A 92 year-old man recently went to his local Bank of America in California to make a withdrawal. When the tellers noticed that his ID was expired, they informed him that they could not help him, and he started to become upset.

Eventually, bank managers felt that they had no choice but to call the police to have the man removed from the premises. That’s how Officer Robert Josett, and what he did when he got there left everyone stunned.

When Josett got to the bank and learned what happened, he decided to do something very unusual. Instead of simply escorting the 92 year-old out of the bank, he did something amazing to help the man.

Taking matters into his own hands, Josett drove the elderly man to the DMV and got him a new ID, but he didn’t stop there. He then drove the man back to Bank of America so that he could withdraw the money that he had initially come there for.

When the Montebello Police Department posted a photo of Josett helping the elderly man, it quickly went viral.

“This Officer is a Saint!” one person commented. “All this Little Grampa wants is to keep his independence. And the officer helped him in a dignified manner. Good Job Officer!”

“Heart touching and I love that the officer was able to get him in and out of the DMV so quickly!” joked another. “That alone is medal worthy!”

“We often hear only bad news of officers, we can’t judge everyone the same,” agreed another. “Officer Robert Josett thank you so much for helping this elderly man, it could have been my father or grandfather. God Bless you….and thank you for your service.”

These days, it often feels like only negative stories about police are reported by the media. We would love to hear about more officers like Josett, who selflessly protect their communities every day!
