Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design: Enhancing Safety and Security

Is that beautiful flowering tree obstructing sightlines to your entryway? How long has that lightbulb been burned out?

This session will explore practical, cost-effective changes you can make right away to improve your facility's safety and security. Topics include:
Addressing exterior security concerns, such as landscaping, lighting, location, and locks.
Identifying and correcting common building design flaws.
Understanding the importance of a comprehensive night inspection program.
Join us to learn how to create a safer, more secure environment for everyone.

Security Demystified
Delve into the essential responsibilities outlined in implementing regulations mandated by various regulators such as FRS, FDIC, OCC, and specific letters for Credit Unions. Gain insights into the often-overlooked aspect of your job description - "other duties as assigned" - and how it can expand your security responsibilities. Discover solutions to practical issues like camera placement, the necessity of monitors in break rooms, and the optimal timing for alarm activation during or after a bank robbery. Uncover the truth about commonly debated topics, such as the use of dummy cameras and the limited scope of time locks. Learn how, with experience, your role may evolve to include managing building access systems, ID badges, and the crucial aspect of building a relationship with law enforcement.
 
Focus Groups and Case Studies
Learn vital new skills and insights in educating your staff to report their gut feelings when something might be wrong. If you establish the proper framework, your staff will report what they feel is wrong. There are so many opportunities for the Security Manager to make inappropriate decisions, particularly during a crisis event. Making effective, critical decisions requires education, training, and experience – and it’s the experience part that is the most difficult to acquire. 

Working within the nation’s military services, in law enforcement, or in emergency management fields will provide that experience. Working in another industry won’t. This session will provide you with the insight you need to handle unusual situations.

Adapting to Emerging Technologies in Financial Institution Security
This interactive session delves into the challenges financial institutions face as they adopt new technologies, implement operational changes, and collaborate with law enforcement. You’ll gain insights into teller pods, cash recyclers, cash dispensing devices, and interactive teller machines (ITMs).

We’ll explore how these innovations introduce unique security concerns, from redesigning lobbies to updating operational protocols and revising security procedures. Join us to better understand these advancements and their impact on your institution’s safety and efficiency.

Conducting a Physical Security Review Assessment
This information will provide you with a recipe on how to conduct your annual security review. No longer can you just use a checklist to determine if your financial institution is safe. We will instruct you on how to think like a criminal to protect your assets, information, and people. Today, the criminal world attacks your institution via computer, accountholders, and social engineering ploys. Your annual review should find or correct problems with physical security, robbery procedures, and staff training.

Who Should Attend

Those just starting out will gain invaluable insights into the intricacies of your role. Seasoned professionals will benefit from a timely review of current security practices. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your expertise and ensure you're well-prepared for the challenges ahead. Join us for an engaging seminar that goes beyond the basics of security training!
