To me it sounds like your company has some skeletons in the closet
No.
From what you said earlier, you have several employees (including YOURSELF) who would NOT pass a criminal background check.
I think you may be living in the US.
The guard at my local bank has a gun in a holster, in BC. He works for Brinks but sits there in the bank all day.I think you may be living in the US.
Bank guards don't carry guns. Only mace and a radio. They are contracted out by the bank from private security companies.
There are no armed response patrol for the alarm companies. Only in the US.
The guys who fill bank machines ARE in armoured cars. How do you think they get around? They DO carry guns, yet most are still using .38 revolvers?
There are no private police forces at UBC or anywhere else in BC. UBC is patrolled by the RCMP. Police forces are regulated by the provincial government and, in the case of the RCMP by the federal government.
Not sure where you're getting your sources from or if indeed you live in the US, but your facts are erroneous.
Seriously?!? No armoured car? Talk about cut-rate. How would they get insurance coverage against robbery if they're not using armoured cars? Maybe they weren't the guys filling the ATMs, maybe they were the guys who take the deposit envelopes out from the ATMs? I can imagine the security requirements being somewhat lower for that than for the guys who are literally carrying bags of cash.They walked in and out with a briefcase and they had guns, they weren't exactly flashing the cash around so who knows?
Adding security features to the main office, depending on how extensive those security measures are, may seem somewhat paranoid, but unlike your ridiculous "no employees who own guns" idea, it's perfectly workable, and actually has a reasonable chance of reducing the possibility of violence in the workplace. How about the suggestion which I've already made a couple of times in this thread: give your managers and team leaders training to recognize and address the warning signs of potential violence.
Ah, they had a briefcase. It may not seem like it, but that right there is the explanation for why they had guns but weren't driving around in an armoured car. Pretty much the only time you'll ever see somebody going into an ATM room with a briefcase is when one of the machines needs servicing of some sort (dispenser jam, deposit jam, or just plain broken down). The briefcase will contain various tools (screwdrivers and stuff), as well as various small, common replacement parts. Now, most of the time, ATM servicing is done by a standard technician who doesn't have a gun, and is employed by the service company. After hours, however, the servicing is done by employees of the armoured car company (usually Brinks or Securicor) who also have training as technicians. These guys are technically armoured car guards, and so they carry guns. Since they're not actually taking anything of value to or from the ATMs, however, they don't actually have to travel by armoured car, so they would use a regular vehicle.

And that's probably more info than you cared to know.
we had an incident in one of the US shop where a employee showed up with a gun and employees were injured. Company got sued for not providing a safe work environment.To me it sounds like your company has some skeletons in the closet
from the past and the paranoia overfloweth.
This wouldn't be an American based company...........would it?
Try hiring people who don't have any fingers or that are blind.
That should prevent them from using guns.
And while you're at it check them out to see if they have any
background to Hamas or Al Quaeda.
