What should you do after a robbery?

• A. Call a friend for help
• B. Activate the silent alarm; alert store leader and pharmacy district leader; provide information/video request to the police
• C. Close the store for the rest of the day
• D. Publish a social media post about the incident

Answer: (B)

After a robbery, safety comes first, and the next step is to quickly connect the right people so help and coordination can happen without delaying law enforcement. Activating the silent alarm alerts police immediately while keeping staff and customers as safe as possible, and it does so without drawing attention to the situation if that would escalate danger. Notifying the store leader and the pharmacy district leader ensures the company’s incident response plan kicks in, so there’s a clear chain of command, resources can be mobilized, and appropriate communications with corporate teams happen promptly. Providing information to the police, including video requests, helps investigators reconstruct the sequence of events and identify suspects, which supports a faster, more effective response and potential resolution. Other actions pull focus away from safety and the official response. Reaching out to a friend for help doesn’t mobilize trained responders or preserve the incident’s details for investigators. Closing the store for the rest of the day isn’t a standard, immediate procedure and can disrupt operations unnecessarily. Posting about the incident on social media can reveal sensitive information and hinder the investigation or violate privacy policies.
