“This will blow your mind and open your eyes to vulnerabilities that you may not know you have. Carol Dodgen is so at ease and comfortable with a topic that is frightening to some.  She is knowledgeable and thorough.” Karen Bitler, VP, BSA, ISO, Compliance, Risk & Bank Security Officer – The Piedmont Bank

“Carol has been a great partner in helping us think about and take steps to prevent workplace violence in our organization.  Carol’s reputation in the industry is well deserved.” Troy Ogden, Vice President & Corporate Safety Director – Brasfield & Gorrie

“Dodgen Security consistently provides a quality of service that ensures our ATM and Night Depository locations are properly inspected.  In addition, they take time to explain their reports and are quick to respond and answer any questions we may have.  They are always on the look out for a potential hazard or liability that can often escape the eye of an employee who works at the location daily.  This is service beyond the contract.” – Michael S. Lann, Corporate Security Officer, VP – Renasant Bank

“We have received nothing but positive feedback from your presentation. The City of Opelika truly appreciates your training. Personally, as a former LEO and someone who has been a Field Training Officer as well as one who provides various training as a Human Resources Officer, I appreciate training that engages and you certainly provide just that. I have also attended over 1,000 hours of advanced officer training, thus, I have seen some (amateurish “professional” trainers); thankfully, we have found one of the good ones!”
– Billy Goldsborough, Human Resources Analyst – City of Opelika

“As Director of Security for Compass Bank, I used Dodgen Security for several large security projects. Dodgen Security handled our branch/ATM security site surveys at all our offices throughout our 7 state network. Their reports were accurate, concise and very useful in analyzing our branch security risk and ensuring we were in compliance. We also used Dodgen Security to conduct security “Red Team” tests at our critical and corporate offices to ensure that our security operations were meeting our expectations. I would highly recommend Dodgen Security for your security training, ATM lighting inspections, and any other security requirements of your business.” – Tom Slimick, Former Corporate Security Director – Compass Bank

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carol in several national-level security programs. She is an excellent presenter and she relates particularly well with workshop and conference participants. Carol is bright, articulate and professional.” – Dana Turner, Security professional

“As a Director of Education at a Bank, I was searching for a realistic, experiential, video-based program to help both new and experienced employees with the challenging task of dealing with potential robberies. I could not find what I was looking for, however, I found Carol’s company on the Internet and thought, “Let’s see if she can help.”

WOW! Talk about responsive and focused! We talked for quite a while. I shared what I was looking for and why and lucky for me, Carol was in production for a new video based program. She truly listened to the key elements I was seeking and when she called me to tell me the product was complete, I was eager to view it.

Robbery: Plan. Prevent. Prevail. is exactly what I was looking for. The most fascinating and powerful content are interviews with actual bank robbers – what were they thinking? Why did they approach particular locations? What was their mindset? To say that the conversation is engaging after viewing the video is an understatement.

The practical advice on what to do and why in case you are involved in a robbery is right on. Credible professionals share pragmatic information, backed up with facts. Participants walk away with a sense of “realness” that is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you, Carol, for putting this work together and making it available. If you are an educator in a bank, this program is a must have!” –  Cindy Goodwin, Director of Training –  C&F Bank

“It is refreshing when you attend a conference like this and actually get some information on things most others never cover. Carol Dodgen’s presentation of violence in the workplace was one of best and distinctive topics I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you.”– John Duvall, SVP, CFO – Lake Osceola State Bank

Mrs. Dodgen’s banking and law enforcement background makes her the perfect facilitator and she has done a wonderful job tailoring security training around our needs.

I would recommend her services over and over again.” – Russell Slade,  VP, Corporate Security Officer – Planters First Bank
