LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

A

As another year comes to an end, it is encouraging to see our country start to return to normal. Even though it has not been an easy thing to accomplish, PFIA has continued to grow in both assets and surplus. Our sales director, regional managers, and representatives have done an excellent job in continuing to help our members protect themselves and their families.

We hope all the representatives who joined us for the sales convention in Marco Island had a great time. It took a special effort from the qualifiers’ and we are proud to have been able to host you and your family at the convention. The plans for next year’s convention have already been put in place and we look forward to an even larger convention next year.

It is an exciting time for PFIA as we look forward to 2022. We will return to our normal business operations beginning with training seminars in the spring. The fact that the Association is growing in new areas and restarting in existing areas allows PFIA to continue to be one of the most financially secure fraternal benefit associations in the country. The Association is also continuing to work on updating our home office operating system. The new system will be both memberfriendly and help our home office staff be able to better serve our members. Our Association is constantly striving to better serve our members.

I also want to acknowledge our Vice President of Operations and Home Office staff for all of their hard work in supporting our members and their families. They work behind the scenes every day and are essential to the success of this Association. I am fortunate and grateful to work with such a dedicated group of individuals. They define what has guided this Association for over 108 years, “We are Each Others Keeper.”

In closing, I want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season!

Virginia Beach Woman Sentenced to Prison for $31.8 Million Coupon Fraud The first time the Coupon Information Corporation (CIC) called Postal Inspector Jason Thomasson with a tip about a Virginia Beach resident who they believed was making and mailing counterfeit coupons, the center didn’t yet have a sense of the fraud’s scale. Without a loss amount, Thomasson didn’t think he could gather support for an investigation.

A few months later, the CIC, an association of manufacturers that tracks coupon fraud, called back to say they had linked over $125,000 in fakes to the suspected counterfeiter. At that point, Thomasson started asking around the FBI’s Norfolk Office, where

2

The PFIA Protector • www.pfia1913.org

he works as a task force officer, for a partner on the investigation.

Special Agent Shannon Brill was intrigued. “It was a different type of case,” she said. The pair went to work.

And last month, that counterfeit coupon maker was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison and ordered to pay $31.8 million in restitution to the retailers and manufacturers who suffered losses in her scheme. Brill and Thomasson said that loss number is likely a conservative estimate of what Lori Ann Talens, 41, and her group of criminal couponers were able to steal.

Talens’ husband was also

convicted for supporting the scheme and sentenced to 87 months in prison.

For anyone who has casually clipped coupons for $1.50 off shampoo or cat litter, it’s hard to comprehend how fake coupons could add up to those staggering figures. But Brill and Thomasson said it came down to the volume of coupons Talens created and her ability to create fakes that offered deep discounts off of goods.

“She trained herself in the different techniques she needed to manipulate barcodes to make these coupons work,” said Brill.

Talens had a background in marketing and strong computer

design skills. Brill and Thomasson said she was able to create a coupon for almost any grocery or drug store product and to make it for whatever value off she wanted.

Often the discount was near or even over the retail value of the item.

“She had coupons for $24.99 off a $25 box of diapers. And it would work,” said Thomasson. “And you’d have people walking out the door with those diapers for almost nothing.”

The investigators said store cashiers are not asked to question the coupons customers are using.

“That’s not their job,” said Brill.

If the coupon scanned correctly, the store would honor it, she explained.

So the fakes would go undiscovered for weeks or even months. Coupons typically travel from local stores to central coupon clearinghouses. The coupon clearinghouses collect them and then bill the product manufacturer for their value. That’s how the retailer gets repaid.

“If the coupons are rejected, if they are counterfeit, then the retailer doesn’t get paid back for them,” said Brill. “But that whole process takes a lot of time. By the time a coupon gets identified as being fraudulent or fake, that coupon has already been used who knows how many times.”

Talens not only regularly used her own coupons, but she sold them to a large group of subscribers who found her through social media groups. Using an encrypted app to communicate with her customers, she only allowed in new members if they were referred by an existing member of the group.

