Bank Safety

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman and law enforcement officials from across the county urge the public to stay vigilant, especially when withdrawing and depositing money at banks and ATMs.

District Attorney Hochman, law enforcement officials and the banking community advise all members of the public to take the following precautions at banks and ATMs:

  • Be aware and vigilant of surroundings.
  • Trust your instincts: If something appears suspicious, leave the location or call 911.
  • Park in well-lit areas close to entrances or heavy foot traffic.
  • Lock your vehicle’s doors as soon as you enter it.
  • If being followed, call 911 or drive to the nearest police station.
  • Avoid carrying large bags, wearing expensive jewelry or displaying large amounts of cash.
  • Look out for common distraction tactics by strangers who approach to compliment attire or jewelry, return your “dropped cash” or inspect your vehicle for mechanical defects.

은행 안전 수칙

  • 주변 상황을 항상 인지하고 경계하십시오.
  • 휴대전화나 기타 기기에 집중하여 주의를 분산시키지 마십시오.
  • 직감을 믿으십시오: 수상한 상황이 보이면 즉시 그 장소를 떠나거나 911에 신고하십시오.
  • 출입구와 가깝거나 유동 인구가 많은, 밝은 곳에 주차하십시오.
  • 차량에 탑승하는 즉시 문을 잠그십시오.
  • 누군가가 따라오는 것 같으면 911에 신고하거나 가장 가까운 경찰서로 이동하십시오.
  • 다음 사항을 피하십시오:
    • 큰 가방을 소지하는 것
    • 고가의 귀금속 착용
    • 많은 현금을 드러내 보이는 것

  • 옷차림이나 귀금속을 칭찬하며 대화를 시도하는 사람
  • 차량에 타거나 내릴 때 접근하여 차량의 기계적 결함을 점검해 주겠다고 제안하는 사람
