Readers question:
I just wanted to ask a quick question, and with you being in the force for quite some time. For bank robberies, i'm sure you had experienced investigating it. My question is what type of investigative/operational plans can a bank robbery task force conduct as part of this tracking down bank robbers?
Answer:
Bank robbery is a federal crime is usually investigated by the FBI in cooperation with local authories. Larger cities have detectives specifically assigned to investigation major robberies, including banks. Here are a few resouces:

Summary: This guide addresses the problem of robbery of people using automated teller machines (ATMs) and night cash depositories. Robberies at night cash depositories, at which cash can only be deposited, not withdrawn, are sufficiently similar to ATM robberies to make most of the responses similar. Moreover, the surveys covered all ATM-related crimes, not just robbery, so the figures overstate robbery rates (see below for related crimes).

The Colorado Association of Robbery Investigators (CARI) was originally formed in 1971 as the Metro Denver Robbery Intelligence Group to promote better communications among metro area robbery details and began meeting monthly to exchange offense, pattern and suspect information. In 1988 the organization's name was changed to its current name in an effort to spread membership statewide.

Over the last 10 years there have been between seven to eight thousand bank robberies per year nationwide. Despite these apparent high numbers, the majority of bank employees will never have to go through a bank robbery. But, those unfortunate employees that do will find it to be a very traumatic experience.
