WOMEN AT RISK - BANKER SAFETY

Banker

Banks and credit unions are made up of about 66% women employees. There are bank tellers, human resources, upper management, and a multitude of other professional positions within banks and credit unions held by women. One of the positions within the bank that seems to be extremely vulnerable is the bank teller. With the number of bank robberies increasing, even in small towns, bank employees need to be constantly aware and on alert to anything unusual or potential dangerous mannerisms of those entering the bank and notice.

Granted, a bank employee does not want to pull out a Taser C2 or pepper spray while someone has a gun pointed at them. But it is equally important that employees of the bank or credit union have specific self-defense awareness training and know what to do in these situations and how to protect themselves and those around them.

Due to the nature of the premises and location of a bank or credit union, this can create an opportunity for criminals who are desperate for cash. Keep in mind when you depart from a bank or credit union, the criminal may think you are carrying cash on your person. For those desperate criminals, $20 may seem like a lot of money.

Be Aware and Be Prepared!

As you leave the bank premises, always be aware of your surroundings. Notice the people you pass and those who may be loitering in the parking lot near your car. Be prepared with your pepper spray in your hand or at least where you can get immediate access to it. Keep a personal alarm and/or pepper spray attached to your car keys. As you walk to your car carry yourself with a confident demeanor. Let those with criminal intentions know that you are not going to be a victim so they may as well look elsewhere.

As part of your personal safety plan, take a self-defense or safety awareness training. The confidence and self-empowerment you develop can help protect and save your life in a violent attack. Also be fully prepared to respond with your pepper spray, mace spray, stun gun or Taser C2 if attacked.
