🚨 PHONE SCAM ALERT🚨

Bellevue residents, please be aware of a reported phone scam involving a male caller falsely identifying himself as “Marc Linder, Chief of Police.” The caller ID may even display the non-emergency phone number for the Bellevue Police Department.

This is NOT a call from our department, and NOT from Chief Linder.

If you receive a similar call:
❌ Do NOT provide any personal information
❌ Do NOT give bank or financial information
❌ Hang up immediately

If you have concerns or want to verify a call, please contact the Bellevue Police Department directly using our official published phone numbers.

Stay safe, Bellevue!

****Update: As of 3pm eastbound traffic has been opened back up. Please continue to use caution as there may be a small lane closure near the accident site as utility crews work to replace the pole. Thank you for your patience!

Attention Bellevue Residents:

Eastbound Route 20 from Copp Road until just passed Amcor is currently closed due to a serious traffic crash involving a utility pole. This also has knocked out power in the local area around Amcor. There is currently no estimate for when power or full traffic will be restored. Please allow extra time if traveling in that area. Thank you and be safe!
