Case Study
ALTO's Impact on Retail Crime Accountability in San Francisco
 On July 9, 2024, a department store in San Francisco experienced a theft
carried out by a prolific repeat offender known for targeting local
retailers. Thanks to a prompt incident report, the individual was
apprehended the same day of the incident
This
case underscores the vital role
ALTO plays in the
legal process, ensuring accountability every step of the way. By
leveraging expertise and an extensive network of legal professionals,
ALTO facilitated a seamless progression through multiple court hearings,
ultimately leading to a resolution.
After Apprehension: Case Milestones
Once the offender was taken into custody, ALTO’s legal team submitted
evidence, coordinated with the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office,
and maintained clear communication between store personnel, law
enforcement, and prosecutors. Our local team supported both the DA’s and
the store team throughout the entire process, from the initial hearing
to the sentencing, addressing critical gaps that could have otherwise
led to case dismissal.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Retailers Turn to Facial Recognition
as an Effective Crime-Fighting Tool
Facial Recognition Technology Gains
Ground as Tool for Retail Crime Prevention
 By
the D&D Daily staff
As retailers face growing challenges from organized retail crime,
repeat offenders, and in-store violence, many are turning to facial
recognition technology as a potential solution. Supporters say the
technology offers powerful tools for identifying known offenders,
deterring theft, and helping prevent incidents before they escalate.
Retailers across a variety of sectors — including apparel, electronics,
and convenience stores — are exploring or expanding facial
recognition systems to improve situational awareness and loss prevention.
The technology works by capturing biometric facial data and comparing it
against watchlists of individuals previously involved in theft, fraud,
or violence.
One of the most cited benefits is the ability
to recognize repeat offenders the moment they enter a store.
“If someone has a history of violent or disruptive behavior, facial
recognition can give store staff and security teams an early alert,
allowing them to take precautionary steps,” said a retail security
consultant familiar with multiple large-scale deployments.
In addition to flagging known individuals, facial recognition can
support investigations after incidents occur. Surveillance footage
enhanced by facial matching can help law enforcement identify suspects
faster and connect the dots between repeat crimes across multiple
locations.
Proponents also point to a potential deterrent effect. Knowing that
facial recognition is in use may dissuade some would-be offenders from
targeting certain retailers. Some stores display signage informing
customers of the technology to comply with transparency guidelines and
to send a message that security is a priority.
As retail crime continues to evolve, facial recognition is likely to
remain part of the broader conversation about how technology can
help businesses stay ahead of complex threats.
Retailers Across the Pond Using
Smarter Tech
UK: Retail’s new line of defence – Here's how smarter tools are helping
protect teams against rising crime
Retail crime is rising at an alarming rate. There were almost 492,000
theft incidents in England and Wales in the 12 months to September last
year, the highest figure since recording practices began back in 2003.
And the BRC believes this figure to be grossly underestimated, since it
only considers the incidents recorded by the police.
As the situation intensifies, retailers are assessing how they protect
their workers and stores. Security tags and CCTV in isolation no
longer suffice - today’s shop floor colleagues must be equipped with
tools that are as agile and connected as the threats they face. That
means investing in smarter, real-time technologies that support teams,
improve incident response and help prevent crime before it escalates.
Protecting colleagues with technology
For retail colleagues, crime prevention has become a part of their daily
work - and remaining vigilant against the shoplifting threat isn’t just
time-consuming but leads to a sense of feeling unsafe. Leaving this
issue unaddressed will likely lead to workers quitting the industry to
protect their well-being. Continued reputational damage to the
sector is also going to make it harder for retailers to hire and retain
colleagues, creating delays in hiring when turnover occurs.
Proactive intervention is a necessity to stem the tide. Larger
retailers have already incorporated security solutions, such as CCTV and
security staff, into their operations to catch shoplifters in the act.
Some have gone even further by bringing AI into the mix.
Recently, Asda initiated a trial of live facial recognition
technology across five stores in Greater Manchester. This is
incorporated directly into the CCTV framework, scanning people’s faces
and checking them against a database of people who have previously
committed crimes in the retailer’s stores.
But it’s also important to empower colleagues by equipping them with
the right tools. With a number of different solutions connected to
one central ecosystem, teams can gain confidence in their day-to-day
tasks and when a difficult situation arises.

