In my city they sure would. The Police, D.P.S. Sheriff and Constable's offices are all within blocks of the bank.gigag04 wrote:The police will most assuredly cover all angles and elevations of the building of a robbery in progress.

Lets say your in the bank and hear "This is a robbery..." followed by a several gunshots. You turn towards the noise and see a man with a gun, and another man on the floor bleeding to death. At this point you have to decide engage or not.
Path A: You draw and shoot the armed individual, wounding or even killing him.
Path B: You attempt to escape, if possible.
Path C: play the cowering witness until you are directly threatened.
Now what you did not see, or know, until after you decide on what to do is that the man with the gun is a CHL holder (or off duty LEO) who just shot the bad guy before you even knew what was happening. Situational awareness is not always 100%, so you can (and at times will) miss something. I could post other scenarios to illustrate the point, but I think the point is made.
