Compliance Question of the Week

Question: How much testing is required for robbery procedures?

ANSWER: 

The agencies regulations require employees to know their responsibilities and conduct during and after a robbery, burglary or larceny.

When determining the level of testing required, consider the following:     

  • Is the bank in a higher crime area (e.g., when was the last robbery to the bank or a neighboring establishment)? ·   
  • Does the bank have new personnel or part time personnel that have not been through more than one training session?
  • How does the bank measure how well each employee knows the responsibilities and conduct required?
  • Does the bank provide training more than once if the procedures are revised?
