Using Data to Keep Up with Increasingly Empowered Consumers and
Associated Loss
October 12, 2021 - 1:00pm EST
Loss Prevention teams maximize profits by minimizing
preventable loss and correcting potential problems before they can
impact the business’ bottom line. Once we identify an issue, we can
help develop new strategies, approaches, or recommend changes to
existing policies and procedures to reduce the potential for loss
without negatively impacting the customer experience. But our
ability to accomplish this is only as good as the information we
have.
The future of the Loss Prevention and Asset Protection industry will
be shaped by more technology and data. Combining traditional POS
sales data with promotion, eCommerce, labor, inventory, loyalty, and
more will unlock new and creative ways to reduce loss and maximize
profitability across the business.
This webinar will cover:
●
The top data integrations LP professionals want
●
How to draw correlations between data sets
●
Adding value to cross-functional areas of the business
●
Improving the quality and breadth of your analytics and
reports
●
And more…

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Kroger Joins Buy Safe America Coalition
Kroger joins effort to protect businesses, consumers from ORC
 The
Kroger Co. has joined the Buy Safe America Coalition in an effort to help
combat organized crime.
The coalition is
a diverse group of retailers, consumer groups, manufacturers and law enforcement
who support efforts to combat organized retail crime and protect
consumers and communities from the sale of counterfeit and stolen goods.
Organized retail crime has
plagued the country in recent years, and the losses from these
large-scale thefts are costing American businesses billions of dollars annually.
The stolen goods are frequently sold on e-commerce platforms where there is
minimal verification of seller identities.
Store employees have also been put at as
organized retail crime rings become increasingly violent and brazen. The
surges have spurred businesses to take swift action to protect both employees
and customers.
Kroger has been at the forefront of efforts to stop organized retail crime, and
has
a
designated crime unit dedicated to preventing these sprees. Kroger
has initiated over 2,000 ORC cases, and trains hundreds of thousands of its
associates to better understand and recognize instances of organized retail
crime.
“As retailers nationwide continue to battle organized retail crime,
Kroger looks forward to partnering with the Buy Safe America Coalition to put an
end to this public safety risk,” said
Mark Stinde, Kroger’s VP of asset protection. “We are proud to
support the coalition’s efforts to pass the INFORM Consumers Act, which will
bring much-needed accountability to online marketplaces filled with goods stolen
from store shelves.”
Other members of the
Buy Safe America Coalition, including The Home Depot, Rite Aid, Walgreens, 3M,
HP and GSK.

and counterfeit goods and solutions to better protect consumers and businesses.

Walmart Launches Crime Prevention & Criminal
Justice Reform Fund
Walmart Invests $3.3 Million in Criminal Justice Reform, Violence Prevention
Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer will fund the creation and expansion of four
interconnected, reform-focused networks
 Walmart
on Thursday announced that its Walmart.org Center for Racial Equity,
established in 2020, is funding the
launch and expansion of four networks that seek to advance criminal justice
reform and prevent violence in communities.
The four networks have received a
total of $3.3 million in seed money so far from Walmart and the Walmart
Foundation, Walmart.org Center for Racial Equity director Marvin Carr
noted in a blog post on Walmart's website. Once fully up and running, the
efforts and findings of each will inform the work of the others, Carr wrote.
For example, the work of the new People's Commissions on Criminal Justice
Reform,
which will launch in 14 cities, will support work on the ground of the
new Prison Fellowship Opportunity Youth Network, which will look to create
positive experiences for children who have an incarcerated parent.
"Some might wonder why a retailer wants to change the narrative on criminal
justice," Carr said. "But the answer is clear: Walmart is fundamentally a people
business. When people—potential community leaders, talent or customers—are lost
to the criminal justice system, it hurts the whole community.
Walmart is only as strong as the communities where it operates, and our business
leaders recognize that."
The
four networks receiving money to kickstart or expand their operations are
the aforementioned
People's Commissions and the youth network as well as the new
Criminal Justice Reform Prevention Research Network and the
National Offices of Violence Prevention Network.

