that's verse presents staff kicks 92
year old band out of the bank and the
police do something shocking in today's
world it's not uncommon to hear stories
about the police unfortunately many of
those stories are bad police all over
the world put their lives on the line
each day for us so they can protect the
community sadly though a few less than
ethical police officers ruin the
reputation of most police officers every
once in a while though you hear about a
police officer who goes above and beyond
the call of duty to help the people of
their community just outside Los Angeles
California in a town called Montebello
the police department got a great deal
of attention it wasn't because something
unethical or tragic happened it was
because an officer did something amazing
the dispatcher at the police station
received a call from a bank nearby they
were complaining about a customer who
was causing trouble and resurfacing to
leave the bank officer Robert Joss it
was the officer closest to the bank so
he responded to the scene when he got
inside the bank he saw 92 year old man
in there who was very angry and upset he
was going on and on yelling at the bank
teller he was refusing to get out of
line the officer went into the bank he
asked to tell her what was going on and
she explained that the man wanted to
withdraw money from his account but she
couldn't help him the man had told her
that his ID card had expired but he
didn't realize it he couldn't understand
why his name and address and photo were
on the ID but they still couldn't allow
him to withdraw the money he just wanted
to take his own money from the bank the
teller explained to the officer that the
bank had a policy that prohibited them
to make any transactions with someone
with an expired identification officer
Johson listened realizing that he
couldn't force the teller to give the
man his money rather than taking the man
from the bank and arresting him he did
something that shocked just about
everyone the officer asked the man to
follow him outside the man originally
thought he was going to be forced out of
the bank but when the officer told the
man where they were going the man smiled
officer Johnson was taking him to the
Department of Motor Vehicles when the
two arrived the
officer went to find the person in
charge he explained the issue to the
manager and the man was allowed to get
in the front of the line he was able to
renew his license quickly so that the
bank would have no choice but to allow
him to take the money from his own
account after the man renewed his
license the officer took him back to the
bank the two got in line together and a
man withdrew the money that he needed
later that day when the montebello
police department heard what the officer
did they created a Facebook post along
with a picture of the officer helping
the man at the Department of Motor
Vehicles the post read earlier today
officers responded to the Bank of
America in Montebello regarding a
feature and who was causing a
disturbance upon the officers arrival
they discovered that a 92 year old man
was trying to withdraw money from his
account however his California
identification card was expired / the
bank's policy because his identification
card was expired they were unable to
fulfill his request the gentleman got
upset and the police were called once
officers arrived officer Robert Johnson
decided to take the man to the DMV in
town to help him renew his
identification card with the assistance
of the DMV his identification card was
renewed and he was taken back to the
bank at which time he was able to
withdraw money from his account he
thanked officer Johnson and went on his
way
the residents of Montebello were
incredibly proud that they had an
officer so kind and caring working in
their community the picture posted by
the police department was shared over
40,000 times at a time when the police
are often criticized for their actions
this officer is a great example of what
an officer should be after the picture
was posted over a hundred and ninety
five thousand people liked the post
people all over the country were allowed
to see how officer Johnson was willing
to go above and beyond the call of duty
most officers would have sent the man
out of the bank or maybe even arrested
him
officer Joss 'it helped the man get a
new ID so that he'd never have trouble
at the bank again
