That's usually the case. Happily, there are sometimes exceptions.
Back in the days before direct deposit of paychecks was commonplace, the Secret Service issued a bi-weekly paycheck, which most agents took to the bank to deposit.
An agent friend of mine was standing in line in the bank when the man in front of him drew a gun and pushed a note to the cashier. He was robbing the bank!
My friend took no action in the bank, but followed the robber outside. The agent then announced himself as a federal agent and ordered the robber to surrender.
The robber began to run away and the agent fired an (unauthorized) "warning shot" into the air. The shot struck an overhead street light, raining broken glass down on the robber, who then surrendered.
Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time.