LA's Armed Robbery & Violence Wave
A wave of armed robberies along Melrose Avenue highlights bigger problem
"The wonderful shopping district is crumbling," one store owner said.
 The
thefts were the latest in a string of brazen armed holdups and other crimes in
the Melrose and Fairfax shopping areas in recent months. Although Los Angeles
Police Chief Michel Moore accurately reported to the Police Commission this week
that overall in the city “robberies are essentially flat” compared with last
year, beneath those numbers is
a disturbing trend of rising robberies involving guns.
In the first eight months of 2021,
1,218 robberies involving guns were recorded across the city, an 18% increase
over the same period last year.
In the LAPD divisions that patrol the popular shopping district along Melrose
Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood, the increase has been more dramatic.
Armed robberies involving guns have jumped by more than half in Wilshire
Division, and
Hollywood Division has recorded a 78% rise.
“You’ve heard of Taco Tuesdays. Well, robberies Tuesday has become the norm in
the Melrose district,” said Peter Nichols, who helps run Melrose Action, a
community group. “We have a
violent crime or two or three in the district every week. The common
language is lawlessness. ... I have never seen so much chatter about being in
fear.”
The amount of bloodshed has climbed too. Through Wednesday,
22 people have been shot in Wilshire Division’s patrol area — up from 14 during
the same period in 2020. There were five homicides in the division
through the middle of September in 2020 and 13 this year.
Overall in the city, crime is down 1.4% this year, but
violent crime is up 6% and homicides have increased 21%.
Dom DeLuca, owner of Brooklyn Projects, a skateboard shop on Melrose, said his
sales in September are down more than a quarter. He
attributed the drop to the increase in crime.
DeLuca was critical of Mayor Eric Garcetti, Dist. Atty. George Gascón and
Councilman Paul Koretz for what he said were their insufficient steps to address
the crisis.
Robbers, DeLuca said, feel a sense of impunity because they don’t believe
they’ll get caught.
“The mayor of L.A. needs to come down here to see the great city he talks about,
the wonderful shopping district, is crumbling,” he said.

Pandemic & Police Brutality & Racism Driving
U.S. Homicide Epidemic
On the front lines of the U.S. homicide epidemic: Milwaukee faces historic
violence
Milwaukee is in the grip of the worst violence in its modern history.
There were 189 killings here last year, a 93% increase from 2019 and the most
ever recorded.
The jump reflects a nationwide trend. In
one study, researchers from the nonprofit Council on Criminal Justice looked
at 34 cities and found that 29 had more homicides last year than in 2019. The
overall rise was 30%, though in most places killings remained below their peaks
in the 1990s.
Among the 19 cities with more than half a million people — including Los
Angeles, New York and Chicago — none saw a bigger surge than Milwaukee.
With 127 killings through the first half of September, the city is nearly on
pace to match last year’s record.
The uniformity of the nationwide rise has launched multiple theories
about what is driving it. Nearly all center on the pandemic — which has caused
enormous hardships — and the mass movement against police brutality and
racism, which changed policing and the relationship between law enforcement
and communities where violence has long been concentrated.
Did a society on edge, with schools closed, social programs shut down and people
cramped up at home, simply become more violent? Were more people carrying guns?
Did police retreat in a way that emboldened criminals? Experts say it could take
years to unravel those questions, but the toll of the fallen has struck hard in
neighborhoods across the country.

Half of the nation’s largest police departments have banned or limited neck
restraints since June
62% now explicitly prohibit both carotid holds and chokeholds
At least 32 of the nation’s 65 largest police departments have banned or
strengthened restrictions on the use of neck restraints since the Memorial Day
death of George Floyd.
A Post survey of the 65 largest U.S. police departments found that 46 prohibit
chokeholds in their use-of-force policies, while 44 prohibit carotid holds in
those policies. These formal rules list the tactics and techniques officers may
or may not use on suspects in various scenarios and can be critical tools in
holding officers accountable.
The survey examined the policies of the largest U.S. police departments by
population served. Together, these departments serve almost 64 million Americans
— about 20 percent of the nation’s population.
In addition to strengthened restrictions on neck restraints, police departments
have begun to reconsider officers’ duty to intervene following Floyd’s
killing. Since then, at least seven of the nation’s 65 largest departments have
started requiring officers to intervene if a colleague is using excessive force.
In all, 48 of the 65 departments have a “duty to intervene” provision in
their use-of-force policies.
“There are 18,000 police departments, and each of them is setting their own
policies,” said Anthony Chapa, executive director of the Hispanic American
Police Command Officers Association. “There is no national police like there are
in other countries where policies can be put in place and they are required
everywhere.”

