AUSTIN, TX—Michael A. Clancy, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the
San Antonio Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and
regional law enforcement announce the implementation of a new regional
crime reduction venture, the Bandit Shield Initiative.
The Bandit Shield Initiative was developed to reduce bank robberies
and to assist local, state, and federal law enforcement with their
robbery investigations. Financial institutions participating in the
Bandit Shield Initiative have agreed to implement a variety of “best
practices” and other security measures developed to deter robberies in
an effort to assist law enforcement. Additionally, participating
financial institutions have undertaken other innovative steps as part of
this initiative to make their institutions unattractive targets for
would-be robbers. Banking institutions in compliance with the Bandit
Shield Initiative will be provided with Bandit Shield decals to be
affixed to the institution’s doors. Initially, the Bandit Shield
Initiative will be implemented in FBI San Antonio’s designated area of
responsibility, which includes the Austin area, and it will be
considered for broader participation at a later time.
