Guards
Most armored cars have 2 to 3 occupants:
- driver, who is normally never allowed to leave the vehicle until it returns back to the garage
- 1-2 guards who deliver the cash or valuables
Depending on the jurisdiction, the guards are armed with weapons. Most carry small-caliber handguns or shotguns. In many jurisdictions these guards are required to have weapons training. Six Member States of European Union prohibit weapons during CIT operations.
Guards wear ballistic vests and may or may not wear ballistic helmets.

“For every man that Bolingbroke hath pressed
To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,

Weak men must fall; for heaven still guards the right.”

—John Locke (1632–1704)
