Another reason to celebrate our Clark Township Police Department, every day, but especially mentioning as it is National Police Week, was on display today.
Police Director Grady did another presentation to seniors at Woodcrest warning against common scams. Their ward 2 Councilman Patrick O'Connor, at Large Council President Councilman Bill Smith, Mayor Angel Albanese and I were grateful for the opportunity to gather, depth of knowledge shared and participation by the residents.
The biggest takeaway was how easy it is to be scammed as the sophistication, especially through AI, is mind blowing. He repeated often how willing our CPD is to assist, no question too silly or small. We appreciate them, always!!
On a personal note, I would say we’ve seen a reluctance to report if one is scammed because of shame, embarrassment or fear, and if it helps to know some of the smartest people we know have been victims.
There is no shame in being victimized and you WILL be supported, so please don’t stay silent and know help is out there!
Thank you to our CPD and all who made today possible!
