Robberies remain one of the most serious threats facing financial institutions.

When seconds count, staff must know exactly how to respond — before, during, and after an incident. This fast-paced, practical program will cover the fundamentals of robbery preparation and response, giving frontline employees and managers the confidence and tools they need to reduce risk, stay safe, and recover quickly.
 
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Keep the frontline safe
  • Identify key risk factors
  • Understand how to “harden the target”
  • Determine the one item that must be included in your security manual
  • Get your financial institution back to work after a robbery

WEBINAR DETAILS

This deep-dive robbery training will go back to basics. In this fast-paced session, staff will learn what to do immediately when confronted by a lone bandit with a gun, a note-passing robber, or even a takeover robbery. It will explore how procedures may differ depending on whether you operate a pod branch or a traditional branch.

This session will explore the critical post-robbery steps for helping staff recover and return to work, including recognizing and responding to psychosocial stress reactions. You’ll discover why criminals may view a robbed branch as a “soft” target and how to “harden” your defenses with a risk or vulnerability assessment. It will also cover media relations, including how your designated spokesperson and staff should respond to reporters to protect your institution’s reputation. If accountholders feel unsafe, branch traffic drops — and profitability follows. This session will prepare your team to protect lives, safeguard your institution, and restore confidence.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This essential training is designed for all financial institution staff. If you ever enter your branch lobby — frontline employees, supervisors, managers, and executives — this webinar is for you.
