Are you your institution's Security Officer? If you are, your primary duty is to develop and administer a written Security Program for your institution. "Security" isn't just about alarms, robbery procedures and filing Suspicious Activity Reports any longer. "Security" has become the term that defines the evolutionary process that provides a safe and secure environment for our employees to work -- and for our customers to do business.

"Security" has evolved rapidly from a minimal function into the "Security Department" -- a business unit -- and the Security Officer is often assigned the responsibility for managing the relationships among the five (5) most common, industry-standard areas of exposure, including:

• Employees and other institution-affiliated parties;
• Customers and other persons likely to be on the premises, including vendors;
• Facilities that you own or control;
• Assets that are tangible and intangible; and
• Records from internal and external sources.

Security regulations are currently different for each of the three (3) categories of financial institutions: banks, credit unions and thrifts. This presentation reflects the emerging industry-standard viewpoint that all financial institutions should use both the Bank Protection Act and Regulation H as models for a contemporary Security Program -- in addition to existing regulations for credit unions and thrifts. Both the Bank Protection Act and Regulation H give the Security Officer the duty and the authority to act -- but they don't tell the whole story.

Among the topics to be presented are:

• The evolution and rationale for having security regulations
• Defining the persons responsible for compliance within the institution and describing the penalties for non-compliance
• Defining and explaining the Security Program that must include robbery, burglary and larceny provisions
• Defining and describing appropriate security devices
• Standardizing robbery planning, implementation and training procedures
• Defining and describing internal and external reports
• Developing and implementing a security training program
• Suspicious Activity Reporting and filing SARs
• Describing the required annual review process

Who Should Attend:
Security officers, auditors, compliance officers, risk managers, human resource managers, operations managers & executives -- and board members.
