Service Details of Bank Security
Banks have more security threats today than they did in the days of train robberies in the Wild West. With that in mind, they must now take different measures to combat and discourage robberies. Those listed below are common security measures many banks have adopted in order to do just that.
• Building high teller counters with barriers. (These barriers prevent robbers from jumping over the counters.)
• Utilizing surveillance cameras inside the bank and out to record possible robbers and in the hopes of identifying them. (Since most people setting out to rob banks do so in the hopes of getting away with it, they are likely to skip banks with active surveillance.)
• Placing GPS tracking devices in money bags. (GPS tracking devices allows the banks to track the progress of the money once it leaves the banks and has allowed law enforcement to track the money and the thieves.)
• Engaging cash dispensing units for dispensing money. (Banks that use CDUs limit the amount that can be stolen in a robbery by reducing the amount of money tellers can dispense and forcing them to leave their stations to do so.)
