Fighting ORC with purpose and partnership
What do "customers" want in an ORCA?
Charles Anderson, executive director of the
Twin
Cities Organized Retail Crime Association, began "Rise
of the ORCAs: Crime Fighting Machines or Pipe Dreams?" with a reference to
Simon Sinek's point that people don't buy what an organization does - they buy
why they do it: A sense of purpose directly relates to an organization's
effectiveness and success.
"ORCAs should be asking themselves this question all the time," Anderson said to
attendees at the NRF PROTECT Loss Prevention Conference. "Why are we doing this?
Do people want what we're offering?"
The United States currently has
nearly 50 distinct ORCAs in operation, according to Downing & Downing,
with various levels of organization, sophistication and overall effectiveness.
Some have little or no money, some are one-person operations, some are tied to
lobbying groups and law enforcement agencies, some exist in name only.
Anderson said a successful ORCA is independent, customer-centric and a
recognized nonprofit; as a result, it is better positioned to lead a
public/private partnership to combat organized retail crime. If an ORCA is
tied to lobbying groups or law enforcement agencies, how do they separate their
missions? What if the priorities of those organizations change? Where does that
leave the ORCA?

When it comes to the nuts and bolts of getting an ORCA off the ground, it's not
fun "but it doesn't require a lawyer," Anderson said. What is required is a
focus on the basics: startup costs for things like insurance and logo design,
finding and maintaining a website platform, developing a board that's
cross-industry and cross-functional.
Going on to the essential functions and missions of an ORCA, Anderson went back
to his earlier customer-centric observations: Who are your customers, he asked -
what are their wants and needs?
They want a secure website, he said, and regular regional meetings for
networking and intelligence sharing. They want an annual training
conference and ongoing training seminars. They want multi-jurisdictional
efforts - here Anderson spoke of Operation Blitz during the holidays, in
which the combined efforts of some 30 jurisdictions resulted in high-profile
arrests.

Hobby Lobby to pay $3 million fine, forfeit smuggled ancient artifacts
The DOJ said the company smuggled the artifacts into the United States, and the
arts and crafts chain on Wednesday agreed to a settlement with the US Attorney's
Office for the Eastern District of New York. According to court documents, Hobby
Lobby agreed to forfeit thousands of Iraqi artifacts and pay a $3 million fine
to resolve the civil action the Justice Department brought against the company.
Ancient cuneiform tablets and clay bullae from modern-day Iraq were smuggled
into the United States through the United Arab Emirates and Israel, Justice
officials said. With Hobby Lobby's consent they were falsely labeled as
"ceramics" and "samples" and illegally shipped to Hobby Lobby stores and two
corporate offices, according to the DOJ.
"In 2009, Hobby Lobby began acquiring a variety of historical Bibles and other
artifacts. Developing a collection of historically and religiously important
books and artifacts about the Bible is consistent with the company's mission
and passion for the Bible," said a Hobby Lobby statement.

South Fulton County, GA:
Gang violence at Walmart has some shoppers calling for more security
Police now say a deadly shooting at a Walmart was sparked by rival gangs opening
fire on one another. The gang violence has some shoppers calling for more
security.
Shopper Vanessa Mosely wasn't surprised to hear police say it was gangs shooting
Sunday night when one man was killed and two others injured in the Walmart
parking lot in Research Center Drive. She has a theory why the shooting happened
here. "Seems to me they are running them from the gas stations and they have to
find another place to gather," she pointed out.
The nearby gas stations saw numerous carjackings and thefts from cars last year
before authorities cracked down. Now some are calling for a crackdown at the
Walmart. That's after the deadly shooting and after the store saw 27
incidents involving burglaries, robberies, auto thefts or thefts from cars last
year.
A Walmart spokesperson says the store has sufficient security. The store says
there is a police officer outside and more security inside the public might not
see.

Monroe, LA: Security at Pecanland Mall called into question
Shoppers wonder if security is tight enough at Pecanland Mall after a man
allegedly pulled out a gun during a fight there and another fight was caught on
camera. Shoppers are split on how security handles violent situations like
these.
"They should be armed," says Troy Hendrix. "It shouldn't be mall security, it
should be Monroe City Police. If someone has a gun in a public place, they
shouldn't walk out."
Local police issued the following statement in response: "The Pecanland Mall
does have a 24-hour security force that provides constant parking lot patrols
and foot patrols inside of the mall. Pecanland Mall also partners with the
Monroe Police Department to provide an off-duty police detail to provide
additional security as it relates to their 24-hour security force." Read more