Parking Lot Killing Prompts Lawsuit Against Guard
& Security Company
Wrongful death alleged in Portland security guard shooting
Freddy Nelson Jr. was killed May 29 after a Cornerstone Security Group guard
shot through his windshield.
 Freddy
Nelson Jr. was
shot and killed in his car by an armed security guard in at the Delta Park
Center in North Portland in May of this year. Now, his family —
represented by Freddy Nelson's adult son, Kiono Nelson — is pursuing legal
action.
Kiono Nelson and his lawyer, Tom D'Amore, said the family is working on filing a
wrongful death claim against the shooter, Logan Gimbel; the security company,
Cornerstone Security Group; and TMT Development, who hired Cornerstone.
According to D'Amore and information he got from witnesses, Gimbel approached
Freddy Nelson's truck for unclear reasons on May 29
in the Lowe's parking lot at the Delta Park Center.
Gimbel, an armed security guard, told Nelson to put his hands behind his
back. Instead, D'Amore said, Nelson and his wife, Kari Nelson, got in his truck.
Then, Gimbel reached inside a back window and pepper-sprayed the couple.
After that, Gimbel moved to
the front of the vehicle and shot through the windshield four times,
D'Amore said, killing Freddy Nelson.
D'Amore said the family is directing the lawsuit at Cornerstone, TMT Development
and Gimbel because of how and why the shooting happened.
It's "clear negligence," he said, but maybe even beyond it, too.
D'Amore said
this case also fits into the national conversation about gun control and trends
of excessive force — particularly deadly force.

Minneapolis's Deadliest Year in a Generation
The men and women wounded in seven separate shootings spanning less than 30
hours between midnight Saturday and 3 a.m. Sunday are the latest victims of gun
violence in

At a news conference Sunday, Minneapolis police spokesman Officer Garrett Parten
said the rising crime is concerning but can't be addressed by police alone.
"Seven incidents, 11 people shot — that's unacceptable. And it's not normal. We
don't see that every weekend."

COVID-19 Deaths Up 22%
Average daily COVID deaths in U.S. hit a mark not seen since March 1
 The
average U.S. daily
death toll from Covid-19 over the last seven days surpassed 2,000 this weekend,
the first time since March 1 that deaths have been so high, according to a New

Texas and Florida, two of the hardest-hit states in the country, account for
more than 30 percent of those deaths: Florida, where 56 percent of the
population is vaccinated, averages about 353 deaths a day, and Texas, where 50
percent of the population is vaccinated, averages about 286 deaths a day. In the
United States as a whole, 54 percent of all people are vaccinated.
Hot spots continue to speckle the map of the country, many of them in line with
low vaccination rates but others in areas where vaccinations are among
the highest.

In-Store Violence
Century Old Mantra + Pandemic = Aggressive
Consumers
And is fueled by the overall increase in violence
Customer is always right mantra has led to associate abuse
Gives shoppers a license to abuse workers
The pandemic has revealed just how much customers believe they should always get
their way.
 18
months into the pandemic, it's clear that not only is that mantra indelibly
baked into the American shopping experience, it's also dangerous. It's created a
sense of entitlement among shoppers that has led to agression and even
violence toward retail workers.
"We've gone past the point where the retailer was in charge to a point in
society where the customer is in charge," And that ethos has pervaded consumer
culture, creating a world where many believe getting anything you want, when you
want it, should be the norm, not the exception.
Violence against retail workers has spiked during the
pandemic
The pandemic has revealed just how much power has been ceded to American
consumers — or, perhaps more accurately, how much power consumers believe they
should have.
When the coronavirus struck last March, retail workers across the country
were charged with enforcing government or store policies around masks. At
the time that they were afraid to ask shoppers to don a mask upon entry out of
concern for their own safety. Customers who didn't get their way, workers
feared, would get violent.
Reports of
workers being attacked or
customers becoming chaotic or aggressive have become commonplace over the
last 18 months — in fact, 80% of workers
said in a poll earlier this year that they've experienced hostile
behavior from customers who didn't want to follow safety protocols, and 39%
said they were leaving their jobs because of it.
Last month, employees at a Los Angeles McDonald's
held a rally outside the restaurant to protest to what they described as a
pattern of violence at the hands of customers. And Gap recently teamed up with
competitors like H&M, American Eagle, and Ralph Lauren on a campaign to
encourage shoppers to show
support for workers who are being harassed by other customers.
But those measures won't be enough to curb bad behavior from customers who
believe they have the right to do as they please in stores and restaurants.
"We have to be careful about how much gas we put in the tank and what kind of
license we give customers to do business with us," "I think that retailers are
going to be a lot more careful about portraying themselves as wide-open
opportunities for customers."

