As part of our continued effort to support and collaborate with local businesses, the West Des Moines Police Department is pleased to announce Bank Robbery Response training.

This training will provide bank employees information regarding what to do before, during, and after a bank robbery.  It will also detail law enforcement response for these situations as well as their response to robbery alarms.  Finally, this training will emphasize the importance in understanding what information law enforcement officials will need for follow up investigations and prosecution.

This training will be offered virtually.  These sessions are scheduled for 1 hour, but the presentation is normally 30-45 minutes with time for questions.

These training sessions will be offered semi-annually.  

Date: Tuesday, April 22, 2025 - Time: 7:30-8:30 am - Location: Virtual via Microsoft Teams

Due to a technical issue with the previous Bookings form, the below form will be used to register for the training. When your registration is confirmed, you will receive an email with the meeting link from Officer Dexter.

There will be no class size limitations for the virtual session.  The deadline to register is Friday November 15, 2024. After the registration deadline has passed, a web link will be sent to the virtual participants for this training.  We ask that all participants register for the session they will be attending.
