🚨 Scam Alert 🚨
The Farmington Police Department is warning the public about a recent phone scam. Scammers are spoofing the department’s non-emergency number (860-675-2400) to make it appear as though the call is coming from police.

Callers may falsely claim to be Farmington officers and attempt to collect personal or financial information, often under the pretense of investigating identity theft or fraudulent activity.

Stay vigilant:
Scams like this are constantly evolving. Never share sensitive information over the phone unless you are certain of who you are speaking with.

Verify the call:
If you’re unsure whether you’re speaking with a legitimate officer, hang up and call the Farmington Police Department’s communications center directly at 860-675-2400. A dispatcher can confirm whether the call is genuine.

This week, we proudly recognize and celebrate our Animal Control Officers during National ACO Week 🐾

Every day, ACOs go above and beyond to protect both animals and our community—responding to emergencies, reuniting lost pets with their families, investigating cruelty cases, and educating the public with compassion and dedication.

Their work isn’t always easy, but it is always essential. Thank you for your courage, commitment, and the care you show to those who cannot speak for themselves.

If you see an ACO this week, take a moment to say thank you 💙 THANK YOU BRENDA & LINDA!

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. 🚗❌📲

Distracted driving isn’t just dangerous, it’s preventable.
