a) Responsibilities of Security Officers at 247BDIPSS

• The primary responsibility of 247BDIPSS security officers working at banks is to protect the money, assets, and customers of the bank. In addition, they also have the responsibility of protecting customers’ money from theft or robbery by assessing, observing, and preventing any suspicious individuals from entering the bank with criminal intentions. Moreover, special attention is required for monitoring safety deposit box areas. Security officers must closely monitor customers accessing the lockers.
• External security is just as important as internal security. Ensuring the safety of the bank’s surroundings is essential, and the external security force must make sure that external activities such as parking lots and ATM booths are closely controlled.

b) Working Principles at 247BDIPSS

• At 247BDIPSS, we always maintain confidentiality and do not disclose the bank’s secrets or personnel information.
• 247BDIPSS security officers are always polite to bank customers, but never overly intimate, which may lead to inappropriate behavior.

• For example, if a customer asks you to bring their vehicle outside, an inexperienced officer might refuse and even say harsh words, leading to a confrontation and damaging the bank’s reputation. In contrast, a professional security officer will quickly fulfill the customer’s request with a friendly smile, creating a good impression from such small gestures.