When Cash is King, Safety Rules
From smart safes to best practices in ATM location and cash drawer
management, savvy c-store retailers work to keep employees and customers safe
from would-be thieves.
Technological advances plus increasingly bold thieves mean that even with
chip-based Europay, Mastercard and Visa, ATMs, mobile apps that sync to ATMs and
technologically-advanced cash drawers that link to security cameras or smart
safes becoming more prevalent, skimming, fraud and theft are still a risk.
"Our No. 1 priority is taking care of our guests and ensuring we provide a safe
environment for our team members," said Terry Adkinson, chief operating officer
for Kent Kwik, which operates 43 convenience stores throughout Texas, Oklahoma
and New Mexico. "We make them truly understand we're looking out for their
safety as well as guest safety."
Doing so includes taking preventative measures to make sure ATMs and cash
drawers are not compromised.
"From the merchant's perspective, if customers are realizing an ATM is not safe
in that store, shoppers will stop going to that store," said Bruce Renard,
executive director of the National ATM Council.
cstoredecisions.com
Are Cash Alternatives Moving Us Towards a Cashless Society?
An interesting observation can be made when the reports show that the number of
ATMs has risen in the recent years: it has become more affordable to withdraw
cash, and overall cash has become more "available", but the number of actual
transactions using cash has fallen. The growth of alternative payments seems to
indicate a declining interest in cash.
The future of cash is very uncertain, although there is a very strong trend
among younger generations, who make greater use of cash alternatives. It is
possible that cash, much like the press industry - where the evolution of
e-books has led to the print industry becoming a separate identity with its own
place - will end up having its own part of the economy and cashless payments
will occupy the rest.

Could a ONE ATOM thick authentication tag wipe out the counterfeit industry?
Scientists claim it will help people spot fake goods
From medicines to car parts, counterfeit products are a huge problem around the
world, costing nearly £370 billion ($0.5 trillion) in lost revenue every year.
In the hope of combating the issue, scientists are turning to quantum
technology. Researchers have created an authentication tag that is just one
atom thick, and could be placed into products to allow people to spot fake goods.
The simple and cheap technology, which is operated through a smartphone,
could soon make counterfeiting impossible.
Researchers
from the University of Lancaster
have created unique atomic-scale IDs that could
be used in a range of sectors, including aerospace parts or luxury goods. The
IDs are based on the irregularities found in graphene - a 2D material that is
just one atom thick. Quantum physics can amplify these irregularities, making it
possible to 'fingerprint' them in simple electronic devices and optical tags.
And while you might think reading these atomic-level irregularities would
require microscopes, the researchers have created an app which can read them,
allowing people to check the authenticity of products through their smartphone.
The customer will be able to scan the optical tag on a product with a smartphone,
which will match the 2D tag with the manufacturer's database.

Human Liability in Security
60% of cyber attacks involve - mostly unintentional - insider actions
According to a 2016 report published by IBM (registration required), up to 60%
of all cyber attacks result, often unwittingly, from the actions of people
inside or closely connected to the company.
The role of insiders has taken many forms. Awareness is a key to reduced risk,
but most employees are not well-educated on the scope of the threat. Even
corporate leaders need a better understanding of the risk. EY's 2015 Global
Information Security Survey found that 44% of executives said that employees
posed the greatest cyber threat, much lower than the 60% said to be involved by
the IBM report.

Reportedly, two-thirds of data breaches attributed to employees have been
unintentional. Clicking the wrong email attachment, falling for a ruse by
email or by phone, or use of insecure passwords all can open the gates to the
cyber kingdom. It's a numbers game. Cyber criminals know that if they try enough
doors, one will be found open, and they've learned which doors to check first.
The remaining third of data breaches have been financially motivated,
including those involving cyber-espionage.
Some companies run their own internal testing, sending suspicious emails
to employees and then measuring click rates. Employees are encouraged to report
phishing if an email subject or sender looks peculiar. Upon opening a suspicious
email, the employee is greeted with a message explaining that the message was a
test that should have been reported. While this practice does increase awareness
of a threat, these same employees may not be aware of the full corporate risk.
Many employees think of suspicious email links and phishing attempts as being an
inconvenience, but one that can be fixed by the IT department, not one that
can take down servers, shut down parts of the company, compromise sensitive
data, or potentially cost millions. All of these things are possible, and
all have happened with the click of a mouse in an office or cubicle.

Why People With Brain Implants Are Afraid To Go Through Theft-Detection Systems
In 2009, Gary Olhoeft walked into a Best Buy to buy some DVDs. He walked out
with his whole body twitching and convulsing. Olhoeft has a brain implant, tiny
bits of microelectronic circuitry that deliver electrical impulses to his motor
cortex in order to control the debilitating tremors he suffers as a symptom of
Parkinson's disease. It had been working fine. So, what happened when he passed
through those double wide doors into consumer electronics paradise? He thinks
the theft-prevention system interfered with his implant and turned it off.
His implant, he says, operated at the same electromagnetic frequency as Best
Buy's theft detection system, and the two signals interfered with each other.
Scientific study has been devoted to the impacts of this kind of interference on
brain implants, cardiac implants and insulin pumps. The conclusion: As more
devices both in our bodies and the built world operate on a frequency, the
problem is likely to grow in scope and scale unless we plan carefully.

