All bank personnel are just as responsible for maintaining the institution's Security Program as is the Security Officer and the role is a simple, but critical, one. This course discusses options – not absolutes – for handling robberies and related offenses. Having options or a "menu" of available choices – and knowing what those options are and how to use them – is important to the safety of all bank employees and customers. The more options available means one can be more flexible and versatile when responding to emergency events. This course is intended for all bank personnel.
