Alert buttons to tackle bank robbers
Robbing of banks and other financial institutions are periodically occurring. Robbers in helmets and masks enter such premises in gangs armed with firearms. Sentries and staff become helpless. This has to be stopped and I suggest the following.
That is, alert buttons should be placed on the floor under each counter. When the staff sense that the robbers have raided, the buttons should be pressed by their foot. Latest technology should be added for this purpose. (Because no other physical movements could be done in front of the pistol carrying gang).
The alarms should be fixed in whatever the premises on either side of the institutions with mutual consent. The occupants of such premises should activate themselves accordingly to whatever appropriate prior instructions are given to them. In this regard better obtaining the advice of the area police station too. However, care should be taken to prevent the button getting pressed by mistake to avert inconveniences to such ‘helpers’.
