But in my Warm Body detex training we were all told "best thing is mix up rounds a bit" for obvious reasons.
Is that because AC clients demand service at a certain time so they only have a spike of risk they can plan for?
Or is it just laziness and penny-pinching (pun intended) on part of AC company?
Does AC company rely on a set timed route to know their AC hasn't been knocked off? "Jeb at the S&L called, says boys are 20min late, go see if someone killed them, since they haven't reported being robbed, and start checking all the titty bars in 20mile radius".
Last but not least, "thinking outside the armored box", instead of two guys in one armored car with cash, how about one guy in the AC with the cash, and one guy shadowing him in an unmarked car. The 2nd guy would be equipped with assault rifles, etc to totally "go to war" with any robbers, including disabling any of their get away cars. Backup Car would never be in same position at any given drop, and would sometimes go ahead, sometimes behind, etc. BC would be a random collection of used minivans, and swapped around diff AC routes. They would also be parked at diff secret location and pickup AC soon after AC leaves main base.
I never understood what great tactical advantage is gained by having two guys in one truck. I guess it sorta helps if one guy is in secure driver's box diff from Cash Box.
How about if Main Cash Box has separate Strong Box for each drop, and combos are set(collection of combo pad locks that are put on random Strong Boxes at base) at start of run. When AC arrives Client texts combo to AC for ONLY Client's box. Strong Boxes wouldn't need to be that strong to make robber unworkable due to time factor. Even if robbers got full set of combos, figure there will be 20+ diff locks per AC, and maybe 100 diff locks per Home Base.
Plan F: Remember those "secret shopper" ads? IMO they were all phony and crafted to make retail employees THINK every other shopper was a snitch. IIRC, this seemed to peak right about same time OnLine shopping was taking off and the term "Brick and Mortar" happened.
Anyway, how about a bunch of Help Wanted Ads for extra armored car Shadow Force guys? And maybe hire a couple just so local news or whatever can do a story on it. Even a 5-20% chance that there is an extra heavily armed escort you (as a robber) don't know about would be deterrent.
Just for kicks, tell the Shadow Force guys they might not be only Force assigned, because sometimes on major pickup there be double, so if they see something just keep eye on them but don't start shooting, to prevent guys from planning inside jobs. Each Operator would be assigned his own generic used minivan, which he'd take home and otherwise use, so other Operators wouldn't know if another Operator was on site.
F.U.D.
I talked to a guy who was trailing regular semi-trucks for a regular cheap Dept Store. He was just supposed to make sure they didn't make any other stops, or carry passengers, etc. More internal than external security. Sounds like that, even the passenger bit, could be done MUCH cheaper via Big Brother type devices.