Each new buyer had to send a copy of their ID and provide evidence that they had used counterfeit coupons before—a way of making sure her buyers accepted some amount of risk in the scheme. Talens accepted payment through popular payment applications or by virtual currency and sometimes exchanged coupons for stolen rolls of the special paper stores use to print out coupons.

Over three years, Talens was paid about $400,000 by her subscribers; the agents credit a diligent FBI forensic accountant for painstakingly tracing thousands of transactions through payment apps and virtual currency wallets.

With the profits, she paid for high-end home renovations, including a new kitchen, sunroom, and in-ground swimming pool.

Her family also took trips, shopped, and dined out while paying little or nothing for the things they consumed.

Investigators said that when they served the search warrant, they found fake coupons—worth more than $1 million—in every crevice of the house. “There were coupons in every jacket pocket; they were stuffed in her vehicles,” said Thomasson. They also found designs on Talens’ computer that allowed her to create coupons for more than 13,000 products.

While coupon fraud may sound like an insignificant crime, it creates painful ripples through the economy. “Someone has to eat those losses,” said Thomasson. “It ultimately funnels down to us, the consumers.”

pay for those crimes,” echoed Brill. She also wants people to understand there is a real risk in trying to cheat stores and product manufacturers with fake coupons, and those risks extend beyond the person running the scheme.

Brill and Thomasson said the Talens investigation is not closed out, and those who participated in her group or engage in similar schemes should not be surprised if they hear from investigators. ■ https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/womansentenced-for-coupon-fraud-102121

How to Avoid Counterfeit Coupons Never buy coupons or pay a person or organization that charges a fee for obtaining, clipping, or organizing coupons.

Never pay to join a group that gives you access to coupons.

Never download or print coupons from online forums or groups. Internet print-at-home coupons may be available on the manufacturer’s website or their authorized distributor.

Read and follow all terms and conditions printed on coupons.

The CIC has an app that allows retailers and law enforcement to check suspicious coupons. You can request access through the CIC. Be suspicious of any coupon that is valued near or above the retail price of the item.

Suspect fraud? Reach out to the CIC or send a tip to the FBI.

2021 Special Award World Bicycle Day of the United Nations Pictured: President/Captain Jeff Obier, Chairman/Lt. Jason Cusack, Firefighter Ron Prisco, and Program Founder/Retired Firefighter Alan Riggs.

Kids pictured are past helmet recipients.

The North Haven Professional Firefighters Association, IAFF Local 2987, has been awarded the United Nations 2021 Special Award of World Bicycling Day for promoting safe cycling for school children. The North Haven Firefighters have been promoting bicycle safety for the last 25 years through their bike helmet

safety program. Each year the firefighters visit every first grade class in the public school system and explain the importance of bicycle safety and wearing a helmet while riding. They then host a day at the fire station where each first grader signs a safety pledge and is given a new bicycle helmet. The program began 25 years ago after the firefighters responded to several bicycle accidents involving children who were not wearing helmets.

The firefighters saw a need to showcase the importance of wearing a helmet when riding a bicycle and the program was born.

Through the years the firefighters have given out more than 2,500

Why celebrate the bicycle?

Regular physical activity of moderate intensity – such as walking, cycling, or doing sports – has significant benefits for health. At all ages, the benefits of being physically active outweigh potential harm (through accidents, for example). Some physical activity is better than none. By becoming more active throughout the day in relatively simple ways, people can quite easily achieve the recommended activity levels.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), safe infrastructure for walking and cycling is also a pathway for achieving greater health equity. For the poorest urban sector, who often cannot afford private vehicles, walking and cycling can provide a form of transport while reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, diabetes, and even death. Accordingly, improved active transport is not only healthy; it is also equitable and cost-effective.

Meeting the needs of people who walk and cycle continues to be a critical part of the mobility solution for helping cities de-couple population growth from increased emissions, and to improve air quality and road safety. The COVID-19 pandemic has also led many cities to rethink their transport systems.

MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARD

THOSE WHO PERFORM

Above and Beyond CPR on Newport Bridge Newport, Rhode Island — On October 12, 2021, during this year’s Pell Bridge run, a participant experienced a cardiac emergency and collapsed.

