Robbery Prevention & Response

Monday, April 13, 2020 
2:30 pm – 4:30 pm Eastern

How can we send the message to robbers that they should go elsewhere? Protecting our assets is critical, and our employees are our most valued asset. Although losses due to fraud dwarf the amount lost to robberies each year, bank robberies pose a much greater risk to employees and members. In this session, find out what makes a robber choose his target, and learn ways to safeguard you and your institution against these criminals. Every employee can play a role in prevention, and all should be well versed in the safest method of response. Recent case studies and trends will also be examined to extract lessons learned.

Topics Covered:

• Making your location more attractive to customers and less attractive to criminals
• Physical security measures to reduce your risk
• Safe opening procedures
• Considerations at closing time
• Examination of recent cases of robbery/kidnapping
• Protecting you, your employees, and your family
• Bank robbers: in their own words
