If staff leave under difficult or strange circumstances, it may be wise to change locks, safe combinations and even cash-handling procedures. Many robbery victims suffer physical and emotional problems. Emotional reactions last longer and are more likely to occur if the victim puts up a fight. While these problems usually fade with time, professional counselling by qualified post-holdup trauma counsellors should be considered. This has been found to decrease significantly the emotional harm caused by armed robbery.

Raise the alarm as soon as it is safe to do so, perhaps by activating an alarm during the robbery. Make sure you call the police before you call anyone else. Close the premises to the public and keep out unauthorised people. Isolate the area for later forensic examination, in particular fingerprints.