New York’s Retail Worker Safety Act -
Effective June 2
What Do Employers Need To Know About New York’s Retail Worker Safety
Act?
New York’s Retail Worker Safety Act, which goes into effect on June 2,
2025, is one of the most expansive workplace violence prevention laws
for retailers in the U.S. Like the California Workplace Violence
Prevention Act, the New York law was passed in response to growing
concerns about workplace violence, including homicides and intimidating
conduct.
The Retail Worker Safety Act applies to employers with 10 or more
retail employees. The law defines a retail employee as one who works
in a store that “sells consumer commodities at retail and is not
primarily engaged in the sale of food for consumption on the premises.”
The Act further requires employers with 500 or more retail employees
statewide to provide access to silent response buttons that request
immediate assistance from a security officer, manager, or supervisor
in case of an emergency. The silent response button requirement is the
first of its kind in the U.S. for retail workers, and that section of
the law goes into effect on January 1, 2027.
Covered employers must establish a workplace violence prevention
policy.
It is recommended that covered employers conduct a hazard assessment
at each worksite, as a one-size-fits-all approach likely won’t pass
muster under the New York law. In preparing a policy, the law is clear
that employers should consider and outline factors that may place retail
employees at risk of workplace violence.

Hotspot for Cargo Theft
Memphis, TN: FBI targets Memphis cargo thefts to combat rising crime
The FBI task force is setting its sights on the Bluff City to help
combat crime in rising cargo thefts. Memphis is known as America’s
distribution center, a major hub for storing, packing, and shipping
goods, but according to the FBI, it’s also a hotspot for cargo theft.
Jeremy Baker, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Memphis
field office, told WREG about the problem of boxcar bandits and why he
also says Memphis needs additional resources to help reduce our high
homicide rate. “FBI headquarters recognizing we have a significant
transportation infrastructure that converges here in Memphis with rail,
FedEx, I-40, and 55 with the Mississippi River, FedEx Super Hub. And all
of that, unfortunately, presents a lot of opportunities for criminals,”
said Baker. Baker said that they see insiders are often the ones
committing crimes in warehouses and trucking firms. He is reminding
business owners and operators to be vigilant.

Walmart’s ‘And’ vs. Amazon’s ‘Why’:
Which Retailer’s Philosophy Is Better for Business in 2025?
In a May 27 observational piece written by Retail TouchPoints editor
Nicole Silberstein, two competing philosophies — each concisely
condensed into a three-letter word — were set against each other for
comparison and contrast.
The two companies in question? Walmart and Amazon, a pair of the
largest retailers on Earth. Their respective philosophies, Walmart’s
focus on “and” and Amazon’s emphasis on “why,” were highlighted,
inviting deeper examination and evaluation of their effectiveness.
Walmart as an ‘And’ Company, Blending Perceived
Counterbalancing Forces
Silberstein first quoted Walmart CEO Doug McMillon in remarks he’d made
in an April 9 update concerning the company’s financial future.
“We’re an ‘and’ company: People and tech. Stores and eCommerce.
Innovation and execution,” McMillon said, seemingly underscoring
Walmart’s goal of blending disparate elements of each facet of its
operations to achieve not only balance, but a foothold to serve each
individual customer’s or client’s needs.
Amazon’s ‘Why’ Question: Fundamental to Its
Continued Growth
Discussing Amazon, Silberstein cited CEO Andy Jassy’s April 10 letter to
shareholders.
“Amazon is a ‘why’ company. We ask why, and why not, constantly. It
helps us deconstruct problems, get to root causes, understand blockers,
and unlock doors that might have previously seemed impenetrable.
Amazon has an unusually high quotient of this WhyQ (let’s call it ‘YQ’),
and it frames the way we think about everything that we do,” Jassy wrote
at the time.

Toymaker Wins Lawsuit Against Trump
Tariffs
Second federal court rules against Trump’s tariffs
The decision comes a day after another court ruled against the
president’s use of an emergency law to justify tariffs on dozens of the
United States’ largest trading partners.
A second federal court blocked the bulk of President Trump’s tariffs on
Thursday, ruling he cannot claim unilateral authority to impose them
by declaring emergencies over trade deficits and fentanyl.
Since February, Trump has attempted to impose tariffs by invoking the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA). The law
authorizes the president to impose necessary economic sanctions during
an emergency to combat an “unusual and extraordinary threat,” but a
series of businesses and plaintiffs have argued the law doesn’t
authorize tariffs.
The ruling from U.S District Judge Rudolph Contreras, an appointee of
former President Obama who serves in the nation’s capital, comes
hours after the U.S. Court of International Trade similarly blocked a
series of Trump’s tariff announcements.
Thursday’s ruling came in response to a lawsuit
filed by two Illinois-based small businesses, Learning Resources and
hand2mind, that manufacture educational toys mostly in China
and other foreign countries.

