Just Other Articles - Bank Robbery Prevention Starts On The Front Lines
Following a six-month crime spree in 1992, I was convicted of five armed bank robberies and served almost 8 years in Federal Prison. Now a Professional Speaker and Author, I share my past experienc According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product es with bankers to provide a look into the “mind of the enemy.” I would like to share that insight in connection with the escalating bank robbery problem in New York. Having recently read the comm ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in nts of Senator Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) calling for replacement F.B.I. Agents to stem robberies, as well as state legislators considering the installation of security devices and/or creating a “sepa lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. ate” bank robbery charge, I can attest that none of the above will deter a would-be robber. The best deterrent is a group of alert, informed bank employees and must start with senior management sup here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe ort. Having met and interviewed over three hundred convicted bank robbers (as well as once being in the business myself), I discovered some common threads that most bank robbers operate under. The d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro first being that all banks are “cased” to some extent- whether it be walking by several times to get a feel for the layout, handing a teller a ten dollar bill and asking for a roll of quarters, or s ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc itting down with a loan officer under the guise of being interested in a loan. Employees need to be keenly aware of their surroundings- suspicious activities, customers they do not recognize or any easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi hing out of the ordinary. Write down details and descriptions, greet unknown individuals with eye contact and engage them in conversation. No potential robber wants someone to get a good look at h nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically m or her. What appears to be good customer service can also be the best method of deterring a crime or recalling details that could ultimately lead to apprehension. In addition, a male presence pla and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ s a large role in deterring a potential robber. Why choose an institution where someone may challenge them? A bank robber will always take the path of least resistance- always! If hiring a guard ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi s cost prohibitive or not consistent with a “customer friendly” environment, make a conscious effort to hire more male tellers. At the very least, make a male presence felt on Fridays, when over 5 ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a 0% of all bank robberies take place. The majority of bank robbers, I would venture to say 90%, are strung out on drugs, have a gambling debt or are out of work and at the end of their rope. Combin dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod high unemployment with our country’s continuing preoccupation with drugs and the ease in which gambling can be accessed, we can only expect things to get worse before they get better. Bank robbery cts are meaningful and rational? Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin s here to stay. Adding additional F.B.I. Agents will help only in the areas of apprehension and recovery and since over 90% of all bank robbers are apprehended anyway, why should this be an area of tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen focus? Passing new and separate bank robbery charges will only add to our already overcrowded prisons, and the installation of security devices is a waste of money and only serves to alienate the l t? As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel gitimate customer. When I speak to banking and credit union groups and associations on “robber proofing” their institutions, I make it clear that high security devices and bullet proof glass are no ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality. Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust t the answer. The answer lies within those who are on the front lines-their employees. They and they alone have the power to send a would-be robber down the road to consider another institution, o y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products e that offers a path of less resistance.
