WHERE TO GET MONEY: City of San Fernando Public Works Director Mike Drake was the first to cash out.
He approached the new automated teller bank machine installed Thursday in the lobby of the San Fernando Police Department headquarters, stuck in his card and punched in his personal identification number.
The cash machine was installed in the police station lobby to give patrons a sense of security in withdrawing money from their accounts--an alternative to using ATMs in less-trafficked areas where residents might be vulnerable to robbery.
Police officials say the goal is also to encourage residents to drop by the department and become more familiar with police officers, programs and services offered at the station.
