APPENDIX A

MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR SECURITY DEVICES General.

(1) Surveillance systems—(1) Surveillance systems should be:

(A) Equipped with one or more photographic, recording, monitoring, or like devices capable of reproducing images of persons in the banking office with sufficient clarity to facilitate (through photographs capable of being enlarged to produce a 1-inch vertical head-size of persons whose images have been reproduced) the identification and apprehension of robbers or other suspicious persons;

(B) Reasonably silent in operation;

(C) So designed and constructed that necessary services, repairs, or inspections can readily be made.

Any camera used in such a system should be capable of taking at least one picture every 2 seconds and, if it uses film, should contain enough unexposed film at all times to be capable of operating for not less than 3 minutes, and the film should be at least 16 mm.

(ii) Installation, maintenance, and operation of surveillance systems providing surveillance of other than walkup or drive-in teller's stations or windows. Surveillance devices for other than walkup or drive-in windows should be:

(A) Located so as to reproduce identifiable images of persons either leaving the banking office or in a position to transact business at each such station or window; and

(B) Capable of activation by initiating devices located at each teller's station.

(iii) Installation, maintenance, and operation of surveillance systems providing surveillance of walkup or drive-in teller's stations or windows. Surveillance devices for walkup and drive-in teller's stations or windows should be located in such a manner as to reproduce identifiable images of persons in a position to transact business at each such station or window and areas of such station or window that are vulnerable to robbery or larceny. Such devices should be capable of activation by one or more initiating devices located within or in close proximity to such station or window. Such devices could be omitted in the case of walkup or drive-in teller's station or window in which the teller is effectively protected by a bulletresistant barrier from persons outside the station or window, but if the teller is vurnerable to larceny or robbery by members of the public who enter the banking office, the teller should have access to a device to activate a surveillance system that covers the area of vulnerability or the exits to the banking office.

(2) Robbery alarm systems. A robbery alarm should be provided for each banking office at which the police ordinarily can arrive within 5 minutes after an alarm is activated. Robbery alarm systems should be:

(1) Designed to transmit to the police, either directly or through an intermediary, a signal (not detectable by unauthorized persons) indicating that a crime against the banking office has occurred or is in progress;

(ii) Capable of activation by initiating devices located at each teller's station (except walkup or drive-in teller's stations or windows in which the teller is effectively protected by a bullet-resistant barrier and effectively isolated from persons, other than fellow employees, inside a banking office of which such station or window may be a part);

(iii) Safeguarded against accidental transmission of an alarm;

(iv) Equipped with a visual and audible signal capable of indicating improper functioning of or tampering with the system; and

(v) Equipped with an independent source of power (such as a battery) sufficient to assure continuously reliable operation of the system for at least 24 hours in the event of failure of the usual source of power.

(3) Burglar alarm systems. Burglar alarm systems should be:

(1) Capable of detecting promptly an attack on the outer door, walls, floor, or ceiling of each vault, and each safe not stored in a vault, in which currency, negotiable securities, or similar valuables are stored when the office is closed, and any attempt to move any such safe;

(ii) Designed to transmit to the police, either directly or through an intermediary, a signal (not detectable by unauthorized persons) indicating that any such attempt is in progress; and in the case of a banking office at which the police ordinarily cannot arrive within 5 minutes after an alarm is activated, designed to activate a loud sounding bell or other device that is audible inside the banking office and for a distance of approximately 500 feet outside the banking office;

(iii) Safeguarded against accidental transmission of an alarm;

(iv) Equipped with a visual and audible signal, capable of indicating improper functioning of or tampering with the system; and

(v) Equipped with an independent source of power (such as a battery) sufficient to assure continuously reliable operation of the system for at least 80 hours in the event of failure of the usual source of power.

(4) Walkup and drive-in teller's stations or windows. Walkup and drive-in teller's stations or windows contracted for after February 15, 1969, should be constructed in such a manner that tellers are effectively protected by bullet-resistant barriers from robbery or larceny by persons outside such stations or windows. Such barriers should be of glass at least 116 inches thick,1 or of material of at least equivalent bullet-resistance. Pass-through devices should be designed and constructed as not to afford a person outside the station a direct line of fire at a person inside the station.

