Robbery Statistics…
After reporting that robbery statistics were no longer available (checking four F.B.I. Offices and a quote from their public affairs office in Washington, DC), we received an interesting communication from them. We have reprinted part of it below. Some details that have been published in the past will not to be accumulated or disseminated, but the "bare-bones" numbers are ours once more. We hope you find them useful. Special thanks to Al Wood, CPP, Sr. Vice President and Director of Security, Liberty National Bank, Louisville, KY for his help.