Security Guards: The New Vaccine Enforcers
Private Security Now Vaccination Proof Enforcers
In many cases, it’s been a battle. A never-ending argument between those
trying to enforce the rules and those who don’t want to follow the rules.
For security, it’s been catch twenty-two. Do I enforce the rules and risk
getting into a physical altercation or do I just soft-peddle it and back down
when someone doesn’t want to listen or obey the rules?
But now, those duties have been increased further, to a more personal level
and one that will put security officers face to face and toe to toe with even
more non-compliant, disruptive, and disorderly combatants. Amid fears over
the delta coronavirus variant, and as many states see a new spike in infections,
more restaurants and bars have been requiring customers to show proof that they
are vaccinated against COVID-19. Many customers have refused, become disruptive,
and even assaulted staff.
In New York, the “Key to NYC Pass” vaccine mandate is in effect,
restaurant staff is now required to ask customers 12-years-of-age and older for
proof of vaccination if they want to dine in. California businesses have also
started asking unvaccinated customers to show proof of a negative
coronavirus test before entering.
To increase compliance and to keep the peace, more security officers have
been hired to help with enforcing the Covid era policies and to eject those who
don’t want to follow the program.
With this new security officer duty, there’s sure to be more assaults or even
deaths of security enforcers and more than likely, more security officers will
be arrested for excessive force. Not to mention, the business side of this
equation. Some insurance premiums will be increasing, there will be more
liability and risks for security companies. Overall, it’s going to cost
everyone involved.

10,000+ COVID Cases, 27 Deaths Among TSA Workers
Over 10,000 TSA workers have had COVID-19 & 27 have died
 The
Transportation Security Administration has officially recorded more than
10,000 cases of COVID-19 among its employees since the beginning of the
pandemic. The TSA recorded its 10,000th case during the first week of
September, a representative for the agency said.
As of Friday, total confirmed cases of COVID-19 among employees had
risen to 10,243. Of those total cases,
the TSA recorded 27 deaths, not counting two deaths among screening
contractors.
Most of the remaining workers who had been infected — 9,728 employees — had
already recovered, according to the TSA. Still,
515 employees were said to be suffering from active COVID-19 infections as of
Friday.
Per the TSA’s current policy, employees with active infections are placed on
paid administrative leave while they recover.
In addition to providing its overall tally of COVID-19 infections, the
TSA has listed every U.S. airport where an infected employee was stationed,
and whether they worked in a screening or non-screening capacity. The agency
also included the date of each airport’s most recent case.

Apple's New Employee Vaccine Policy
Apple’s new COVID-19 policy requires vaccinations to skip ‘frequent’ testing
 It’s
unclear if vaccinations will be mandatory for all employees
Starting next month,
Apple will “infrequently” test employees who come into its offices and stores
for COVID-19, if they’re vaccinated.
Unvaccinated employees will have to get frequent testing. Apple CEO Tim
Cook and senior vice president of retail and people Deirdre O’Brien announced
the new policy during an all-hands meeting today, according to an audio
recording obtained by The Verge.
The company’s updated
guidelines appear to line up with the OSHA standards that will be established as
a result of
the Biden administration’s push to increase vaccination rates. Those
standards say companies of 100 people or more must require either immunization
or weekly testing.
Apple recently pushed back the date when it expects employees to return to its
office in response to a surge of cases and the Delta variant. An
internal email in August specified that the mandatory return is delayed
until at least January 2022, and employees can expect a one-month notice ahead
of time before it goes into effect.

