🚨 SCAM ALERT: Police Impersonators 🚨

We’ve received multiple reports of fraudsters impersonating Police Officers or Sheriff’s Deputies in an attempt to scam residents.

How the Scam Works:

• Victims receive a phone call claiming they are facing arrest or a warrant.
• The scammer demands payment to avoid legal action.
• Payment is requested through:
  • Cash apps
  • Gift cards
  • Bitcoin
  • Mailing cash
• The caller may use caller ID spoofing to make it appear the call is coming from a legitimate Police Department or Sheriff's Office.

 Important Reminders:

• No real law enforcement agency will ever:
  • Demand payment over the phone.
  • Request payment through gift cards, Bitcoin, or cash-by-mail.
• If you receive such a call:
  • Hang up immediately.
  • Do not provide any personal or financial information.
