Bank robberies are rarely as glamourous as they look in Hollywood blockbusters like "The Town" or "The Dark Knight".  In fact, often times there aren't masked crusaders weilding guns or thug like giants at all.  In fact, bank robbers are typically the bank's own employees.  Who knows the layout of the bank, the codes to the safes, and where the security cameras are located better than an employee?  As someone working in security careers, it's your job to help not let this crime go committed. 

 

According to ABC News, "In 2011, there were more than 5,500 reports of suspected embezzlement at banks. Of those cases, approximately 580 were investigated, and of those investigations, 429 cases, or 8 percent, ended with convictions, according to FBI data."  They also write that the reason most of these cases go unreported is because the banks won't look into anything less that $10,000.

 

What would you do to prevent this from happening?

When you're looking to go into security careers, you will have to undergo an interview.  When you do, there are types of questions that are more likely to be asked in your interview than in any other interview for any other career.  These specific questions are not challenging, but knowing them ahead of time means you're more likely to form an educated opinion and properly word your thoughts together. 

 

The first type of quesiton they will ask is the generic interview questions regarding education and prior work experience.  These are just to have you elaborate on the points you put on your resume.

 

The probing questions are in essence to find out what makes you "tick".  These questions are truly designed to find out why you want a career in law enforcement.  While there is no right or wrong answer, truly honest and original answers can only help you.  The questions may be something like:

  • Why do you want to become a police officer?
  • What responsibilities have you had in the past?
  • What are some weaknesses you need to work on

 

Finally, they may ask you hypothetical questions to see how you'd respond to a certain situation.  These answers have to usually do with their code of conduct so you may want to read up on that.  Some types of these questions are:

  • How would you respond in a hostage situation?
  • How would you respond if a suspect offered a lot of money for you to "forget" something?
  • How would you respond if you saw a fellow officer engaged in inappropriate conduct?

 

What do you think of these quesitons?

Auto correct can help with spelling, send messages quicker, and save time.  It can also cause a frenzy when it picks the wrong word.  One student at Lanier Technical College accidently caused his school to go into lockdown when he mistyped a word.  Instead of writing "gunna be at west hall today" he wrote "gunman be at west hall today."  The friend, who was unaware this was simply a typo, notified security guards who shut down the campus.  They then tracked down the sender and, upon realizing this was simply an auto correct error, lifted the ban.  The whole scenario lasted just a few hours. 

 

Do you think the campus security was right to enforce these measures or do you think it was a little out of hand?