Time to Fight Back
How Wireless Providers Should Leverage a Federal Indictment to Stop Cellphone
Traffickers
A Texas federal grand jury recently returned an
indictment charging 101 individuals in a transnational cellphone
trafficking conspiracy responsible for stealing more than 70,000 devices worth
nearly $100 million from wireless service providers and their customers.
Telecom providers, however, can maximize the results of their own efforts to
stem the flow of illegally obtained phones by piggybacking on the recent
indictment. See Indictment Below in ORC
●
Telecom providers can reap the benefits of the government’s investigation and
asset seizure.
●
Providers should also consider offering to testify at trial and sentencing, and
submit victim impact statements.
●
In addition to participating as a victim in the criminal case, telecom providers
can take advantage of the information obtained by the government and file civil
lawsuits against the named unindicted aggregators, and capitalize on the moment
to take action against traffickers nationwide.
●
Quick self-help action by telecom providers, immediately after an indictment, is
extremely valuable. Shutting down aggregators is crucial to making lasting
reductions in handset losses and reducing armed robberies at retail stores.

American Dream’s Luxury Wing Opens With Five Stores, Lots Of Barricaded
Storefronts
 The
Avenue opened September 17 with four stores in addition to Saks: Hermes, Dolce &
Gabbana, Johnny Was, and Mulberry, and a fine-dining restaurant, Carpaccio.
The owners of American Dream decided not to wait for their luxury wing to reach
a critical mass of stores before holding the grand opening. After all, shoppers,
and Saks, have already been waiting a long time for the wing to open.
When they opened the Nickelodeon amusement park, ice rink, and the Big Snow
indoor ski slope in late 2019, Triple Five was under pressure to answer skeptics
who doubted whether the mall would ever open.
Other stores, including Tiffany, Saint Laurent, Jonathan Adler, Anne Fontaine,
and Zadig & Voltaire, and a champagne bar, are expected to open over the coming
month, a Dream spokesperson said. Korean eyewear brand Gentle Monster is
scheduled to open next year.

An Inside Look at Workplace Racial Affinity Groups
As many employers struggle to achieve racial equity in the workplace, a new
approach has emerged that can help create a more equitable and inclusive
culture.
Racial affinity groups, or racial caucuses, provide separate spaces for people
who share a racial identity to gather, share experiences and explore how racism
may manifest in their organizations, say diversity experts. Employers can use
the recommendations that emerge from these groups to take corrective action,
address racial inequities and advance the company's diversity, equity and
inclusion (DE&I) goals.

Kroger Calls Out ORC Gangs
Crime Rings, Big Packs and 'Mind-Boggling' Reviews as Kroger Navigates Q2
Retailer
joining peers to combat organized theft
 A sustained trend toward consumers eating at home, along with increased
flexibility in providing them with varied ways to shop, is brightening the sales
outlook for Kroger Co., while rising costs, and
issues including an uptick in
organized retail crime, is putting additional pressures on the bottom line.
CEO Rodney McMullen said supply chain and shrink together were responsible for
about half of an 80-basis decrease in profits as a percent of sales during the
quarter. And while he said he believed supply chain woes were transitory in
nature,
shrink was "heavily
driven by organized crime, or at least it appears so,"
and suggested that could be a longer-term issue throughout retail that it would
look to address through legislative means and with the support of industry trade
groups.
The remark was notable in that
Kroger has rarely called out
organized crime as a meaningful source of shrink before, although the issue is
gaining attention in the larger retail industry.

The Fight Against Ransomware
U.S. to Target Crypto Ransomware Payments With Sanctions
Biden administration hopes to disrupt digital finance infrastructure that
facilitates ransomware cyberattacks, a threat traced to Russia
Hit them where it hurts: The government hopes to choke off access to
cryptocurrency in certain situations in a bid to limit the potential payoff from
ransomware, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Treasury Department plans to impose the sanctions as soon as next week, the
people said, and will issue fresh guidance to businesses on the risks associated
with facilitating ransomware payments, including fines and other penalties.
Later this year, expected new anti-money-laundering and terror-finance rules
will seek to limit the use of cryptocurrency as a payment mechanism in
ransomware attacks and other illicit activities.

