Racial Profiling - Former CVS store detectives file class-action lawsuit
accusing bosses of ordering them to target black & Hispanic shoppers
Four former store detectives employed by CVS in New York filed a class-action
lawsuit against the drugstore chain on Wednesday, accusing their bosses of
ordering them to target black and Hispanic shoppers. The lawsuit, filed in
Federal District Court in Manhattan, also alleged that the detectives were fired
after they complained about racial discrimination, against both customers and
themselves.
The four former detectives claim that two loss prevention managers at stores in
Manhattan and Queens were the "ringleaders" in the racial profiling of potential
shoplifters, which was also perpetuated by store managers.
"CVS intentionally targets and racially profiles its black and Hispanic shoppers
based on the highly offensive, discriminatory and ill-founded institutional
belief that these minority customers are criminals and thieves," the complaint
states. "Rather than attempting to prevent shoplifting by individuals of all
races equally and without regard to race, defendants repeatedly direct [market
investigators] to racially profile black and Hispanic customers."
The plaintiffs, all of whom are either black or Hispanic, contend in their suit
that two supervisors in CVS's loss-prevention department, overseeing stores in
Manhattan and Queens, regularly told them to racially profile nonwhite shoppers.
The suit says that one of the supervisors, Anthony Salvatore, routinely told
subordinates that "black people always are the ones that are the thieves," and
that "lots of Hispanic people steal." The second supervisor, Abdul Selene,
frequently advised detectives, known at CVS as market investigators, to "watch
the black and Hispanic people to catch more cases," the suit said.
The supervisors also subjected the plaintiffs to discriminatory treatment, the
suit said. When one plaintiff, Kerth Pollack, got into an argument with a store
manager, Mr. Salvatore phoned him and demanded that he "get his black ass back
to the store and apologize," the suit said. A different store manager once
instructed another plaintiff, Delbert Sorhaindo, to "hide like a monkey" to
avoid being detected by potential shoplifters, the suit said.
When the plaintiffs complained about these and other episodes to officials at
CVS, the suit said, they were subjected within weeks "to increased scrutiny,
micromanagement and fabricated performance criticism."
Mr. Pollack, Ms. Simpson and Mr. Sorhaindo, each of whom had worked for CVS
about four years, were all fired between February and April. Ms. Steele worked
for the chain for a few months; she was not allowed to return to work in July
2013 after taking an approved leave, the lawsuit said.
A CVS spokeswoman told Law360 that the company "rigorously enforces"
nondiscrimination policies. Carolyn Castel, a spokeswoman for CVS Health Corp
said the company was "shocked" by the lawsuit and would fight the claims. "We
serve all communities and we do not tolerate any policy or practice that
discriminates against any group," she said.
The lawsuit comes about a year after Macy's Inc and Barneys agreed to pay
$650,000 and $525,000, respectively, to settle complaints that they harassed
black customers.

Efforts to Curb Asset Seizures by Law Enforcement Hit Headwinds - A Dozen States
Failed to Pass Bills Restricting or Abolishing Forfeiture Moves to
limit confiscation stall amid pressure from prosecutors, police. Critics have
taken aim at the confiscatory powers over concerns that authorities have too
much latitude and often too strong a financial incentive when deciding whether
to seize property suspected of being tied to criminal activity. But after New
Mexico passed a law this spring hailed by civil-liberties groups as a
breakthrough in their effort to rein in states' forfeiture programs, prosecutor
and police associations stepped up their own lobbying campaign, warning
legislators that passing such laws would deprive them of a potent crime-fighting
tool and rip a hole in law-enforcement budgets. Their effort, at least at the
state level, appears to be working. At least a dozen states considered bills
restricting or even abolishing forfeiture that isn't accompanied by a conviction
or gives law enforcement less control over forfeited proceeds. But most measures
failed to pass.

