Security Blunders: Show & Tell

Recorded on January 19, 2011

Physical Security and Safety at your Financial Institution

Can you see banking facilities through the criminal's eyes?

Is your financial institution facility safe and secure? Don't put your account holders, employees, and potentially thousands of your asset dollars at risk!

The Program

BankersOnline Guru Barry Thompson, C.R.C.M. performs physical risk assessments to determine what makes financial institutions targets for bank robbery! He has performed reviews on financial institutions from New York City to Los Angeles. In this riveting webinar you will gain a working knowledge of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). This session will offer you a visual review on concepts and procedures that will improve your security.

Assessing the risks involved with the operation of a financial institution is a major concern of every CEO, operations staff, and security officer. Financial institutions often unwittingly make themselves targets for criminals and robbers. In this program we'll use actual pictures showing situations that make financial institutions targets for criminal attacks. Take advantage of mistakes others have made with physical security and avoid them yourself.

Join security and risk management "guru" Barry Thompson for a look at your financial institution facilities as a criminal would see them, both during operating hours and after hours. You may be surprised at what you see!
