Credit Union Robbery Prevention: Best Practices for Prevention and Employee Safety

 

Robbery prevention is a necessity and a priority for every credit union office.

The robbery of a credit union is an extremely traumatic event. It doesn’t matter if the robbery is by passing a note (note passer) or a more violent robbery like a “take-over” or “morning glory” robbery, it deeply affects employees, customers present at the scene, and even those who were not. Robberies of financial services offices such as credit unions are also not going to stop. In some areas of the country these robberies have actually increased. The aftermath of such a robbery includes uneasiness, anxiety, and fear, most particularly in employees and those customers who may have been at the credit union at the time of the robbery. A robbery event can also result in litigation and lost work time for employees, worse if there were injuries or death – a robbery can add expense and create other losses, both tangible and intangible.