Upper Arlington, OH., Sees 25% Spike In Retail Theft According to
Upper Arlington Police, there has been about a 25% jump in theft at retail shops
and big grocery stores in the area. With the recent spike in this type of crime,
authorities say retailers are catching on and making changes in hopes of
reversing this current trend. Police say the reason behind the spike in the past
several months is drugs. Detectives say these criminals hit a lot of chain
stores and move from one location to the next. In addition, they're taking two
to three reports of theft a week when it comes to the big grocery stores.

studies for identifying the cause and turning problem stores around. nrf.com
Poor Customer Service Risking Billions in Retail Losses Attention retailers. It's the mistreated customer who walks out the door in a
silent huff who places the most revenue at risk, according to a collaborative
study conducted by LoyaltyOne and Verde Group. The survey shows that
approximately half of 2,500 U.S. consumers polled reported experiencing a
problem on their last shopping trip. Of those customers, 81% decided not to
contact the retailer about the issue. Among these silent shoppers, 32% said they
were unlikely to recommend the retailer to friends and family, putting these
shoppers at-risk of decreasing their spend with the retailer. By comparison, the
study shows that shoppers who did notify retailers of their poor experience and
had their problem completely resolved were 84% less likely than silent shoppers
to be at risk of decreasing their spend. "The results are a resounding
confirmation that poor customer experiences have a considerable negative impact
on shopper spend and attrition which can run into the billions," stated Dennis Armbruster, LoyaltyOne consulting VP and managing partner.
"We're ushering in a new era of customer experience measurement vital to
retailers looking to make even more informed decisions."

Kroger recognized for food safety technology
The company's innovative electronic temperature monitoring project has been
named a winner of the 2015 CIO 100 Award by International Data Group's CIO
Magazine. "We are honored to be listed among the CIO 100," said Chris Hjelm,
Kroger's chief information officer. "From our inventors and innovators in Kroger
Technology to our Food Safety and Retail Operations groups, so many Kroger teams
worked together to make electronic temperature monitoring a success and they all
share in our appreciation." Kroger's electronic temperature monitoring
initiative, FAST (Food at Safe Temperature) Alerts, tracks cold and frozen food
case temperatures and notifies store associates of temperature changes. Using
interactive sensors that are connected through an in-store network, FAST Alerts
helps ensure that fresh foods remain fresher, longer by making real-time
temperature checks of produce, meat, deli and frozen food products. The
technology also eliminates the need for manual temperature logs.

44% of Retailers experience 50 cyber-attacks a month According to new
research by the Ponemon Institute. Even more shockingly, it was also revealed
that retailers can take up to 197 days to detect a data breach, never mind take
steps to mitigate its impact. Given the significant challenges this data
suggests for retailers, and in light of last year's string of high profile
cyberattacks, retail organisations are under urgent pressure to improve their
security posture.

Risk Managers Seek Simpler Data-Breach Notification The Risk and
Insurance Management Society is pushing a bill that would streamline the current
cyber-notification system under a single federal regulator. Worried about
reputation risks and the fines their companies could be hit with if they fail to
properly notify regulators of a data breach, risk managers are pushing a
Congressional bill that would streamline the current 47-state notification
system under a single federal regulator. The bill, called
The Data Security and Breach Notification Act of 2015, would pre-empt all
state notification laws, set up a time frame for notification, establish the
content that notification would require, and identify who must be notified. cfo.com
PCI was established by the banking industry as a way to shift blame for data
security problems to retailers and can cost a large merchant upwards of $100M
for compliance "PCI was sold to the retail industry as a fix for flaws in
the cards that enabled hackers to pick up data," Duncan says. "The majority of
cards still have critical information exposed on mag stripes. Rather than
redesigning the cards to make them less prone to fraud, PCI is just telling
retailers to build a fortress around their systems. The problem is that when you
build an eight-foot wall, someone will build a 10-foot ladder." PCI is "largely
a diversion," he says. "And as hackers become more sophisticated and outrun PCI,
the card companies are reneging on their promise that retailers would be
relieved of their responsibility if they were PCI compliant."

