Operating as usual
In the jury duty scam, potential victims receive calls from people posing as law enforcement. The caller tells the victim they failed to appear for jury duty and a warrant has been issued for their arrest and then demand payment. Hang up & report it.

Texting and driving can have the same consequences as drinking and driving: deaths and injuries. Help reduce these preventable tragedies. Put down your phone. Lives depend on it. You don’t drive intoxicated, so don’t drive intexticated.

¿Está conduciendo intexticado?
Ya sea para enviar mensajes de texto, llamar, navegar o cualquier otra cosa, usar su teléfono celular mientras conduce puede ser peligroso.
De hecho, enviar mensajes de texto y conducir pueden tener las mismas consecuencias que beber y conducir: muertes y lesiones.
Ayude a reducir la cantidad de estas tragedias evitables colgando su teléfono, porque muchas vidas dependen de ello. No conduces en estado de ebriedad, por lo que no conduzcas intexticado.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2019, distracted driving crashes took the lives of 3,142 people nationwide, a 10 percent increase from the year before. On average nine people are killed and hundreds more are seriously injured each day in the U.S. due to distracted driving.
During April’s National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, AAA Texas will release a new public service announcement (PSA) as part of its initiative, “Don’t Drive Intoxicated. Don’t Drive Intexticated.”
The PSA focuses on drivers who text behind the wheel while by themselves. A recent AAA survey found more than half (51 percent) of drivers admit to texting or emailing when they are alone in their vehicles, with those age 25 to 34 most frequently admitting to this behavior. Dallas County Sheriff’s Department will join AAA Texas to encourage people to put their phones down and focus on the road ahead.

Tax Foreclosure Sale Auctions in Dallas County Go Online

People lose a lot of money to phone scams — sometimes their life savings. Scammers have figured out countless ways to cheat you out of your money over the phone. In some phone scams, they act friendly and helpful. In others, they might threaten or try to scare you. Phone scams come in many forms, but they tend to make similar promises and threats, or ask you to pay certain ways. Here’s how to recognize a phone scam. Scammers might pretend to be law enforcement or a federal agency. They might say you’ll be arrested, fined, or deported if you don’t pay a fine or some other debt right away. The goal is to scare you into paying. But real law enforcement and federal agencies won’t call and threaten you.
n 2020, over 50 million people lost money to phone scams. @Dallas_Sheriff would like to remind residents that scammers use many tactics to sound and appear credible and may pretend be a deputy and threaten you with arrest if you don't pay. Check out the reminder below:
Today is #InternationalWomensDay and we celebrate and give a big thank you to all the women at the Dallas Sheriff's Office. We appreciate their service to the community.
Tips for driving in icy weather.
1. Ease up on the Gas
2. Slow way down. If you do go into a skid you’re less likely to do your vehicle or yourself damage.
3. Accelerate and apply brakes slowly.
4. Increase your following distance. You’ll need ten times the stopping distance compared to what you’re used to on dry pavement.
This morning was rough. A Dallas Sheriff’s Deputy was working an accident, when his squad car became part of the scene. Fortunately, the deputy is ok, but this stresses the need for everyone to SLOW DOWN ... for yourself and for others!! Drive carefully and watch out for ice on bridges and roads. Everyone got checked out by EMS and treated at the scene.
Please drive carefully. Slow down and watch out for those patches of ice on bridges and roads. We want you to get home safe.

This is the last day to register to vote! The Dallas County Voter Education Program resulted in 265 individuals participating in their right to vote. #VoterRegistration #DallasCountySheriff
4 days left to register to vote in the General Election. The Sheriff's Office passed out 1,212 voter applications to incarcerated people within the jail system. #VoterRegistration #4Days #DallasCountySheriff
Did You Know:
There are more than four million Americans who are unable to vote due to a felony conviction. This includes people on probation or parole, in prison, and in some states, people who have completed a felony sentence.
The vast majority of the 665,000 inmates in local jails, though, are legally eligible to vote. This is because most of these people are awaiting trial, with a substantial additional number serving misdemeanor sentences, which do not result in disenfranchisement. Despite the fact that most jail inmates are eligible to register to vote, it is believed that relatively few actually do so. Much of this is due to the logistical difficulties involved.
Jail inmates obviously cannot go to a registrar’s office to obtain registration forms and for those who are already registered, obtaining an absentee ballot while incarcerated can be difficult as well. These obstacles disproportionately affect communities of color since 58% of jail inmates nationally are African American and Hispanic.
In order to address these issues, several campaigns have been undertaken in recent years designed to inform jail inmates of their voting rights and to enable inmates to register to vote. The Dallas County Sheriff's Inmate Programs and Inmate Services Section have a campaign inside the jail systems to accomplish voter registration. They have been very successful in registering people who can legally vote within the jail system. Find out more in the video. #VoterRegistration #DallasCountySheriff

