🚨 Cyber Crime Awareness 🚨

Cyber criminals often use phishing emails, fake text messages, and phone scams to steal personal information and money. Protect yourself by avoiding suspicious links, using strong, unique passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, and verifying requests for sensitive information before responding.

If something seems suspicious, trust your instincts and don't click, don't share, report it.

Working together, we can help keep our community safe online. If you believe you've been the victim of a cyber crime, contact dispatch at (860) 409-4200 and report the incident as soon as possible.
