Isn't that the whole point of a bank robbery?

Lockpicks also work on the door, the problem is that 90% of the time, PD gets alerted before the shutters close, either swiftly ending the bank raid or extending it a mere few seconds until everyone dies. As long as no PD enter through shutters, the bank raid usually lasts longer than 10 seconds.
In V5, no cops had keys to bank, making this an actual thing just means bank raids are PD sided, and still are.

This is my point

The only thing I would 100% support is letting PD be able to lock the interior door to the back, the office room or the upstairs overlooking the lobby, otherwise it makes too unfair.

This is intended and part of the balancing of the bank raid.

There's a chance you can alert police earlier and if that happens and you wish to delay the shootout you can always run as the automatic warrants have not been set yet.