Verizon stresses supply chain IT security - 'Data is the oil of the 21st
century'
When it comes to supply chain security, most retailers are diligent about things
like locking up warehouses and vehicles. But when it comes to securing
technology used to manage supply chain operations, retailer diligence often
trails off. "There is a problem with IT systems lacking point security in the
supply chain world," said Jeffrey Luft, global practice leader for
transportation and distribution at Verizon Enterprise Solutions. "Retailers
don't lock down their point data, leading to data hacking and supply chain
disruption." As opposed to the theft of credit card data, where stolen
consumer information is usually resold and used almost immediately, Luft said
stolen supply chain data may not deliver value to criminals for an extended
period of time. "There may be value in knowing what route a truck will take
or when a particular ship will dock at what port in what country," Luft
explained. "Or knowing what inventory is located in what distribution center.
And nobody is the wiser hackers have been in the system. Then a few months down
the road, a truck carrying a valuable jewelry shipment is hijacked."
In addition to outside hackers, internal employees may also misuse access to
supply chain data to help pull off "inside jobs" that can cost retailers large
amounts of money. Luft said retailers must carefully monitor and restrict
employee access to supply chain systems and data. "Everyone might have access to
a database, but not everyone needs access to specific inventory numbers or where
outbound shipments are going." Luft recommends that retailers regularly hire
outside security consultants to perform analysis of supply chain technology
security and probe for weaknesses that a criminal might exploit. "Data is the
oil of the 21st century," said Luft. "In addition to testing rapid detection
of and response to supply chain security breaches should be part of all
retailers' business continuity plans. Plan for alternate sources of goods if
there is a supply chain disruption."

Alibaba Revamps Fake-Goods Procedures
New rules offer some global brands faster responses, dedicated representatives.
Under the new rules, global brands that have been highly accurate in flagging
fake goods on Alibaba's Tmall and Taobao will have their complaints reviewed in
one to three working days, compared with five to seven days previously. Brands
that sign up for the program will also have a dedicated representative to deal
with their complaints, according to the Chinese company. Alibaba hasn't
disclosed how many brands have enrolled in its "good-faith takedown" program,

Mobile-Driven Consumers Driving Retail's Fate
A new study released by UPS shows that the engaged customer, who are often
driven by mobile technology, play a key role in the future of the retail
industry. As online shoppers become savvier, the study also reveals that
retailers must do more to stay competitive. This includes investing in mobile
features, flexible shipping options and hassle-free returns. The study also
showed that consumers research more when it comes to purchasing decisions and
are increasingly influenced by social media, and free shipping continues to
drive purchasing decisions. "The future of retail is driven by ever increasingly
sophisticated and savvy shoppers who research at home and in a store, but more
are turning to mobile as capabilities improve for online product display and
promotion," said Alan Gershenhorn, UPS executive vice president and chief
commercial officer. "They also want more flexibility and alternate delivery
options."
Some key points from the study that indicate what consumers want out of their
commerce experience include:
● Online shoppers often change retail channels for: better prices (57 percent)
and selection (49 percent). 48 percent of online shoppers have used ship to
store in the past year; 45 percent of those have made an additional purchase
when picking up their online purchase.
● Even when consumers shop online, they often return in store. 39 percent of
consumers make returns prefer to ship the product back, but 61percent said they
prefer to return in store. In-store returns often lead to more purchases, as 70
percent of consumers purchase more when they return online; only 42 percent who
return online make a purchase during that process.

FENCING OPERATION: Lorain County, OH business owners arrested, charged with
received stolen property A simultaneous execution of search
warrants at two Lorain businesses June 3, netted the arrests of two store
owners and caused what police say is a hopeful ripple in a systemic burglary
and drug epidemic plaguing the area. At 1:30 p.m., the Lorain Police
Department's property crimes division and the Ohio Department of Public
Safety (ODPS) Investigative Unit's Cleveland division served warrants at 611
Market, 1550 Colorado Ave., and Rudy's 2 Market, 523 W. 23rd St. During
their investigation, the 2 Store Owners were taken into custody and charged
with misdemeanor receiving stolen property. Additional charges may follow
pending the completion of the investigation, said Lorain property crimes
Detective Jacob Morris. Morris said items seized from both locations must be
inventoried, determined if they are stolen goods and then given a valuation.
Once complete, charges against both men could be adjusted, he said. During
their "months-long" investigation into the stores' activities, police allege
the men were purchasing stolen items from customers, and in turn re-selling
them in their establishments. Officers from both agencies were seen bagging
evidence, including large quantities of power tools, lawn and gardening
equipment, gaming systems, phones, bicycles, cash and an alleged substance
Morris believes is "spice" - a synthetic form of cannabis - which he said
will be sent for laboratory testing.

