Robbery is one of the most feared crimes. Period. Every financial institution -- banks, credit unions and thrifts -- must provide both initial and continuing robbery response training for ALL employees. It's not an option -- it's required by all of the state and federal regulatory agencies. The institution's Security Director is responsible for developing and managing the institution's Security Program -- and the Security Program must contain policies and procedures that address robberies. The number of robberies increases and decreases in every region of the country -- it's a business cycle. The need for a standardized, comprehensive robbery training program remains constant, however. And a separate robbery training program should be developed for managers and executives -- because their duties and responsibilities before, during and after a robbery will likely be different than those of staff and their immediate supervisors. Managers and executives may have to make critical decisions about courses of actions -- decisions that staff and supervisors are either unprepared, unwilling or not authorized to make.
The primary purpose for learning about the specialized crime of robbery is that learning simple, effective robbery response techniques may save lives -- and the lives of family members, co-workers and customers. This training process -- coupled with the implementation of appropriate policies and procedures -- allows and encourages managers and executives to make intelligent and informed decisions about supervising employees' actions during a robbery in progress. Most financial institutions train their employees to respond to only one or two kinds of robberies -- and there are actually several robbery methods, each one with its own mechanical characteristics and suggested responses. Most institutions don't conduct an appropriate risk assessment exercise to determine any vulnerability to robberies and related crimes -- and most institutions also don't train their employees how to prevent robberies and related crimes. Developing robbery prevention and response strategies logically makes all employees more aware of their surroundings and their options -- and the planning exercise helps to reveal flaws in the institution's response and training tactics. All business unit managers and executives should participate in the development and implementation of the institution's robbery training program, even of those business units are not located within the normal customer service platform.
This presentation provides a logical and strategic model that's designed to help managers and executives understand the true scope of the processes used to prevent and respond to several kinds of robberies. By understanding the cause and effect relationships between the institution's security devices, policies and procedures and training programs, managers and executives may better support the Security Officer in designing and implementing a standardized, institution-wide robbery prevention and response process. This presentation is designed as a "turnkey" solution to required robbery training -- a solution that may be used to train every employee group within the institution.