Tariff Whiplash Continues
Trump tariffs back on after appeals court slams brakes on trade court’s
ban
A federal appeals court put the brakes Thursday on a lower court order
that overturned most of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs.
A full 11-judge panel on the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
stayed the order by the Manhattan-based Court of International
Trade while a White House appeal is heard.
The Court of International Trade had ruled that Trump exceeded his
authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by
imposing a 10% flat duty rate on dozens of countries around the world —
as well as 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and 20% tariffs on China in
response to illegal fentanyl trafficking.
The tariffs had been challenged by a dozen states and five small
businesses — which the appeals panel gave until June 5 to respond to
Thursday’s stay.

Are Consumers Beginning to Feel Less
Gloomy?
Consumer pessimism eases amid cooling in US-China tariff war
The share of consumers expecting a recession over the next 12
months fell in May, the Conference Board said.
Consumer pessimism about the future eased in May after a five-month
gain amid a cooling in the U.S.-China tariff war, the Conference
Board said Tuesday.
The Consumer Confidence Index rose by 12.3 points this month to 98, the
Conference Board said. The Expectations Index — gauging consumers’
short-term view about income and the outlook for business and the labor
market — also surged but remained below the level that usually
signals sustained economic growth rather than a coming recession.
“The rebound was already visible before the May 12 U.S.-China trade
deal but gained momentum afterwards,” Stephanie Guichard, senior
economist for global indicators at the Conference Board, said in a
statement, referring to a 90-day reduction in U.S. levies on China
imports to 30% from 145%. Roughly half of survey results were gathered
before that date.

Using AI to Boost Workplace Safety
Measuring Well-Being with AI to Increase Safety
AI can review patterns and predict actions before safety issues
occur
Human behavior has the advantage of being alterable and is something a
company can control, as opposed to many other risks companies face that
they are unable to control, Huang notes. Just as there are warning signs
before a machine breaks down, most supervisors notice behavior
patterns and can conclude that someone is not performing at their best.
The difficult part is to move past observation to create a data set
that can then be turned into actionable results. An example Huang
has found at many companies is fatigue. “Fatigue occurs from factors
that humans can control, such as shift schedules,” Huang says.
AI can be a tool to review schedules and link to behavior. “So if
I knew that Mary has been on three-night shifts, and all of our
employees, on average, after three-night shifts are much more likely to
make a mistake, and they work on machinery that can be dangerous, then
I'm going to do something about that.”

Retail Under
Siege:
The Rise of ORC & the Tech Fighting Back
Innovation Born from Urgency
CIS Security
Solutions creates solutions that help our clients protect their
valuable assets. We offer products that are economical, sustainable, and
quick to achieve return on investment while securing valuable
merchandise at the Zone 1 level, at the fixture. We have become a leader
in innovation, and the evolution of our products has been saving our
clients millions of dollars per year, while preventing loss of assets
and increasing sales.
We had ideas for products years ago, but technology had to catch up
first. By 2022, development was underway on the Gen6 SP (Smart
Padlock), a new generation tether that connects to a smart padlock
tag via a sleek plug-in system, creating a multi alarmed circuit from
tether to padlock tag. It had to be intuitive, secure, and built for
speed. Early models showed promise in lab tests, but the true trial came
in multi-store pilot programs. Results from the pilot tests were
analyzed and we made some changes, with the valuable input from our
clients.
 No
Pins. No False Alarms. No Nonsense.
In 2023, The Slide Padlock Tag was born. With a smooth locking
slot, the Gen6 SP tether slides and secures in place right into the
Smart Padlock Tag. Simple for staff, impossible for thieves. It features
dual-frequency EAS technology and an IR detacher safeguard, so any
unauthorized attempt to remove the tag or tether sets off a piercing
alarm.
And best of all? Associates could now remove or transfer merchandise
with ease using an all-in-one decoder. One press deactivates the alarm
and releases the Slide Tag from the tether; plug into a new Slide Tag
and the alarm is instantly reactivated. Customers still get to feel, try
on, and interact with the merchandise, while the item remains fully
protected and secure. Security no longer comes at the cost of customer
experience.
 Securing
the Rack: Meet "The Boot"
But locking down individual items was just the beginning. What about
when multiple high-value items are displayed on shared fixtures like
4-way racks and H-racks?
Enter The Boot. The Boot is a rugged security solution built to
secure up to 10 Gen6 SP recoiling tethers directly to a store fixture.
The first prototype looked like something from a dystopian workshop:
metal plates, bulky screws, and a vibe somewhere between Mad Max and
Steam Punk. It worked. One store saw a Return On Investment within 24
hours of installing it.
Engineers then refined the design into a clean, solid unit that fits
seamlessly around fixture legs, using just two security screws and
top-and-bottom swivel locks. The latest version installs in minutes and
has now been deployed across 2,000+ retail locations in the U.S. and
Canada with more rolling out every month.
A Safer, Smarter Shopping Experience
High-volume theft, once considered an inevitable loss, is no longer
untouchable. Retailers are pushing back with innovation that works
behind the scenes: making stores safer, smarter, and ready for whatever
the next wave of organized retail crime throws at them.
The takeaway? High fashion may still be vulnerable to theft trends, but
thanks to evolving retail security tech like The Boot with Gen6 SP
Slide, luxury handbags and clothing is no longer vulnerable to ORC
mobs, yet it IS accessible to customers.
What is Next?
The proof of concept is there. The ROI is there. Loss percentages are
falling while sales are rising as our products protect the merchandise.
As our retailers’ needs arise, we can adapt and create solutions to
protect their merchandise. As the needs of our clients evolve, so will
we and so will our products.
What are your needs? What are your wants? Let’s have a chat and
find the right solution for you.

