Using CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) to Conduct Your Annual Security Review

Every credit union should conduct a comprehensive security review at least annually and more frequently if the institution's environment changes rapidly. Some of the environmental conditions include the introduction of a new product or service, a change in security regulations or laws and the acquisition of a previously owned facility, or an increase in crime events in the region.

The purpose of the security review is to identify conditions that may result in a loss or a legal action tomorrow or thirty years from now. The review simply targets a credit union's "loss potential" using a standardized, practical and cost-effective methodology for analyzing the condition and contributions of the security function. It is also used for identifying the credit union-wide "windows of opportunity" for loss from all sources. CPTED principals are extremely useful when applied to credit unions. These principals will be defined and discussed, and attendees will learn how to apply them to make their credit union more inviting to members, and less attractive to criminals.

Session Highlights:

• Examples of CPTED principals as applied to financial institutions

• How to conduct your physical security assessment

• How to properly use lighting for safety and security

• How to use landscaping to your advantage

Workplace Violence, Active Shooter & Robbery Prevention and Response

Do your employees know how to respond to an active shooter event? What areas of workplace violence is your institution most vulnerable? This session will examine workplace violence – its definition and the different types – and how to respond to them should they occur. Recent case studies will also be examined in an effort to extract “pre-incident indicators” and red flags that were present before the incident. Are there steps your credit union can take to make you less of a target for these situations? How should you handle angry members or coworkers? Are you at risk for a domestic violence incident? Learn what you need to know to protect your employees and credit union.

Robbery is one of the most feared crimes . . . period. Every financial institution – banks, credit unions and thrifts – must provide both initial and continuing robbery response training for ALL employees. It's not an option – it's required by all state and federal regulatory agencies. The credit union's Security Manager is responsible for developing and managing the credit union's Security Program and the Security Program must contain policies and procedures that address robberies. The number of robberies increases and decreases in every region of the country – it's a business cycle. However, the need for a standardized, comprehensive robbery training program must remain constant.

The primary purpose for learning about the specialized crime of robbery is that learning simple, effective robbery response techniques may save lives. This training process – coupled with the implementation of appropriate policies and procedures – allows and encourages managers and executives to make intelligent and informed decisions about supervising employees' actions during a robbery in progress.

Session Highlights:

• Determining Vulnerabilities

• Workplace Violence Case Studies

• Robbery Prevention Methods

• Robber Descriptions

• Active Shooter Response

• Domestic Violence Situations

• Robbery Response Plans

• Robbery Aftermath Considerations

• Workplace Violence Prevention
