money transporters

[m4k4v4li]

kind of off topic but do you have to be a cop to work for a money transporting company? what type of weapons are the guards usually armed with and how many are usually working at a given time

i just watched takers and on the way home they were moving money out of the bank near my house and it was just one guy walking out with a huge bag over his shoulder. is it handcuffed to him or something? how often do they get jacked up?

just out of curiosity lol

Considerable discussion will focus on work expectations and on the applicant's opinion on a variety of subjects, which each applicant will be required to answer to determine if a suitable character exists. Once this stage is completed a decision will be made and an offer for employment may be offered.

No, you don't have to be a cop to work for a money transporting company.

Guards are usually armed with a nine millimeter.

My friend who works for an armoured truck company always works with a partner. I think it's up to the company to decide and put up their own policy to see how many people they put on per shift/vehicle. I heard that some companies send out two people during the day, because there is more cash to be handled, but only one person at night. I personally don't understand why it works like this, I would think it's more dangerous at night.

The bag I believe they wire it around the shoulder. Being "jacked up" isn't too common here, my friend's never been jacked up. But he has heard stories, and they do happen sometimes, but you just don't always hear about it in the news.


Here's two links to two seperate armoured truck services locally in Vancouver.

^ hahaha what i thought too

I've never seen an armored car with less than 2 people, with one person usually left with the vehicle. They will occasionally carry shotguns as well.

When I worked at Superstore, there would always be 2 guys that would come and load up the cash machine, one would be working on it and the other would be watching him.

They're doing it wrong then. Should be one loading the cash machine, one watching to ensure the area stays secure.

^ sorry, that's what I meant, poor choice of words. Some co-worker or another told me that apparently if you get too close, the guy watching will lay you out lol.

^ Not true, I walked pretty much into one at midnight on first and renfrew, one guy was in the bank bringing out money bag and the guard just moves his shotgun from pointing down to somewhat pointing to my thighs, look like hes ready though, didnt do anythign threatening, said hello to me and i said hello back :P
