In these tough times.....it's going to get worse.

In this day and age i am suprised how many bank robberies their are.

I'm surprised there aren't more-- or even more stories of residential robberies. I wonder how bad it is in other states who's unemployment numbers are higher then NJ (and has a relatively close population density figure).

The TD/Commerce bank on the corner of Route 9 and Kennedy in Lakewood was robbed 3 times between the end of 2007 and 2008, as was the shell station on the corner and another business on that block.

Lakewood is not a nice town.

Lakewood, banks get robbed. (shrugs)

banks are EASY targets. the bad guys all know that every bank out there has a "Non-agression" policy when it comes to robberies. Standard Doctrine is "Cooperate and get them out" then worry about calling Police.

Not Chase!

Believe it or not that have a walk away policy.

Which means if you feel you are in no real danger just simply walk away and sound the silent alarm. My wife was a manager for years at another bank who Chase took over and when she heard this she looked at all the other employees in the bank and said if anyone does this and trips the alarm I will be the 1st to tell the robber that you did it so when a hostage situation breaks out they can take you.

Im surprised. When Howard bank was still in operation they were dumb enough to make a mention of it in one of the news stories that (and theis was before cell phones) corporate policy was to cooperate fully, then LOCK THE DOORS and not allow anyone out after the BG's left or make any calls for 15 minutes. IIRC Howard was hit in a dozen different municipalities over the next couple of months after that. One of which was while I was walking a foot post not a block away when the robbery went down.

Chase leaves it up the employees discretion to asses the situation.

I am all for capitalism but they take it to a new level they are complete scum to their employees.