It should be emphasized that this thickness is merely bullet-resistant and not bulletproof.

(5) Vaults, safes, and night depositories. Vaults and safes (if not to be stored in a vault) in which currency, negotiable securities, or similar valuables are to be stored when the office is closed, and night depositories, contracted for after February 15, 1969, should meet or exceed the following standards:

(A) Vaults. Vault walls, roof and floor contracted for after February 15, 1969, should be made of steel-reinforced concrete, at least 18 inches thick; vault doors should be made of steel or other drill- and torch-resistant material, at least 31⁄2 inches thick, and be equipped with a dial combination lock and a time lock and a substantial, lockable daygate; or vaults and vault doors should be constructed of materials that afford at least equivalent burglary-resistance.

(B) Safes. Safes contracted for after February 15, 1969, should weigh at least 750 pounds empty, or be securely anchored to the premises where located. The door should be equipped with a combination lock, and with a relocking device that will effectively lock the door if the combination lock is punched. The body should consist of steel, at least 1 inch in thickness, with an ultimate tensile strength of 50,000 pounds per square inch, either cast or fabricated, and be fastened in a manner equal to a continuous 4-inch penetration weld having an ultimate tensile strength of 50,000 pounds per square inch. One hole not exceeding 316-inch diameter may be provided in the body to permit insertion of electrical conductors, but should be located so as not to permit a direct view of the door or locking mechanism. The door should be made of steel that is at least 11⁄2 inches thick, and at least equivalent in strength to that specified for the body; or safes should be constructed of materials that afford at least equivalent burglary-resistance.

(C) Night depositories. Night depositories (excluding envelope drops not used to receive substantial amounts of currency) contracted for after February 15, 1969, should consist of a receptacle chest having cast, or welded, steel walls, top and bottom, at least 1 inch thick; a combination locked steel door at least 11⁄2 inches thick; and a chute, made of steel that is at least 1 inch thick, securely bolted or welded to the receptacle and to a depository entrance of strength similar to the chute; or night depositories should be constructed of materials that afford at least equivalent burglary-resistance. The depository entrance should be equipped with a lock. Night depositories should be equipped with a burglary alarm and be designed to protect against the "fishing" of a deposit from the deposit receptacle, and to protect against the "trapping" of a deposit for extraction.

Each device mentioned in this Appendix should be installed and regularly inspected, tested, and serviced by competent persons, so as to assure realization of its maximum performance capabilities. Activating devices

for surveillance systems and robbery alarms should be operable with the least risk of detection by unauthorized persons that can be practicably achieved.

APPENDIX B

PROPER EMPLOYEE CONDUCT DURING AND AFTER A ROBBERY

With respect to proper employee conduct during and after a robbery, employees should be instructed:

(1) To avoid actions that might increase danger to themselves or others;

(2) To activate the robbery alarm system and the surveillance system during the robbery, if it appears that such activation can be accomplished safely;

(3) To observe the robber's physical features, voice, accent, mannerisms, dress, the kind of weapon he has, and any other characteristics that would be useful for identification purposes;

(4) That if the robber leaves evidence (such as a note) try to put it aside and out of sight, if it appears that this can be done safely; retain the evidence, do not handle it unnecessarily, and give it to the police when they arrive; and refrain from touching, and assist in preventing others from touching, articles or places the robber may have touched or evidence he may have left, in

order that fingerprints of the robber may be obtained;

(5) To give the robber no more money than the amount he demands, and include "bait" money in the amount given;

(6) That if it can be done safely, observe the direction of the robber's escape and the description and license plate number of the vehicle used, if any;

(7) To telephone the local police, if they have not arrived, and the nearest office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or inform a designated officer or other employee who has this responsibility, that a robbery has been committed;

(8) That if the robber leaves before the police arrive, assure that a designated officer or other employee waits outside the office, if it is safe to do so, to inform the police when they arrive that the robber has left;

(9) To attempt to determine the names and addresses of other persons who witnessed the robbery or the escape, and request them to record their observations or to assist a designated officer or other employee in so doing;

(10) To refrain from discussing the details of the robbery with others before recording the observations respecting the robber's physical features and other characteristics as hereinabove described and the direction of escape and description of vehicle used, if any.
