🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

We have received reports of scammers calling people and claiming to be with the police department. The caller may tell you that you have missed jury duty, have a warrant, or owe fines and must pay immediately to avoid arrest.

🔹 The police will NEVER call you and demand money.
🔹 The police will NEVER ask you to pay fines over the phone.
🔹 The police will NEVER request payment through gift cards, prepaid cards, cryptocurrency, or money transfer apps.

These calls are scams designed to create fear and pressure you into sending money.

If you receive one of these calls:
✔ Hang up immediately.
✔ Do not provide personal or financial information.
✔ Do not send money.
✔ Contact your local law enforcement agency directly using a verified phone number if you have concerns.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post. A few seconds of awareness could save someone from becoming a victim.

WANTED WEDNESDAY 👀

Every hero wears a different uniform.

Our officers recently joined firefighters at Team Chip's Super Hero Day, where kids got to check out our equipment, vehicles, and learn a little about what we do.

The only challenge of the day? Convincing the kids that patrol cars are cooler than fire trucks. We're still reviewing the results, but we're pretty sure the sirens gave us an edge. 🚓 🚒

Thank you to Team Chip for inviting us out for a day full of smiles, questions, and future superheroes!
