Notifying law enforcement

If a financial institution discovers a crime or fraud and wants to notify law enforcement, what if anything is needed before records/documents are turned over to help with the investigation?

Security Officer Designation and Training

09/05/2021

To fill the role of security officer, our bank may at times arbitrarily appoint an employee from a branch location as the branch security officer. This employee could be a teller, a loan officer, a new accounts rep, or a loan officer who has not received any type of security officer training. I am concerned that the bank is putting employees into a position that they don’t really want to be in and are ill-equipped to handle. I was recently hired as the Senior Security Officer for the entire bank and would like to recommend that the bank discontinue this practice. Is this a normal practice at other banks and, if so, what type of training do you suggest we provide these “newly elected” security officers?

Request for Security Footage

08/29/2021

We have been asked by an individual (non-customer) to provide any security tape that might show a traffic accident on the street close to the bank. I do not want to release any security tape we may have without a subpoena. Am I correct?

Should we have an outside consultant conduct our assessments?

If you don’t have a budget for an outside expert, this webinar will provide valuable information for conducting your own. -------------------------- Learn more about Carol Dodgen’s<a href=”https://www.bollearningconnect.com/courses/target0721”> Take the Target Off Your Bank: Making Your Bank Less Attractive to Criminals </a> webinar.
