DETERRENTS Deterrents play an important role in helping to
prevent a robbery. Criminals are opportunistic. The easier a target
appears to a criminal, the more like they are to exploit it.
On the other hand, the more deterrents in place, the less likelihood of crime occurring.
Cooperation with law enforcement officials is key to preparing employees and management to deal with an armed robber.

REMAIN CALM!
Stay calm and in control (panicking will only upset the robber and unnecessarily brings passers-by into the
situation).
![Page 14: Risk Management- Armed Robbery](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1c31e1a28ab505a8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TIPS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT
Take deep breaths and remain calm
Don’t focus on the weapon. Focus on the perpetrator and the sequence of events.
Try to be a good witness, so you can give the police as much information as possible.
![Page 15: Risk Management- Armed Robbery](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f1c31e1a28ab505a8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ALWAYS COOPERATE
•The typical robber just wants your money and a quick getaway. (The average robbery takes two and a half minutes)
•Robbers show a weapon to force compliance, not usually to do harm.
•Cooperate fully and tell the robber that you intend to obey.

USING THE DURESS ALARM
Activate the alarm only as a
last option during a robbery.
Trying to hit the alarm may give
the robber a reason to harm you or others.
Activate the alarm if you are in
immediate danger and the
device is close to you.
