SECURING CASH IN TRANSIT: ONE YEAR ON FROM THE TIRANA HEIST

摘要

An airport perimeter has to be hardened as much as possible, and effective background checks need to be implemented, no matter what part of the world you are in. Very few organisations invest in proper background checking, and even fewer do systematic re-checking and employee behaviouralevaluations. A simple example would be baggage handlers in Colombia who are coerced into joining criminal gangs; a series of background checks can identify different vulnerabilities. In addition, proper cash transfer practices must be implemented, and every airport needs to have a standalone cash loading procedure, and to conduct associated exercises, much like emergency procedures.