Consumer-Focused Labeling Program for IoT Devices
IoT 'Nutrition' Labels Aim to Put Security on Display
NIST has laid the groundwork for an easy-to-understand way to communicate to
consumers the security of software and connected devices.
 An
all-out effort to
develop a consumer-focused security labeling program will likely initially focus
on Internet of Things (IoT) devices
and could include many technology products used by small businesses as well.
The "Workshop on Cybersecurity Labeling Programs for Consumers: Internet of
Things (IoT) Devices and Software," held this week by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), is the government agency's
latest step in creating a consumer labeling program to communicate the security
capabilities of applications and connected devices,
an effort mandated by the Biden administration's Executive Order on Improving
the Nation's Cybersecurity, issued in May 2021. The initiative includes
government agencies, private industry, and academic experts, with the groups
rushing to create requirements and institute pilot programs because the first
deadline — the identification of the criteria and components of such a label —
must be completed by February 2022.
The goal is to improve the security of products by giving consumers and small
businesses the information they need to make security a factor in their
purchasing decisions,
says Warren Merkel, leader of the standards services group in the Standards
Coordination Office at NIST.
"The overall opinion seems to be the magical, 'If it is done right, it is a good
thing,'" he says. "I do think there is appropriate concern about what the
requirements are and ... that we are not adding a bunch of requirements that
differ from what is being done globally.
There is not a strong feeling that this is a bad idea, but I think everyone
thinks this needs to be done in a way that is attainable."

Few Organizations are Actually Preparing for a Ransomware Attack
Although executives of organizations report that ransomware is their number one
security concern, and 87 percent of them expect an increase in cyber-attacks
against their organizations over the next year,
only one-third of them said they had conducted a tabletop exercise to prepare
for a ransomware attack.
According to a survey of 50 executives, Deloitte found that although ransomware
and cyber-attacks remain a top concern for executives,
54 percent of the executives
surveyed stated that the organization had an incident response plan, but
not specifically for a ransomware attack.
Further,
only one-third had actually conducted an internal simulation of a ransomware
attack
in order to prepare for such an eventuality.
Now is the time to
schedule your tabletop exercise
to test your Incident Response Plan and your team.

How Enterprises Can Tackle Misinformation in the Workplace
As the line between our personal and professional lives remains blurry, leaders
need to arm their people with the tools and understanding they need to
identify and combat misinformation.
Pervasive, Seductive Falsehoods at Work
Misinformation that we pick up in our “off hours,” through social media or
unreliable news sources, for instance, can cross the threshold from our personal
to our working lives very easily.
Rumors, for one, can
destabilize share prices, but misinformation can also tear down morale or
inspire vigilantism.
This became especially apparent when a pharmacist and avowed “conspiracy
theorist”
sabotaged more than 500 doses of the COVID-19 Moderna vaccine, rendering
them unusable.
In the end, it doesn’t matter if people are misinformed individually in their
personal lives or collectively within their specific roles at work. If they are
influenced by misinformation, they cannot help but carry their misinformed views
into everything they do --
including the decisions they make on behalf of their employer.
For corporate leaders to get ahead of misinformation,
they must treat it as seriously as other complex and corrosive workplace issues,
like sexual harassment or racial discrimination. They must start with their most
important asset -- their people. They need to build processes, taking
programmatic approaches to stop the spread of falsehoods internally, and ensure
that their people never lose trust in the facts that their business needs to
run. And they need to base those processes in technology that ensures that a
single source of truth in the organization that is uniformly recognized and
understood. The following are details on three ways to tackle misinformation:

What businesses need to know about data decay
Register Now for the 2021 RH-ISAC Summit - September 28-29
 Hey
LP/AP senior: If your retailer is a member you might want to consider attending
yourself or sending one of your team members who works with cybersecurity on
investigations or e-commerce fraud.
Especially now with the increased ransomware attacks and data beaches and the
corresponding increased attention from law enforcement. Cross pollinating and
building those relationships could pay off long term.

1 Million Amazon Job Seekers
Amazon Career Day Sees Over 1M Job Applicants
More than one million people from more than 170 countries applied for jobs at
Amazon
during its virtual Career Day 2021, the Seattle-based retail behemoth said on
Friday (Sept. 17).
The event featured more than
2,000 Amazon recruiters doling out career advice to people through more than
30,000 individual coaching sessions,
including advice on starting, transitioning and growing their careers at Amazon
or elsewhere.
“We know a lot of people are looking for work right now, and many more are
hoping to change their careers,” said
Beth
Galetti, Amazon’s senior vice president of people experience and technology,
in the company announcement. “We are paying close attention to this and we feel
uniquely positioned to help — not only because of the
tens of thousands of jobs that we have open,
but also for the opportunity we offer people to build a meaningful career. We
think Amazon is a great place to work for those who crave the freedom to invent,
the chance to make a big impact and an inclusive workplace to do so.”
More than 220,000 job seekers logged onto the Career Day 2021
site and got advice from, among others, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, top Wall Street
executive Carla Harris and New York Times best-selling author David Epstein.
Amazon has seen
more than 500,000 people apply for jobs in corporate, tech and hourly roles in
the U.S. since announcing Career Day 2021 on Sept. 1,
with software development, IT, support engineers and operations management among
the most popular for job seekers.