Victoria's Secret Website Hit with
'Security Incident'
Victoria’s Secret shuts down website in response to security incident
Although stores are open, the company has also halted some
in-store services as it works to fully restore operations.
Victoria’s Secret has shut down its website due
to a security incident. The lingerie retailer has also
paused some in-store services and has temporarily halted its
customer care.
Users of the website will encounter a statement written in black on a
pink background. “Our team is working around the clock to fully restore
operations,” the message reads. Victoria’s Secret and Pink stores
remain open.
The company stressed on its parent website that it has taken steps to
address the incident by enacting its response protocols and has
engaged third-party experts. However, the company does not know when
operations will be back up and running.
The company has extended its U.S. return window for an additional 30
days. Currently online orders cannot be returned in stores, but the
company said it would restore that functionality as soon as possible.
Additionally, the redemption window for direct mail coupons that expired
while the site was down has been extended through Sunday. Orders placed
before Monday were impacted by the incident and the company is working
to fulfill them. Victoria’s Secret said that customers will receive an
email confirmation with tracking information once an order is shipped.
Numerous customers in comments on the company’s Instagram page say that
the outages started four days ago, when the company was in the
middle of promoting a sale.

Hackers Hit Adidas
Adidas confirms criminals stole data from customer service provider
Hackers take personal data bytes from the brand with three stripes
Adidas is warning customers some of their data was stolen after
an "unauthorized" person lifted it from a "third-party customer service
provider."
The sportswear giant said the affected data "mainly consists of contact
information relating to consumers who had contacted our customer service
help desk in the past." It did not reveal any time frame beyond the
phrase "in the past."
The Register asked the German sportswear brand for a list of the exact
data points involved and for an idea of how many people might be
affected, and when they would have submitted their data, but it declined
to provide any further details.
It did, however, claim that customers' most sensitive information
wasn't impacted.
Adidas said: "The affected data does not contain passwords, credit
card, or any other payment-related information."
To get started with Adidas' online customer support, the minimum data
points a customer must enter includes their first and last names, and
email addresses, along with an optional entry of their order number,
which may offer some indication as to what info was swiped.

Security Teams: Third-Party Security
is Crucial
4.5% of breaches now extend to fourth parties
Security teams can no longer afford to treat third-party security as
a compliance checkbox, according to SecurityScorecard. Traditional
vendor risk assessments, conducted annually or quarterly, are too slow
to detect active threats.
35.5% of all breaches in 2024 were third-party
related, a 6.5% increase from 2023. This figure is likely
conservative due to underreporting and misclassification. So while
you’re updating your firewall rules, somewhere in your supply chain a
vendor might be inadvertently letting in the very attackers you’ve been
working to keep out.
46.75% of third-party breaches involved technology products and
services, a drop from last year’s 75%, signaling a diversification
of attack surfaces. File transfer software remained the top third- party
breach enabler, with Cl0p exploiting vulnerabilities in Cleo software
(CVE-2024-50623 and CVE-2024-55956) to launch large-scale attacks.
Cross-industry technology was four times more commonly exploited than
industry-specific technology, reflecting the broad reach of supply
chain risks. Retail and hospitality saw the highest third-party breach
rate (52.4%), followed by the technology industry (47.3%) and the energy
and utilities industry (46.7%).
4.5% of breaches now extend to fourth parties, one breach
triggers multiple organizational failures.