According to their arrest warrants, 23-year-old Cazzion McCarthy and
37-year-old Kelvin Cowan stole more than $50,000 worth of property from the
AAFES Dan Daniel Distribution Center. "We expect all associates to be
mindful of the exchange mission," said Judd Anstey, senior public relations

working at the distribution center for three years, but no longer work
there.

Armed Walmart shoplifter in custody in Greenwood Village, Colorado, standoff
with SWAT ends after nearly 20 Hours An armed Walmart shoplifter is in
custody after firing shots at police and barricading himself inside a Greenwood
Village home in an hours-long standoff. The standoff continues into
Thursday. Police are negotiating with the man who illegally entered a house.
Police say a 9-year-old boy was home at the time the suspect entered, but the
boy was able to safely escape to his mother who was waiting outside. The man
fired shots at officers through the home's garage doors. No one was hurt. Early
Thursday morning, police entered the home and the suspect once again fired shots
at police. Officers did not fire back. Seven homes have been evacuated in the
area. Several loud explosions have been heard in the neighborhood. Greenwood

seen leaving the store in a silver Lexus, which was later found abandoned.

Thieves break through wall to Steal $500K in Jewels From Stafford, VA Store
The safe inside Princess Jewelry in North Stafford, Virginia was made of metal
and three inches of concrete -- but it wasn't tough enough to ward off jewel
thieves. In an elaborate heist, thieves recently stole more than $500,000 worth
of jewelry from the store's safe, breaking through a wall the business shares
with a vacant storefront. The thieves cut through a fence, broke into the
neighboring business and then cut holes in strategic spots of a wall Princess
shares with the space next door. The intruders disabled the phone line, Internet
and security system, worked their way into the safe and disappeared with a huge
haul. Two similar burglaries are being investigated in nearby Fairfax County.

labels on prescriptions stolen during the late April riots included patient
names, addresses and the names of medication, but not other sensitive data such

Cargo Theft: Four JFK Airport Workers Nabbed in Two Separate Theft Schemes
Four alleged thieves, two schemes, hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen
merchandise, one airport, and two words: inside jobs. According to Queens
District Attorney Richard Brown, four John F. Kennedy International Airport
workers last week were busted in two separate incidents allegedly involving
goods being stolen from the transportation hub. In the first scheme, Brown said,
two Brooklyn men who work in a JFK cargo warehouse allegedly swiped tens of
thousands of dollars' worth of electronic tablets, cameras, memory cards and
more during the busy Memorial Day weekend. In the other incident, two Queens men
allegedly poached a carton containing 12 pairs of Oklahoma City Thunder forward
Kevin Durant's new "KD8" basketball sneakers that were en route from the factory
in Taiwan to Ontario, Canada, via JFK. According to the criminal complaints,
after the carton went missing, numerous photos of the unreleased KD8
sneakers-including one showing the factory box and serial number-were posted for
sale on Instagram sales account @SNKR_BASE, claiming that "they are the real
deal" and "dropping July." The first posting advertising the sneakers for sale
allegedly was on May 10, the day after they arrived at the airport.

Sponsored by Vector Security |
Transitioning to a new position, a new job, a new market is a great opportunity
to reinvent yourself and your brand so to speak. It gives you the perfect chance
to look at yourself and say how can I improve and be truly what I want to be. It
erases your blackboard and allows you the chance to write something new,
something you've always wanted to be. A move, often times referred to as a
geographical cure, can be just the medicine to help start a new you.
Just a Thought,
Gus
