Under the Bank Protection Act, banks are required to implement security measures to protect their premises, employees, and customers from robbery and other crimes. One of the types of security devices that is required for each bank, at minimum, is tamper-resistant locks on exterior windows and doors.

Tamper-resistant locks are designed to prevent unauthorized access to the bank's premises through windows and doors. They are designed to resist physical attacks, such as drilling, cutting, or picking, and to be difficult to remove from the outside. The locks should be of high quality and installed properly to ensure maximum security.

While full-time security guards may be employed by banks to enhance security, they are not required by law. Similarly, bullet-proof glass at all windows and a vault door made of steel that is at least 3 inches thick may be used to provide additional security, but they are not minimum requirements under the Bank Protection Act.

In summary, the minimum security device required for each bank under the Bank Protection Act is tamper-resistant locks on exterior windows and doors.
