he could be arrested, police said.
He previously worked at the store, but had no known criminal record,
and police said they had no evidence of prior contact with him.

Death Blow for American Data Privacy and
Protection Act?
Congress mulls data privacy bill that would void California’s tougher
protections
key congressional committee is pushing a federal bill to bolster protections
for consumers’ online data privacy, but California lawmakers have launched
an aggressive bid to amend or block the legislation because it would unravel the
state’s own tougher protections.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) delivered a potential death knell for
the American Data Privacy and Protection Act late last week when she said it
should not be allowed to override California’s law.
Pelosi’s
public opposition, which echoes concerns from Gov. Gavin Newsom and the
California Privacy Protection Agency, marks an escalation in the standoff
between California lawmakers and a large bipartisan group of supporters.
In an apparent attempt to appease the state, the bill was updated to grant
the state privacy agency authority to enforce the federal law, but it is
unclear whether Congress has the legal authority to grant a state agency such
power.
The bill attempts to limit the ways in which tech
companies can collect, share or sell consumers’ personal information,
such as location tracking, health data and private messages.
The legislation is widely supported by the tech industry. But skeptics
say industry leaders are trying to push the federal bill to block the
California law before it takes full effect and prevent a patchwork of
varying state standards. Enforcement of the state law begins in July.
The federal bill “is weaker than the California law,” said Ashkan Soltani,
executive director of the California Privacy Protection Agency, created by the
2018 California Consumer Privacy Act and its accompanying 2020 proposition, to
enforce the law. “This is a false choice. Congress does not need to preempt the
California law in order to give the country effective privacy enforcement.”
He cited the California law’s ability to allow consumers to opt out of
programs that use artificial intelligence to create a profile based on their
personal data. That benefit would be lost if the federal law can preempt
state law.

BEC Schemes Cost Businesses $43B Since 2016
CISO strategies for banks combatting business email compromise
Business
email compromise (BEC) can pose both cyber and financial risks to an
organization. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), BEC
cost
$43 billion globally between June 2016 and December 2021.
BEC and phishing attacks have targeted funds by exploiting social engineering
tactics to have victims initiate bank transfers to cybercriminals. In an FBI
public service announcement, the organization shared that the Internet Crime
Complaint Center (IC3) has viewed an uptick in BEC complaints involving
cryptocurrency. The banking industry made up
11% of targets for phishing attacks in 2021, and other financial sector
players remained top targets as well, with e-commerce
making up 17% of phishing targets.
How to defend against business email compromise
"Banks and banking customers are high-value targets for hackers," said
Chip Gibbons, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Thrive Network.
Gibbons shared tips for CISOs and security leaders in the financial sector who
are combatting phishing attacks and business email compromise.
Cybersecurity tools
Multi-factor authentication and spam filtering should be implemented
across banks and financial organizations as standard practices, according to
Gibbons.
Employee awareness training
Along with cybersecurity tools, security professionals can institute employee
security awareness training to reduce instances of successful BEC. He
recommends monthly or quarterly trainings that last between five and 10 minutes
"to keep it fresh and top of mind with employees without losing their interest."
Responding to a successful business email compromise
Prevention is key to combatting business email compromise, but "everyone can
and will make a mistake at one point in time," said Gibbons. Cybersecurity
leaders must be prepared to act in the aftermath of a successful phishing or BEC
attack.

Amazon Defeated in Effort to Stop Union
Certification
Amazon 'overruled', NLRB recommends certifying Staten Island union vote
Amazon
was handed a defeat on Thursday in a contentious battle against its New
York City workers seeking to unionize a fulfillment center in Staten Island.
In a report issued by an administrative law judge for the National Labor
Relations Board (NLRB), a hearing officer for the agency recommended that votes
submitted during the facility’s March election, narrowly in favor of
unionization, should stand.
"After conducting a hearing over 24 business days via the Zoom...and carefully
reviewing the evidence and arguments made by the parties, the hearing officer,
Lisa Dunn, concluded that [Amazon's] objections should be overruled in their
entirety," stated Kayla Blado, press Secretary for the NLRB's office of
Congressional and Public Affairs.
The recommendation, which now goes to an NLRB regional director for an official
ruling, says Amazon Labor Union should be certified as the bargaining
representative for the facility's hourly full-time and regular-part time
associates over the objection of Amazon, which argued that the vote should be
recast due to conduct by the NLRB''s Region 29 and others that it said impacted
election results.
Amazon spokesperson, Kelly Nantel, responded to the NLRB's recommendation,
saying that the company is still reviewing the decision, though strongly
disagrees with the conclusion and intends to appeal.
"As we showed throughout the hearing with dozens of witnesses and hundreds of
pages of documents, both the NLRB and the ALU improperly influenced the
outcome of the election and we don’t believe it represents what the majority
of our team wants,” Nantel said.
The final tally for the election at the warehouse known as JFK8 included votes
from less than 32% of the facility's workers. Those in favor of unionization
totaled 2,654 and votes against totaled 2,131. Another 67 were challenged.

Amazon's One-Click Checkout Service Under Fire
Shopify warns merchants against using Amazon’s ‘Buy With Prime’ service
Shopify is warning merchants that Amazon’s one-click checkout service
violates its terms of service, according to Marketplace Pulse.
Shopify is pushing back on Amazon’s one-click checkout service. The e-commerce
platform is warning merchants who try to install Amazon’s “Buy With Prime”
button on their storefront that it violates Shopify’s terms of service,
and is also raising the specter of security risks, according to research firm
Marketplace Pulse.
Amazon introduced Buy With Prime
in April, pitching it as a way for merchants to grow traffic on their own
websites. The service lets merchants add the Prime logo and offer Amazon’s
speedy delivery options on their sites. Members of the retail giant’s Prime
loyalty club can check out using their Amazon account.
Shopify will not protect merchants who try to use Buy With Prime against
fraudulent orders, according to a screenshot of a notice Shopify sent to
merchants. The notice also warns that Amazon’s service could steal customer
data, and charge customers incorrectly.

Riverside County, CA: Smash-and-grab robbers steal $80,000 of jewelry from
business in California market
Two men armed with blunt objects stole upwards of $80,000 of jewelry in a
smash-and-grab robbery at a business inside a Moreno Valley market on Friday,
Sept. 2. Just before 3 p.m., the suspects entered the business in the Cardenas
Market in the 25000 block of Sunnymead Boulevard, off Perris Boulevard and south
of the 60 Freeway. The suspects carried hammers or similar objects to break open
a display case, said Riverside County Sheriff’s Sgt. Edward Soto. The business
is not a jewelry store, but had a case containing jewelry, Soto said. There were
no injuries reported, and neither of the suspects were seen carrying guns.
Cardenas Markets in Riverside, Murrieta and Fontana have also been similarly hit
since July. Thieves made off with about $100,000 from the Cardenas Market on La
Sierra Avenue in Riverside, according to Javier Cabrera, a Police Department
spokesman. He and police in Fontana said detectives in the region are comparing
notes to determine whether the same robbers hit the stores.

A survey showed that executives with "mentors" were more satisfied, got promoted
more quickly, and even made more money than those who didn't have them. With
this finding, it's obvious everyone should have one. It's a serious obligation
and a serious relationship. Make sure your mentor is one that you want to
emulate and one that will take it seriously. Finding a good mentor will be a
difficult task and should not be taken lightly. Check them out on the web first
because you can find out everything about everyone in about three minutes now on
the web.