Three off-duty members of Local 1080 (Firefighter Michael Turskey, Firefighter Luke Leys, and Firefighter Riley Bolan), who were participating in the run, came up to where the patient collapsed at the center span of the bridge. Off-duty Firefighters Turskey, Leys, and Bolan immediately recognized that the patient was in cardiac arrest and began CPR. A detail crew from Alert Ambulance arrived with an AED and delivered initial shocks.

Newport Rescue 1, Engine 1, and Car 2 soon arrived and took over for the off-duty members. They delivered subsequent shocks and continued CPR and treatment until the patient regained a pulse and full consciousness on the scene. The patient was then moved to a Jamestown Rescue, which had arrived in the eastbound lane, and transported with a Newport Paramedic on board to Charlton Memorial Hospital.

The patient was later discharged from the hospital in good health.

High quality CPR, early defibrillation and multiple agencies working together as a team were the keys to making this a positive outcome for this patient. Job well done to all who responded that day, especially our off-duty members, who did not hesitate to act when a citizen needed them most!

CHARITABLE FUND

PFIA’S

Charitable Fund PFIA can accept charitable contributions to the Fund that are tax deductible for the person or company donating.

The Board consists of the Executive Committee and two other current Board Members. The Board will determine every December meeting how much PFIA will contribute to the fund and then distribute the funds to predetermined charities. The fund will be distributed to a zero balance and start over on January 1st of every year.

We will lean heavily towards children and military families. The four funds that we will contribute to will be: Make-A-Wish Foundation®, Special Olympics, Special Operations Warrior Foundation, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Everyone gives money to charities of their choice, but we think that giving our members a place to give — where they know 100% of funds are distributed to charities close to their heart — will be a very benevolent endeavor.

We think that will be a great extension of our fraternal mission and hope it is received well and becomes the go-to place for members to help others.

What better way to fulfill our fraternal mission in today’s society with over 100 years of service with donating money to the deserving funds listed?

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SURVEILLANCE

By: Rebekah Brownson

V

ideo surveillance is everywhere. Regardless of whether there are people watching, you can always bet you’re being recorded. No matter where you go, you always see people with some type of surveillance, whether it be a cell phone, home surveillance system, According to Statista, this year, the global surveillance technology or for professional use. market is expected to grow to about 90 billion U.S. dollars.

Surveillance technology refers to the software necessary for monitoring behavior and activities, as well as managing information.

This market also includes technology needed for video surveillance and big data.

14

The PFIA Protector • www.pfia1913.org

Surveillance is immeasurable considering it has grown such a significant amount over the years, and its becoming quite effective in helping law enforcement.

Although the majority of us benefit from surveillance, this technology has both advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, there are people all over the world with cellphones trying to record a video to go viral, which can be good considering that without police presence, a bystander can record a crime and turn it over to police as evidence.

Like so many other social media users, I’ve seen so many videos with millions of views that were recorded with one thing in mind: People are looking to get famous. Some of these videos are unbelievable and hard to watch, especially when they involve people getting seriously hurt.

With this in mind, everyone having a cell phone, you’d think a potential criminal would see a camera and fear being caught, but that’s not always the case. A recent incident in Pennsylvania shows how this can play out in real life. According to NBC News, “For more than 40 minutes, a woman was harassed by a stranger on a public transit train in Philadelphia and then raped while bystanders held up their cellphones, seemingly to record the assault, police said.”

The attack happened on the city’s transit system, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, or SEPTA. The incident led to calls from police urging the public “to be our partners and to watch out for other riders” after officials said passengers did not physically intervene or call 911.”

Although this man was arrested, it is troubling that no one intervened before the damage had already been done.

Another downside of constant surveillance is that someone’s

image can be documented without their consent and perhaps shared without their knowledge.

Each state has its own laws but in Indiana, the question of whether taking video of a conversation without the other person’s permission is allowed depends in part upon the location. In the past, courts have ruled there isn’t a reasonable expectation of privacy when a conversation is being held in public. This is why so many videos of misconduct are taken in public places. However, once the conversation enters a private space, the rules may differ.

