Financial Institutions

Difficult economic times tend to increase the incidence of bank robberies. Bank robberies are traumatic for those involved and sometimes lead to litigation. Security guards can be utilized to reduce the chances of a bank robbery occurring. FDIC regulations require that a bank’s policies and procedures include a written security program for each banking office. Regulations do not specifically require the presence of a security guard, but regulations do require that banks provide a safe and secure place of business for the preservation of the bank’s assets and the safety of the bank’s customers and employees. In many cases, that means that a security guard should be present.