Excerpts from Prove
'Em Innocent: The Art & Science of Workplace Investigations by John
A. Velke III
Part
Ten
One of the most important competencies of a
retail loss prevention / asset protection professional is to be capable of
conducting a fair, unbiased investigation thoroughly, confidentially, and
with absolute professionalism. Velke's book provides new and experienced
investigators an opportunity to build on their investigative expertise using
real-life examples and exercises derived from more than 40 years of
investigative experience.
Tenth in a series of bi-monthly
excerpts: General Strain Theory from Chapter 5.
We
all experience stress during our lives and handle stressful situations
differently. General strain theory is based on the belief that there is a
limit to how much stress we can each comfortably handle before we engage in
a stress relieving behavior. For some, a stress relieving behavior can be
prayer, jogging, shopping, or many other forms of socially acceptable
behavior. For others, when they exceed their capacity for handling stress
they turn to alcohol, infidelity, illegal drugs, dishonesty, or other forms
of deviant behavior.
General strain theory was first introduced as a
casual factor in criminology by Robert Agnew PhD. in 1992. He explained it
this way, "...strains or stressors increase the likelihood of negative
emotions like anger and frustration. These emotions create pressure for
corrective action, and crime is one possible response". Agnew's research
also suggests that it is not a single strain or stressor that results in
negative behavior but the effect of multiple stressors occurring at the same
time. He also submits that not all stress is equal. Being late to work due
to unusually heavy traffic will not have the same magnitude of stress as
losing a loved one.

5 indicators of online
retail fraud and how to respond to them
Global online fraud is growing and creating more risk for the online merchant,
while the forms of accepted online payments on e-commerce sites continue to
expand (i.e. gift cards, credit cards and payment platforms). All of these
different technologies bring online vulnerabilities that merchants need to be
able to combat.
1. Monitor shopping behavior
By tracking as much as you can about how someone is engaging your website, you
can begin to predict when a transaction may be fraudulent. How a user behaves
can be a stronger indicator of fraud than who they say they are. Using
behavioral analysis, retailers can tell what is an authentic shopper and what is
someone using fraudulent information to make a purchase.
2. Don't ignore the outliers
It is important to compare each purchase to what a normal purchase of your
product looks like. Does this purchase stand out due to its denomination, or is
there an irregular cadence of purchases from the same user that seems outside of
the normal realm? If a purchase seems to be too good to be true, there is a high
probability that it is the handiwork of someone trying to commit fraud.
3. Compare location with IP address
Compare the billing and shipping addresses with attributes you can capture in
the background, such as IP address/IP location. Do as much as you can to make
sure none of that information is being masked from you, and if the locations
don't reasonably match, a verification protocol should be employed
automatically.
4. The devil's in the details
Look at the different components of the user profile to see if the information
is consistent. For example, does the email address make sense with the name, or
does the billing address align with the shipping address? Most people pick an
email address that is consistent with their name or personality, if an email
address is a long alphanumeric combination it is likely a fake. If something
seems off when you look at these details, it is worth taking an extra close
look.
5. Don't rest on your laurels
Attentiveness is the key to fraud detection. Continuously updating your
processes, and if needed, engaging a third-party vendor to enhance your
capabilities and strengthen your weaknesses will help keep your business safe
from the expense and headache of fraud.
As the online retail market soars, it's up to brands and their partners in this
space to get in front of potential fraud and abuse. By implementing these best
practices, online retailers can confidently combat inevitable fraud and abuse
attempts and maintain a trustworthy reputation with their customers.

Amazon bars marketplace
merchants from selling some Nike items
Nike Inc.'s decision to begin selling some items on Amazon.com will almost
immediately limit Amazon Marketplace sellers' ability to sell certain Nike
items. But the bigger story may be that as Amazon.com Inc. forges more deals
with major brands it will undermine the business of retailers that sell those
brands' products, whether online or offline.
Amazon began notifying some marketplace sellers earlier this month that they
will no longer be permitted to sell certain Nike products on Amazon.com's U.S.
e-commerce site as of July 13.

County, GA: Speeds in deadly police chase reached 20 mph over limit at times;
suspects girlfriend killed, 4 others injured
A theft by a man and woman at a Shell station went terribly wrong when the
suspect continued to speed away from police. Alston Spence, 28, was driving more
than 20 miles an hour over the speed limit at some points in the chase. It
started just after 10 p.m. Saturday, July 1. A 911 caller told police they were
headed into the Shell gas station when two suspects jumped into the car and sped
away. For six miles, Spence navigated around Lake Lanier, crossing into Gwinnett
County. He made it another few miles before taking a wrong turn, missing a curve
and slammed into another vehicle in a head-on collision. Four people inside that
vehicle were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. The passenger in
the stolen vehicle, Andrea Allison, was ejected during the collision and died at
the scene. The Forysth County Sheriff's Office is also conducting an internal

Your self-evaluation is probably the most important document you'll
write all year and it requires a degree of self-reflection and openness that, if
done correctly, thoroughly, realistically and written well, will in actuality
garner more respect than virtually anything else you can do. However, it's also
a double-edged sword that mandates your adherence and constant effort to reach
your written objectives and goals. The problem is that while most are rather
open about their areas of improvement, very few actually quantify what they are
going to do to improve and set specific goals that are realistically obtainable.
The first step may be in just approaching and completing the reviews of your
direct reports first and doing them with the same intensity and focus as you do
yours. This step gets you in the game so to speak and allows you to tie yours
into your teams and also may just give you some feedback you need to hear.
