Banking and Financial services employees are a high security risk, including those in senior positions, working in branches or transit security guards. Over the years, there have been many attacks, sometimes fatal, to these groups of people. Reliance provides a range of devices, which enable these vulnerable employees to feel safe when travelling to and from work, business meetings, at home or anywhere they may be working alone.
Examples of high-risk employees:

• Banking/Business workers – bank raids, theft and kidnap are all high risk to this group of people, higher executives have been targeted in their own homes or on their way to and from work. These staff regularly carry valuable items such as mobile phones, pda’s, laptops and corporate cards which are desirable to potential thieves.
• High street banks and building societies – the major issue with bank raids is that it is not merely robbers taking the money – they are attacking and frightening both staff and customers.
• Insurance Representatives – required to visit customers’ homes often with news of failed insurance claims putting them at risk of verbal and physical abuse.
• Post office Workers – often working in less secure environments than banks and building societies, which can be located in remote village areas and targeted by gangs.
• Cash In Transit - guards who drive with cash in their vans are at high risk of robbery and hijackings. Often in unfamiliar industrial and domestic areas, a need for a device to allow them to raise an alarm and be located is essential.
• Security Guards - high risk of robbery and violence due to the nature of their job, working long hours alone throughout the night often in unfamiliar areas.
