| Abstract |
This article presents the approach adopted by a bank to prevent armed robberies. The first step consisted of auditing and benchmarking the existing prevention system in comparison with those adopted by other banks. Next, the conclusions of this first step were presented to senior management, along with 50-odd proposals, including the designation of a safety coordinator, systematic automation of operations, subcontracting the handling of cash, and in particular the feeding of ATMs, ensuring a constant level of visible human activity in branch offices, training of personnel and developing their awareness. Prospects for the future safety of bank branch offices and technological developments in this field are also discussed. |