Secondly, residents have home surveillance systems to monitor things when they aren’t home, or to watch outside their homes, catching porch pirates in the act for example. Many criminals keep their eye on the prize rather than looking to see if a home has a camera. These cameras can capture a visible description of the perpetrator, which can help law enforcement identify the suspects. Also, if a crime has been committed in your neighborhood, your camera could possibly catch the make and model of a car or even capture a license plate number.

We have a program in place at the Noblesville Police Department here in Indiana called the Video Surveillance Access Program, where the NPD partners with businesses and private residents who provide video footage from privately installed camera systems to identify suspects and vehicles involved in active criminal investigations. You fill out an online form so they can keep

track of where the cameras are located. NPD would then know that the person or business is open to sharing surveillance footage to aid in their investigations, if necessary. If they are investigating a crime where recorded video could play a role, the department will reach out to you for access to your system. If needed, officers can assist you with recovery of the video.

I spoke with Deputy Chief Jason Voyak from the NPD and he states; “NPD also partners in an app offered by a major video doorbell company. What that allows is for us to put a reasonable Geo Fence around an area where a crime has occurred and send out a message to those doorbells within that perimeter through the app asking for any assistance with our investigation. If someone then feels compelled they can check their cameras and see if there might be footage contained within that can aid our investigation.

They would then share it with us by their own volition.”

“There have been numerous incidents in which camera footage has been instrumental in the solving of crimes. NPD has used footage as evidence where actual crimes were committed on camera, or neighbors’ cameras have captured vehicles (continued on next page) Winter 2021 • The PFIA Protector

15

or people coming to or leaving crime scenes. There have even been times when we have been reviewing footage during a search warrant for cameras and have incidentally found evidence of other crimes that have occurred within the home. Although I can’t be specific, suffice it to say that private surveillance cameras and interactive doorbells have become a mainstay during criminal investigations. They are a very valuable resource for law enforcement and that will only continue to expand in future years with the advancement of technology.”

On the other hand, a home surveillance can be used against law enforcement, which can be very dangerous. This can be done by alerting the home owner/suspect of police presence, capturing images of the officer’s faces, and allowing the surveillance to give away their location around their home.

“These incidents are used by law enforcement agencies nationally and globally to tailor training.

New tactics are continually being employed to overcome counter surveillance. I don’t feel it appropriate to name some of

16

The PFIA Protector • www.pfia1913.org

the specific measures officers are taking to accomplish this, but measures are always being created, reviewed, and adapted in an effort to keep officers as safe as reasonably possible.” Deputy Chief Voyak said.

Next, you can bet almost any business you go to will have surveillance to protect against vandalism, theft, or any illmannered incidents. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen on our police department’s social media photos of people that have committed crimes and they reach out to the public for help. This has

really helped departments because when you have most of the county viewing a video or photo, someone is bound determine to identify the perpetrator and turn them in.

Most importantly, we have dashboard cameras in police cruisers and body surveillance for police departments all across the country. These are beneficial to use to display what officers are doing. For example, everything from traffic stops to capturing interactions between police and citizens out in the field, especially when an officer is falsely accused of engaging in police brutality and other behaviors.

While use of body-worn cameras can raise concerns about privacy and prejudice, growing interest in the technology may foretell a shift in how law enforcement and the public perceive police activity.

It is favorable to be equipped with complete knowledge about any type of surveillance you are using in the field. Once you have weighed the odds of the unfavorable, choosing a camera that fulfills your needs and could be beneficial in the long run. ■

TIMELINE

PRESERVING THE HISTORY OF

First Responders The Murphy Call Box

Jeremiah “Jerry” Murphy, previously employed by the Cleveland Telephone Company, was hired as a lineman in 1887 for the Cleveland Police Department. He invented a small communication system named after him, The Murphy Call Box. This compact system combined the signal alarm, the telegraph and the telephone system into one unit. Each box was numbered and wired to a corresponding Gamewell alarm in the Central Station house. Each patrol officer was required to “ring-in” at predetermined times.

This was accomplished by pulling the lever inside the box which set in operation a wheel that sent a coded message via telegraph to the precinct house. One pull was the signal that the officer was on post and all right. Two pulls meant that the officer was requesting a patrol wagon to transport an arrested person.

