Our chapter in “CopTalk” regarding ATM robberies can give you some valuable insight on how to keep your day from being wrecked. In some cases, it can prevent you from being hurt and yes, even killed while using the ATM to withdraw your hard-earned money.
We all do it several times a week. Some of us even do it more than once a day. We all make that convenient trip to the ATM machine to withdraw something that other’s want also.
MONEY!

Story of the week…
I read the headlines and shook my head out of frustration. The photo revealed a heaping smoldering pile of what was once a compact vehicle on the shoulder of the freeway. The smoldering heap contained the ashes and remains of 2 adult women, a small child and an infant. One of the adults was believed to be the mother of the children.
4 lives were taken in a fiery second, because of a mistake. A fatal mistake that could have been avoided.
The scene was a 5-lane freeway interchange that many have described as being confusing. The driver apparently had become confused and saw that she was in the wrong lane of the interchange. She did what we have all done at one time or another.
My partner Byran isn’t sitting there on your street in the sun just trying to meet a “Quota”.
He’s not there to add a point to your driver’s license history and cause your insurance rates to soar.
He isn’t here to wreck your day while you’re driving to fast because you’re late to work.
But that’s the bottom line.
“If you’re driving too fast, you’re gonna run into Bryan!”
