Ten bank robberies in less than a month but only two suspects in cuffs.
Compare that to 2008 when there were 14 bank robberies in Tulsa.
For bank employees it can be unnerving.
Fox 23’s Abbie Alford spoke with an intelligence company and got an inside look about training and knowing what to do if a robber walks in the door.
Police say as the employee at Tuesday's IBC bank robbery on 42nd and Garnett walked to the door to unlock it the robber put a gun to her head and forced himself inside.
Police say the robber then jumped over the counter and forced that employee and her co-worker who was already inside to open the vault.
No one was hurt but one wrong moved could have turned deadly.
That’s why some banks are taking steps to make sure employees know how to keep their cool during a stick-up.
Bank robbers come in all different types. Some are dressed like a typical customer others are clad in a wig, mask or even wearing three lights beaming from their head.
Former bank teller Alecia Scoggins-Cartwright says no matter the situation it’s about staying calm.
"It's always a shock. You always want to do what the robber tells you to do. You're life isn't worth risking the money," says Scoggins-Cartwright.
Tulsa police officer and Citadel Intelligence owner Greg Douglass trains bank employees.
He says in the last four years none of the banks where Douglass has trained has been robbed.
"The mission of my program is simply to save lives," says Douglass.
Douglass was the first officer on the scene when First Fidelity bank teller Amber Rogers was gunned down in 2004.
The bank president and a customer were also shot.
So he wants customers to be alert too.
"Hands up, eyes downcast because if they are scanning and looking for problems we don't want the gun pointed at us," says Douglass. "We don't want to present ourselves as maybe we are reaching for cell phones or we are going to cause problems."
Douglass says robbers usually want to know how the bank is secured before the heist.
"Most all banks are cased before they are ever robbed," says Douglass.
