Bullet Proof Glass Protection

Description: Peoples Bank had three rural branches robbed, and they were concerned about the continued safety of their employees. One of Peoples Bank’s priorities was to increase protection both above and below the counter. This would require installing ballistic fiberglass behind the wood paneling to help protect any employees taking shelter below the countertop.

TSS retrofitted bank teller counters at two different branches with a Level 1 uncoated acrylic system, implementing stainless steel deal trays, package passers, and fiberglass behind the countertop from the waistline down. As a result, employees feel safer and experience less anxiety about additional robberies in the future. Any aesthetic concerns the client had were immediately alleviated—the systems blended with the surrounding aesthetics, continuing the open and welcoming atmosphere the bank’s customers were accustomed to.

"It looks very nice and blends in well. I was worried the customers would think we were blocking them out, but I was shocked at how well you can see and hear through the new teller windows. Everything fits together seamlessly. Most people just think it’s a nice Covid barrier." Mary Jane Pettit, People’s Bank Vice President and Marketing Communications.
