As part of our continued effort to support and collaborate with local businesses, the West Des Moines Police Department is pleased to announce Bank Robbery Response training.

This training will provide bank employees information regarding what to do before, during, and after a bank robbery.  It will also detail law enforcement response for these situations as well as their response to robbery alarms.  Finally, this training will emphasize the importance in understanding what information law enforcement officials will need for follow up investigations and prosecution.

This training will be offered virtually.  These sessions are scheduled for 1 hour, but the presentation is normally 30-45 minutes with time for questions.

These training sessions will be offered semi-annually.  

Date: Tuesday, November 19, 2024 - Time: 7:30-8:30 am - Location: Virtual via Microsoft Teams
