Police will discuss “a variety of critical scenarios, from medical emergencies to robberies, based upon the industry’s best practices and latest standards,” the chiefs said.
There will be a “vivid” PowerPoint Presentation and open discussion about many of those situations, including:
- fraud/identity scams;
- bad checks;
- false panic alarms;
- false burglar or robbery alarms;
- medical emergencies;
- actual bank robberies.
“Given the fluctuating turnover rate of staff in the industry, a periodic review of critical scenarios is imperative, reinforcing the proper handling of these circumstances by new employees, as well as seasoned employees,” the release says.
“This program hopes to combat complacency and proffer sound, reasonable responses to a whole host of fluid situations.”