How Tariffs Could Boost the
Counterfeit Market
Commentary: Counterfeiters stand to benefit from a tariff-induced
economy
In the escalating global trade war, much of the focus has centered on
tariffs, reshoring and the effect on American jobs and prices. Amid the
chaos of new trade policies, one insidious winner lurks in the
shadows: counterfeiters.
As tariffs drive up prices on everyday goods, consumers with tighter
budgets are more likely to seek cheaper alternatives, including fake
versions of the products they want but can no longer afford.
Counterfeiters benefit from this inflationary and taxing squeeze,
exploiting economic pressure points while posing fraud and health and
safety risks to consumers and violating the intellectual property
protections of American businesses.
Counterfeit goods are no longer limited to knockoff scarves and
wallets on urban street tables. The counterfeit economy has gone
digital, and it’s thriving. Fraudulent websites, fraudulent ads
across social media, and “dupe” influencers have created a sprawling
ecosystem that feeds the Digital Devalue Chain of Counterfeits.
The Federal Trade Commission reports that online shopping was the
second-most-reported source of fraud. Among young adults 20 to 39,
it was the No. 1 category, often involving purchases made via social
media.
In fact, according to the Center for Anti-Counterfeiting and Product
Protection, two-thirds of consumers who buy counterfeit goods are
lured in through social media platforms, with Facebook accounting
for 68% of counterfeit purchases. Footwear and apparel are some of the
most commonly counterfeited products, and they belong to an industry
that has been disproportionately affected by tariffs, historically and
amid this trade war.
A recent Yale analysis underscores the problem. Shoe prices have
increased 87% in the short run because of tariffs, while apparel prices
are up 65%. This is at a moment when counterfeits are already costing
consumers billions.

Chicago, IL: Update: Attorney General Raoul obtains Guilty plea, prison
sentence for Cook County man for theft of over $500,000 in retail goods
Attorney General Kwame Raoul today announced that a Cook County man was
sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to the theft of
more than $500,000 in retail goods. The sentence is the result of an
investigation by Raoul's Organized Retail Crime Task Force that
recovered thousands of stolen items at several storage units in the
Chicago area in December 2021. Raoul's office prosecuted Mahdi Alhaw,
34, of Justice, Illinois, who was sentenced by Cook County Circuit Court
Judge Stanley Sacks after pleading guilty to a Class 1 felony count of
theft in excess of $500,000. "Organized retail crime is a multibillion
dollar per year illegal industry perpetrated by sophisticated criminal
organizations involved in drug and gun trafficking and other serious
crimes," Raoul said. "This plea holds this thief accountable while also
serving as a warning that my office and our partners in the Organized
Retail Crime Task Force will continue to aggressively pursue these
offenders." The sentence resulted from a multi-agency investigation by
Raoul's Organized Retail Crime Task Force. During a search of Alhaw's
vehicle in 2021, the Chicago Police Department recovered items that led
investigators with Raoul's task force to several storage units where
stolen merchandise was recovered. The storage units contained four
semitrailers of merchandise, including clothing, electronics, cosmetics,
mattresses, pet supplies and other items. BNSF Railway Police also
contributed to the investigation.

Shootings & Deaths
Charleston, WV: Update: Man now charged with murder in Sheetz parking lot
shooting
Police have upgraded charges to first degree murder in the shooting death of a
Kanawha County woman in the parking lot of a Sheetz convenience store in
Charleston. Charleston police announced Wednesday afternoon that after further
review of evidence the charges against Jacob Fields, 18, of Charleston, have
been upgraded from involuntary manslaughter and wanton endangerment with a
firearm to first-degree murder. Police now allege Fields intentionally shot and
killed Tiffany Adkins, 42, of Marmet, early Tuesday morning in the parking lot
of the Sheetz in Kanawha City. Fields originally told investigators he was
wiping down the barrel of his gun when it went off, the shot traveling through
the windshield and hitting Adkins in the back of the head. Kanawha County
Prosecutor Debrxa Rusnak says surveillance video shows the shooting was
intentional.

It only takes seven seconds to make a first impression. With a job on the line,
the pressure to immediately impress is even more intense. No wonder everyone can
get frustrated.
The good news is that no matter what goes wrong -- you go to the wrong building,
you spill water, you mispronounce the company name -- it's all about how you
recover. The first rule is -- relax, take a deep breath and make a joke about
it. Humility, honesty and calming down is the key to showing the employer that
even when you're under pressure, you'll react the right way. Think about this
before your interview because if something does happen you won't have time to
think.
Just a Thought,
Gus
