Bank Protection Act compliance
12 CFR 21 / 208.61 annual attestation requires a written program, designated officer, and drill cadence. Our officers hold the documentation on behalf of the institution.
Banks & Financial Institutions
Bank & credit-union
security with
a regulator's eye.
Community banks, credit unions, commercial lenders, and specialty financial institutions across Tennessee. Our financial officers understand the Bank Protection Act, the regulator's examination cycle, and what a real robbery-response drill looks like — not the one you ran on paper last year.

01 / The Real Problem
What actually
goes wrong.
Every sector has its own failure modes — the incidents that repeat, the complaints that show up on every RFP. Here’s what we’ve learned watching financial sites across Tennessee since 1998.
Robbery-response preparedness
Tellers rarely see a robbery in a career — and when they do, muscle memory decides the outcome. Our monthly drills build that memory without alarm fatigue.
After-hours cash operations
ATM servicing, night-drop, and cash-in-transit hand-offs happen when the branch is quietest. Officer presence during those windows stops opportunistic and insider loss.
Branch-visit aggression
Disgruntled customers, repossessed-vehicle disputes, and garnishment service all happen in the branch. Officer-run de-escalation keeps staff safe without escalating the dispute.
02 / What We Deploy
Six financial-specific
disciplines.
Generic guard companies offer the same six SKUs to every sector. We deploy financial-tuned services with training, SOPs, and post-orders built for the environment.
F·01
Branch officers (opening/closing)
Dedicated officer for lobby opening, vault opening procedures, closing vault procedures, and alarm-set verification. Fixed morning and evening windows.
F·02
Lobby officers (full-day)
Full-operating-hours lobby officer for high-traffic branches, main HQ lobbies, and merger-acquisition transition periods.
F·03
Cash & ATM-servicing escort
Armed escort for scheduled cash-in-transit, ATM replenishment, night-drop retrieval, and inter-branch cash movement.
F·04
Robbery-response drills
Monthly scripted drills with tellers, officer-led debrief, and quarterly written report to the branch BPA officer.
F·05
Executive & board-meeting coverage
Armed presence for high-risk board meetings, customer-appreciation events, annual-meeting votes, and executive-residence details.
F·06
Vault & after-hours coverage
Overnight presence during extended cash operations, vault-access emergencies, and planned vault-team maintenance windows.
03 / Compliance & Credentials
Paperwork that
passes audit.
Your contracts, certifications, and compliance obligations become ours. Here are the industry-specific credentials every financial officer carries before first shift.
12 CFR 21
BPA-aligned SOPs
Post orders align with Bank Protection Act 12 CFR 21 (OCC) / 208.61 (Fed) security program requirements — written plan, drills, officer training records.
FDIC
FDIC examination ready
Officer logs, incident reports, and program documentation retained to FDIC examination standards with point-in-time attestation available.
NCUA
NCUA §748 Appendix A
For credit unions: security-program elements mapped to NCUA Rules & Regulations §748 Appendix A robbery and physical-security requirements.
FFIEC
FFIEC physical security
Post-order structure aligned to FFIEC Information Security examination handbook physical-security sections.

08:52Incident · 01
Community bank branch, Franklin
Scheduled morning opening. Officer conducts exterior check, verifies no forced entry or surveillance signs, accompanies manager through alarm-deactivation, observes vault-opening dual-control, remains at lobby through branch-ready verification. Opening completed in 18 minutes with all steps logged for BPA evidence binder.
13:44Incident · 02
Credit union, Hamilton County
Agitated member at teller window over account closure. Officer engages from lobby-stance with CPI verbal framework, steps beside teller desk without blocking member, de-escalates over six minutes, walks member to assistant-manager's office with privacy. No alarm activation, no police call, no post-event review required.
19:30Incident · 03
Branch HQ, downtown
Scheduled after-hours cash-in-transit pickup. Two officers meet armoured-car crew at service entrance, verify crew credentials against schedule, observe loading, confirm seal numbers, sign off on manifest. Total time in service-entry window: 11 minutes. Seals cross-referenced next morning; no discrepancies in four years of running this schedule.
05 / Frequently Asked
Financial questions,
answered.
The questions we’re asked most on financial RFPs, site walks, and scope-of-work calls — answered directly.
Q · 01Do you understand Bank Protection Act requirements?
Yes. Our financial-institution program is built around 12 CFR 21 (OCC) and 12 CFR 208.61 (Federal Reserve) BPA requirements — written security program, designated security officer support, minimum drill cadence, training records, and examiner-ready documentation. The same framework maps to NCUA §748 Appendix A for credit unions.
Q · 02Can your officers conduct robbery-response training for our tellers?
Yes. Monthly scripted drills with tellers, officer-led debriefs, and quarterly written drill reports to the branch's BPA officer. Training covers observation-during-incident, alarm activation timing, and compliance-officer notification sequence. Drill evidence retained for examination cycles.
Q · 03Will your officers coordinate with our armoured-car provider?
Yes. We coordinate scheduled pickups with Loomis, Brinks, GardaWorld, and regional carriers — verifying crew credentials, observing loading, documenting seal numbers, and signing off on manifests. Unscheduled arrivals are refused until the carrier's dispatch confirms the schedule change through our dispatch.
