Crime Statistics Involving Banks

The FBI publishes its "Part 1 Crime Statistics" every year -- which means that those statistics may be a year past their pull date. Your best resource is likely a local security manager peer group. This group is often sponsored by local law enforcement agencies and includes security managers from many occupations, including many other financial institutions.

Peer group contacts become part of your "brain trust" and you can learn a lot from these local groups -- and if one doesn't exist in your area, why not start one?
