RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
In direct response to the growing threat of Organized Retail Crime (ORC),
Universal Surveillance Systems (USS Corporation) announces the launch of the USS
Power of 4™ System, a one-of-a-kind system designed to specifically target ORC
activity and combines four technologies in one platform. The ever-growing issue
of ORC is costing retailers over $30 billion each year in losses, resulting in
millions of dollars of lost sales tax revenue. In addition, ORC poses a threat
to employee safety and consumer health. 

The official unveiling of this unique, revolutionary system took place on the
opening day of the National Retail Federation`s (NRF) Loss Prevention Expo, June
15, 2009. A large crowd of loss prevention executives and top ORC investigators
turned out for the unveiling presentation of the Power of 4™ and witnessed as
Joe LaRocca, Senior Asset Protection Advisor for the NRF, and Steve McClain, VP
of Asset Protection for Sports Authority, "cut the ribbon" at the launch
ceremony and Adel Sayegh, President & CEO of USS Corporation, shared his passion
and commitment for giving back to the retail loss prevention community. 

"USS Corporation is committed to fighting ORC alongside our retail partners. We
have devoted significant R & D resources to developing the most innovative
technology that will thwart ORC activity," explains Adel Sayegh. "We must stay
one step ahead of these criminals and anticipate their next move. I believe the
Power of 4™ will give retailers more than just a fighting chance against this
serious threat; it gives retailers an edge that did not exist previously." In
addition to developing technology, USS Corporation actively supports ORC
legislation and hosts ORC Conferences across the country to promote networking
and partnerships between the private and public sectors. 

Combining state of the art EAS technology with advanced early detection tools,
the USS Power of 4™ System is the first of its kind allowing retailers to target
professional ORC criminals along with everyday shoplifters all in one system.
This ground-breaking system gives retailers advance notification of ORC
activity, allowing stores to be more proactive and help prevent heavy losses. 

The Power of 4™ system contains four different technologies designed to target
four methods used by would-be thieves. It incorporates early detection of
booster bags, a long favorite tool of ORC criminals, as well as advanced
notification of magnetic detachers. It is also equipped with an anti-jamming
circuit to render the latest ORC tool, EAS jamming devices, useless and alarms
when an EAS jammer is detected. And finally, it incorporates advanced EAS
technology, making the Power of 4™ truly an all-in-one system giving retailers
security and peace of mind. 

"I appreciate the work USS Corporation has done for Organized Retail Crime
detection and prevention. ORC is a serious issue that needs serious solutions!
The negative impact of ORC is far reaching and goes beyond affecting just
retailers. It`s time to put all our energies into real solutions that will slow
down these criminals, such as supporting ORC legislation and developing new
technologies," says Frank Muscato, Organized Retail Crime Investigations
Supervisor at Walgreens.
