August 17, 2007 - MPDC NEWS -Suspect Sought for Credit Card Fraud Involving ATMs
The department's Financial Crimes and Fraud Unit has been conducting an ongoing investigation of approximately 20 cases involving the fraudulent use of ATM cards.
In each case, individuals utilizing ATM cards at various facilities have inadvertently left their card in the machine. A subject observing the transaction will then retrieve the card and fraudulently use it to obtain cash. The incidents have occurred at ATMs located at Dupont Circle, NW, the 700 block of 13th Street, NW, and the 1900 block of F Street, N.W.
The department wishes to remind and advise citizens that some ATMs do not automatically dispense the ATM card and require manual transaction to retrieve the card.
Detectives have presently arrested a total of five individuals in unrelated cases and charged them with Credit Card Fraud. Detectives have an arrest warrant for another subject in connection with the investigation. He is identified as Joshua J. Flood (pictured right), of no fixed address. He is described as a 38-year-old black male, medium complexion, 5'9" tall, and weighing approximately 200 pounds.

August 7 2007 - National Night Out
The Guardian Angels started their day at The Hardy Recreation Center in the 2nd district. We ate pizza with the Police Officers and about 30 kids ages from 5 to 11years old. We explained the history of the Guardian Angels and talked with the kids about the difference between snitching and reporting a crime.
At 3pm, we went to Barry Farms Recreation Center. We assisted with putting chairs on the stage for the speakers/guests, assisted with unloading water and set up a Guardian Angels information table.
The best part of our day was going around the city with Police Chief Cathy Lanier. It made the guys feel very important and lets us know that she really appreciates the sacrifice the Angels make when we leave our families to volunteer to help make DC a safer place to live and visit. I truly believe we have the best Police Chief in the nation. I appreciate the opportunity to carry a MPD radio, and the opportunity to train at the DC Police academy. But for the Chief to allow us to travel the whole city with her while she addressed approximately 400 new recruits is something the DC Guardian Angels will never forget. We look forward to a long-term working relationship with Chief Lanier and her team.