Amazon faces Teamsters union drive at 9 Canadian sites
 The
Teamsters Union has launched campaigns to organize employees in at least nine
Canadian facilities of Amazon, according to Reuters interviews with union
officials.
The influential union took the first step earlier this week to organize
employees at one of Amazon’s Canadian facilities, and the interviews reveal it
is widening such efforts across the country, where the e-commerce company
employs about 25,000 workers and plans to add 15,000 more.
The campaigns could be seen as a bet by the Teamsters that early success
unionizing employees in a more labor-friendly market such as Canada will inspire
similar results south of the border, where Amazon
has so far fended off unionization attempts.

DOJ: 101 Indicted in Transnational Cell Phone Trafficking Conspiracy
“Operation Cash Out” Uncovers Illicit Sales of Over 70,000 Stolen Cellular
Devices Valued at Nearly $100 Million
 SHERMAN,
Texas – A federal grand jury in Sherman has returned a seven-count superseding
indictment charging 101 individuals in a cell phone trafficking conspiracy in
the Eastern District of Texas, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei
on August 26th.
According to the superseding indictment, members of a multi-layered criminal
organization stole personal electronics, including cell phones, tablets,
laptops, and smart watches, within the North Texas area and then exported those
items overseas for resale. As detailed in the superseding indictment, the
defendants’ organization included runners, suppliers, device traffickers, and
exporters. The defendants are alleged to have stolen electronics by armed
robberies as well as through various fraud schemes.
The superseding indictment alleges that in late October 2020, a series of
armed takeover-style robberies began to take place at AT&T, T-Mobile, and
Verizon retail cell phone stores in the Dallas area. According to the
superseding indictment, a total of 23 armed takeover robberies were
committed or attempted at various retail cellular phone stores located in
Dallas, Corinth, Balch Springs, Seagoville, Greenville, Colleyville, Flower
Mound, Grand Prairie, Arlington, Houston, Fort Worth, and Garland. The
estimated loss associated with those robberies exceeds $500,000.
In December 2020, four members of the robbery crew were arrested following the
armed robbery of an AT&T cell phone store in Fort Worth. Investigation revealed
that these individuals were connected to a cell phone business in Dallas known
as Global One Wireless. The owners of Global One Wireless – Plano brothers Abdul
Basit Bhangda, 30, and Arsalan Bhangda, a/k/a Adam, 36 – allegedly acted through
a parent corporation, RJ Telecom, to sell stolen products abroad by shipping the
merchandise to foreign import companies located in the United Arab Emirates and
Hong Kong.
According to the superseding indictment, the conspirators also utilized
compromised store employees to activate phones using fake identities or
fraudulently adding lines to legitimate customer accounts. Other schemes
allegedly involved the use of fake identity information as well as legitimate
customer information to swap SIM cards, enabling the defendants to verify
banking information through text messages and withdraw funds from customer
accounts.
The superseding indictment alleges that nearly $100 million of products were
sold to foreign importers. The investigation has revealed that approximately
20,000 products were acquired by identity theft. The overall estimated losses
exceed $42 million.
To date, 73 individuals have been arrested. Law enforcement officials
have also seized more than $6 million in assets, including cash, bank
accounts, real estate, and stolen goods recovered from a warehouse. The
superseding indictment seeks the forfeiture of all property and funds derived
from or traceable to the charged conduct.