OfferUp Offers Scams & Vehicles with Fake Titles
Over the past few weeks, the Dallas Sheriff North Texas Auto Theft Task Force (NTATTF) has warned consumers to be on the lookout for scams when buying a used vehicle.
The scammer will steal a vehicle from a dealership and then advertised it for sale online on apps like OfferUp.
These vehicles are usually listed way below market value and are being sold with fake or phony titles provided by the scammer.
The current scam is that once the buyer agrees to purchase the vehicle and pays the seller in cash, he or she is then tracked or followed back to their residence where the vehicle is stolen back by the seller/scammer to be used again in another fraudulent transaction. .
The North Texas Auto Theft Task Force offers these tips to help you avoid becoming a victim of vehicle cloning:
• Be careful when purchasing a used vehicle from someone advertising it online in an app or in a newspaper
• Any face to face meetings should take place at a location that is highly public, preferably at a police station
• Use the free NICB VINCheck system and get a vehicle history report to look for red flags
• Have the title and VIN number checked by authorities before putting down any money. The North Texas Auto Theft Task Force can check the vehicle status to insure it is not a stolen vehicle (214) 653-3430.
• Trust your instincts. If a used vehicle price sounds too good to be true, walk away.

UPDATE: 6/8/2020 Dallas Man Charged with Theft of Firearms During Protests
A third Dallas man who exploited the chaos of the Black Lives Matter protests to steal firearms has been charged with gun crimes, announces U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Erin Nealy Cox.
Erick Montgomery, 18 was charged via criminal complaint with theft from a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) and possession of stolen firearms.
Montgomery is the third defendant in a criminal trio which includes Demonte Kelly, 18, and Lejael Rudley, 19, all charged with burglary of DFW Gun Range in Dallas, Texas.
According to the complaint, a surveillance camera recorded three men exiting DFW Gun Range around 1:45 a.m. on Sunday, May 31, shortly after the theft of more than 40 firearms.
In the span of just 80 seconds, the men allegedly pried open the side entrance of the facility, grabbed three rifles posted on the wall, and smashed glass cases to snatch several dozen handguns stored inside.
Following ATF’s release of the surveillance video, the Dallas Police Department received a credible lead in the investigation. A tipster claimed to know the identities of the three men, including Montgomery, that were shown in the surveillance video which aired on a local news channel.
ATF Special Agents tracked Montgomery to a Dallas apartment where he waived is Miranda rights and agreed to speak with agents. Montgomery admitted that he was present the night of the gun range burglary and stole multiple firearms.

On Sunday, May 31, 2020, at approximately 1:25 a.m., three suspects forced entry into the DFW Gun Range, located in the 1600 block of West Mockingbird Lane in Dallas. Video surveillance captured the suspects gain access through a door on the west side of the building. The suspects removed 43 handguns and 3 long guns from the business in under 2 minutes, and then fled on foot.
Suspect 1 is a young, black male, height and weight undetermined. At the time of the burglary, Suspect 1 wore dark-colored athletic pants, a gray, hooded jacket, black tennis shoes with a white swoosh and light-colored gloves.
Suspect 2 is a young, black male, height and weight undetermined. At the time of the burglary, Suspect 2 wore medium-colored jeans with areas of distress, a red-colored sweat jacket, dark tennis shoes with a white swoosh, white soles and white laces and a dark mask covering the lower half of his face. During the burglary, Suspect 2 wore a multi-colored, school-style backpack with black straps. Suspect 2 and Suspect 3 alternated carrying a dark-colored, pet carrier-style bag with mesh sides.
