Advisory

New Email Scam Alert!

This just in! Our ever cognizant Dispatchers noticed we received a large amount of scam reports this morning and asked us to bring this to your attention. Apparently, residents have been calling in to report they've received suspicious emails providing not only factual personal information, but also displaying a picture of their home. While the initial email does not ask for money, we can assume that a follow up email, or a response from you will give the scammers access to your computer or finances.

If you receive a phishy email, delete it right away. Do not open it, do not interact with it, and do not reply to it!
