We perform security training at least annually to our bankers. We have separate loan production offices where mortgages are made. They don't participate in the training because they have no tellers, no vault, no cash. Are we OK with this?

Do you have a security check list for what a bank security officer should be checking in the branches?

How often should robbery training be conducted? We usually do it annually, but new hires end up waiting a long time for this.

I've been looking for an alternative to our current image technology. My institution is in the same position as many others: the need to upgrade our system and the desire to do better at providing an image of investigative quality, with no money to do it. Are there any new alternatives for our existing cameras? We've already dropped our lobby cameras to six feet and installed height-marker cameras.

Who should be included in BSA training? Is BSA training a requirement for all bank employees or just those to whom it applies?

Our internal auditor was asking how we monitor loan activity. We are not sure if the BSA person is responsible or if the loan department is responsible. Can anyone give me guidelines?

I work in bank fraud cases. We have a case management system in which we input all of our fraud cases (forgeries, counterfeit checks, unauthorized check card trans,etc...). We are trying to make a determination as to the difference between "recovery" and "loss avoidance" when it comes to bank fraud. Could you please help with a clear understanding on what determines in which category an item would fall?
