    In the case of the Sun Valley robbery it's a moot point because it was a kiosk in the middle of the mall. I have personally observed most high end jewelry stores already have Security Guards.

    Check out JCAHO. That's who is realy important that is The Joint Commission, the global leader in healthcare accreditation and certification.

  • Paranoid pablito

    As long as we continue to be so absolutely limp-wristed on dealing with criminals, I'm sad to say we just can't have nice things (jewelry stores) in this state.

  • OutInTheStix

    Can't believe people actually buy and wear jewelry that has any obvious value. Really just places a target on your back and marks out your home as a repository of things to be burgled. Ladies in our family tend to…

  • Sushi lover

    Kaiser is the worst!! So glad I go to John Muir!!!

  • Badge1104

    We wouldn't need guards if we make jewelry stores like New York democrat mayor candidate Mamdani proposes to make everything free in stores. If groceries are free, surely jewelry must be free too because everyone deserves jewelry! Right? Oh the…

  • The Fearless Spectator

    And when retail is ruined, the bad guys will come to your door to commit their crimes.

  • Hammer head

    The stores need to decide what security they want.   Let's start by prosecuting criminals, even from small crimes. Community service for shop lifting may teach some that it is not worth it. The repeat offered then get jail time.

  • Paul

    Don’t worry. With all the porch pirates, home delivery will be destroyed too.

  • Paul

    I was surprised at the policy as well because what is the point of carry gun if you can’t take a first shot to protect yourself in a robbery. But then if you look at the view of the corporation,…

  • Jeff (the other one)

    If I owned a jewelry store, I would, at least in this area. Though I see the evolution of this as the "rebellious yutes" eventually just coming in firing and the shop owners/guards being prosecuted.

  • hanne jeppesen

    I have always read a lot. I read almost anything, fiction, biographies, autobiographies, trash once in awhlle like Jackie Collins, or Jaqueline Susann. Also love true crime books, have read several Ann Rule books, and several on the Manson family,…

    This is a good report - there are other health group measuring organizations.... you can get various viewpoints depending on where you look https://www.leapfroggroup.org/ratings-reports

    It should be allowed to all that want to employ armed guards... but deterrence mentioned are good ideas - double doors (and allowing jewelry stores to use them without fear of charges of "kidnapping" or entrapment), limiting number of customers…

    I didn't agree with Goldwater on much, but I had respect for him. He called a spade a spade. He also had a lot of common sense. He was once asked what he thought of gays in the military, and…

  • theunforgiven

    These morons will ruin retail stores and we will all have to order everything online delivered to our doors only.

  • hanne jeppesen

    I read that years ago. Good book

  • Dr. Jellyfinger

    If that truly is the policy, I doubt it was common knowledge ...... until now.

  • The Fearless Spectator

    Newsom has spent zero energy dealing with the fires with one exception: Making sure the $100M raised from the benefit concerts was funneled to his 38 favorite NGO's rather than to the fire victims. Money Laundering yet again.