Colorado Man Imprisoned For Selling $3.5M Of Stolen Goods Online
A 36-year-old Aurora man was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court in
Baltimore to 66 months in federal prison following a decade-long operation to
sell stolen goods via online marketplaces. Saurabh Chawla pleaded guilty to
federal charges of conspiracy, interstate transportation of stolen goods and tax
evasion. According to court documents, Chawla purchased stolen goods valued at
$3.5 million between 2009 and 2019 with the help of three primary
co-conspirators: James Bender, Kristy Stock and Joseph Kukta.
In a press release, federal prosecutors said Bender controlled and operated
multiple online eBay and Amazon accounts, including “HiddenGemFurniture” (“HGF”),
“EddiesAffordableGear” (“EAG”) and “AffordableGoodies4You” (“AG”). The
36-year-old Baltimore resident offered use of his accounts in exchange for a cut
of the Chawla’s sales. With Bender’s help, Chawla offered and sold a large
amount of stolen goods and merchandise for sale through HGF, other eBay stores,
and other online marketplaces. At one point, Chawla had 400 active listings for
goods and products on eBay.
Stock, according to prosecutors, was a New Mexico public school employee
responsible for overseeing a program to provide Apple iPods intended to benefit
underprivileged Native American children in New Mexico. The 46-year-old Stock
stole more than 3,000 iPods purchased by the school district, valued at more
than $1 million, and sold them to Chawla. Stock admitted that she received more
than $800,000 in illegal proceeds from selling the stolen iPods.

West Valley UT: Man arrested for organized retail crime, caught with over
$80,000 in stolen goods
 A
man has been arrested for conducting an organized retail crime scheme and was
found with more than $80,000 worth of stolen retail goods. The Utah Attorney
General Office's Economic Crimes Unit, C.A.S.E (Crimes Against Statewide
Economy) has identified the suspect as 45-year-old Oscar Martinez. Martinez
reportedly asked people struggling with drug addiction to steal the merchandise
on his behalf, then paid them a fraction of what he would make by reselling
them.
Officials say Martinez asked people who were struggling with drug addiction to
steal the merchandise on his behalf, then paid them a fraction of what he would
make by reselling them. The pilfered goods were typically from big-box retailers
around town. Martinez has been conducting this scheme for over a year,
authorities say. The Attorney General’s Office says organized retail theft has
been plaguing retailers nationwide, with an estimated loss of millions of
dollars in stolen merchandise every month.

DNA leads to arrest in 1974 murder of 22-year-old 7-Eleven clerk
 A
69-year-old Las Vegas man was arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of
a 22-year-old convenience store clerk almost 50 years ago, police said on
Thursday.Carlin Edward Cornett was arrested at his home, accused of killing
22-year-old Christy Ellen Bryant in 1974, according to National City Police. On
July 31, 1974, Bryant was working a solo shift at a 7-Eleven location in
National City, near San Diego, when she was stabbed to death, police said in a
news release. She had originally moved to San Diego in 1971 when she was working
as a member of the United States Marine Corps, police told FOX 5. She began
working at 7-Eleven after retiring from the armed services due to injuries she
sustained in a car accident.
The case went cold after law enforcement failed to develop any solid leads, City
News Service reported. However, officials did collect blood samples from the
suspect at the scene of the crime, keeping the case in circulation for decades
even though DNA analysis wasn’t in use at the time of the murder. The blood was
first submitted to the San Diego Sheriff’s Crime Laboratory for further analysis
in 2008 and was searched regularly with no hits, FOX 5 reported. For years
afterward, familial DNA searches were performed on the sample, still not
yielding any results.
Finally, in 2013, National City Police joined forces with the San Diego County
District Attorney’s office. That partnership, along with advances in forensic
technology, finally led investigators to identify Cornett as a suspect, City
News Service reported. After his arrest, Cornett was booked into the Las Vegas
Detention Center by Las Vegas police and the FBI. He will now be extradited to
San Diego to face murder charges, Lt. Derek Aydelotte told City News Service.
Bryant is survived by her father and two sisters, FOX 5 reported.

at the Ponderosa Pet Resort, in the city of Georgetown, occurred late Saturday
night, according to a press conference given the next day by Georgetown Fire
Chief John Sullivan. By the time fire crews arrived, about four and a half
minutes after receiving the 911 calls, the smoke had made it impossible for any
rescues, he said. "It was a quick response," Sullivan said. "Unfortunately, they
were met with conditions that are our worst possible scenario and that was heavy
smoke and fire involvement."

Speed Kills! As the old expression goes, so does the pace of today's world. With
technology leashing us forward and mobile coming at the speed of light, no one
can slow down. The problem then becomes focus and concentration. Multitasking,
while impossible to avoid, leads to a reduction in quality and quality is what
every senior executive must be focused on. So the next time you're running fast,
just take one second and think about was the service you just delivered quality
service.
Just a Thought,
Gus