In 1928, the year before radio communication was introduced into the CPD, there were 640 call boxes and 900 fire alarm boxes in use. The Police Call Boxes were all painted blue and the Fire Boxes were all painted red. The Murphy Call Box was the first of its kind in the United States and was copied by a number of other cities.

POLICE PATROL AND EXCHANGE The following is an excerpt from a 1898 history of the Cleveland Police Department.

One of the most interesting, efficient and useful features of the Department is the Police Patrol and Exchange System. It is in charge of Superintendent Jerry Murphy and was inaugurated June 1, 1887.

At first this department was more of an experiment than anything else and consisted of fifty patrol boxes; two patrol wagons;

18

The PFIA Protector • www.pfia1913.org

one stationed at the Central and the other at the Eighth Precinct; twenty-one instruments and twenty-one miles of wire. The experiment proved successful and the following year additions were made to the system, making it more efficient, and at this time, ten years after its inauguration, can be counted one of the best, if not the best of any department in the United States.

At present the system includes a very complete operating room

at the Central Station, one complete operating switchboard at the Sixth and Tenth Precincts, six patrol wagons, five patrol stations, four horses at each station, ninety-six instruments, 375 miles of wire, twenty-five miles of underground cable and two Cleveland Telephone wires. The system requires the attention of a Superintendent, three operators, two linemen and thirty Patrolmen, not to mention a corps of hostlers and other stable employees. The three operators and one of the two linemen are Patrolmen.

Police Exchange Room at Central Police Headquarters on Champlain Street circa 1890s.

Jerry Murphy, Superintendent of the system, was appointed to the department shortly before the system became a reality, and it is mainly through his efforts that the system has been brought to its present perfect condition.

The men on duty at the Police Exchange are L.J. Pillars, appointed to the force July 16, 1892; Henry Kramer, December 24, 1883; and E. H. McLean, August 1, 1883. These men have become very efficient through long service at their duties and contribute largely to the value of the system. https://www.clevelandpolicemuseum.org/news/the-murphy-call-box/

The Exchange Room at Central Police Headquarters at 2001 Payne Avenue circa 1930s. The Gamewell equipment punched a sequence of holes in the paper rolls. The operator was able to identify the location of the Call Box based upon the number of holes in each sequence.

Each Police Officer was issued a Badge, Wreath for the front of their cap, Call Box Key and Revolver. Each piece of equipment was stamped with the corresponding “badge number.” When an Officer left the Department they turned in their issued equipment and it was then reissued to their replacement.

Ingredients 3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls 4 cups cubed cooked turkey 1½ cups shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese 3 cups frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained 1 can (10 ¾ ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted 1⅓ cups 2% milk 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon dried minced onion ½ teaspoon salt Dash pepper 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Ingredients 1 cup plus ¼ teaspoon sugar, divided 3 tablespoons cornstarch ½ teaspoon salt 6 cups thinly sliced peeled Granny Smith apples 6 tablespoons maple syrup ¼ cup heavy whipping cream Dough for double-crust pie ½ teaspoon 2% milk

Directions Preheat oven to 375°.

Unroll 2 tubes of crescent roll dough; separate into rectangles. Place rectangles in an ungreased 15x10x1in. baking pan. Press onto the bottom and 1/4 in. up the sides of pan to form a crust, sealing seams and perforations. Bake 5-7 minutes or until light golden brown.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine turkey, cheese, broccoli, soup, milk, mustard, onion, salt and pepper.

Spoon over crust.

Unroll remaining dough; divide into 2 rectangles. Seal perforations. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 1-in. strips. Using strips, make a lattice design on top of turkey mixture. Brush with egg. Bake 17-22 minutes longer or until top crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.

Directions Preheat oven to 400°. For filling, in a large bowl, combine 1 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add apples; toss gently to coat. Combine maple syrup and cream; pour over apple mixture.

On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a ⅛ inch thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to ½ in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Add filling. Roll remaining dough to ⅛ inch thick. Cut out crust with a 1½ inch leaf-shaped cookie cutter. With a sharp knife, lightly score cutouts to resemble veins on leaves. Place cutouts over filling.
