🚨 SCAM ALERT – JURY DUTY WARRANT PHONE CALLS 🚨
Residents have reported an increase in phone calls from scammers claiming to be law enforcement or federal agents saying the resident has a warrant for missing jury duty.
The scammer threatens arrest and demands immediate payment (often thousands of dollars) through bitcoin, gift cards, wire transfers, or apps.
⚠️ THIS IS A SCAM.
Real courts and law enforcement do not call demanding payment to avoid arrest for missing jury duty.
In the past several days, multiple residents have been targeted, where residents reported losing thousands of dollars.
✅ If you receive a call like this:
• Hang up immediately
• Do not send money or gift cards
• Contact your local law enforcement agency

This hands-on training strengthens decision-making, communication, and team-building skills essential for today’s policing. We’re proud of their commitment to professional growth and leadership excellence, which continues to strengthen our department and the service we provide to our community. 💙🚓
