12:15 pm 1:15 pm Lunch 1:15 pm 2:00 pm Using the DHS SAFETY Act for liability protection, market differentiation, and insurance premium reduction. Dr. David McWhorter will present an overview of the Department of Homeland Security s Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act (the SAFETY Act) of 2002 and discuss its many relevancies to the shopping center security community. The specific areas of significance are the Act s unique ability to limit the liability of mall ownership and/or mall security services (humans and technology); the Act s role in market differentiation for security companies and the malls that represent some of the country s critical infrastructure; and the possibility that insurance underwriters will favorably consider SAFETY Act coverage when determining insurance premiums. The presentation will include a discussion of relevant companies that have already received SAFETY Act coverage, including ICSC for its Terrorist Awareness Training, and how these coverages can be leveraged by uncovered companies seeking to attain SAFETY Act protection.

Terrorism, serious organized crime, protests, disruptive product releases and flash mobs all had significant impacts, and this trend has continued into 2013. This session will review and consider the key factors underlying these topics; predict likely areas of development over both the short and long term; and consider lessons learned from the last 18 months. It will also examine current trends in social media, a field that continues to enable many incidents and that is changing rapidly, requiring constant education and evaluation.

And they ll get it by any means necessary. While their motivation hasn t changed, the means by which gang members commit their crimes has changed over the years just as the technology that makes it easier for them to commit the crimes has changed. Today, law enforcement officers are constantly chasing and playing catch up to these criminals and how they re committing crime. And just as these gang members are finding new and innovative ways to commit crime, they re also finding new ways to conceal their criminal activity and identification. Ben Pieper is a detective with the Bradenton (Fla.) Police Department, assigned to the Gang Unit. Detective Pieper has interviewed and documented hundreds of gang members, investigated thousands of gang-related crimes and he will discuss the ways gangs are using technology to commit and conceal their crimes.
