Please be mindful of school zones and school buses with their stop signs out. Not only is it illegal to pass by a school bus with their stop sign out, but it is also very dangerous for our children.

Good morning, Facebook viewers. The PD has recently seen an uptick in scams that consists of extortion by threat or fear. Someone will reach out to the victim, usually by text or call, using an app that disguises the true number. The suspect will tell the potential victim that their loved one is in danger, in trouble, or the potential victim themselves is in trouble. The suspect will continue with you owe me *** dollars and need to pay or else. The suspect will use information gained of that victim like address, family members, etc to show legitimacy, however this is where we all need to use caution. Do not participate in the conversation. Hang up and or not respond to the text. They are using fear to get the victim to pay. It can seem very real when the suspect has certain details of you and your household. Please call us if you feel like you have become victim of any scam.
