🚨 Scam Alert – Please Stay Vigilant 🚨

The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office is aware of an ongoing scam circulating in our community. We would like to remind residents that we will NEVER call you regarding citations, unpaid warrants, or direct you to deliver money to any location.

Scammers have recently been sending text messages with fraudulent paperwork to make their demands appear legitimate. They may instruct individuals to go to an “approved kiosk” to deposit money before coming to the Sheriff’s Office, and some victims have reported being told they cannot hang up and must keep an open line with the scammer.

The photos shown below are images the scammers have used in an attempt to convince citizens that the fraudulent warrant information is real.

Please remember:
- Do NOT send money, there are no "approved kiosks", and law enforcement will NEVER ask you to pay at a "Bonding Transaction Center - (BTC)".
- Do NOT provide personal information.
- Do NOT remain on the line with anyone demanding payment.

The Cumberland County Sheriffs Office and law enforcement will NEVER ask for money, gift cards etc over the phone.

Always hang up the phone and report to your local police department or Sheriff's Office.

If something seems suspicious, it likely is. Stay alert and aware.

To report a suspicious call or text, you can contact the Sheriff's Office at (856) 451‑4449 x 25100 or reach out to your local police department.

Spread the word to friends and family who might not be on social media.

Sheriff Michael Donato recently visited Rowan College of South Jersey to engage with the Criminal Justice students, offering them an insightful glimpse into the workings of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office. During his presentation, Sheriff Donato discussed the many functions of the office, which range from maintaining public safety and executing court orders to providing security to judicial staff and collaborating with other law enforcement agencies.

He also discussed specifics of the hiring process, sharing valuable advice for those aspiring to enter the field of law enforcement. Topics included the qualifications and skills required to become a Sheriff's Officer, different stages of the recruitment process, and the importance of community-oriented policing. Sheriff Donato's expertise, drawn from years of dedicated service, provided students with practical knowledge and a deeper understanding of the challenges and rewards of a career in law enforcement.
This kind of interaction bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world application, inspiring students and equipping them with the information they need to pursue their ambitions in this field.

We would like to thank the Rowan College of South Jersey - Cumberland Campus for allowing us to continue fostering connections between professionals and the next generation of law enforcement officers.

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office was honored to participate in this year’s Shop with a Hero Back to School event, hosted by the Greater Bridgeton Family Success Center and Gateway Community Action Partnership of Bridgeton. Captain Moore and Officer Lugo joined local children and families for a night filled with smiles, and meaningful connection.

This program brings together law enforcement, community partners, and young people for a memorable shopping experience that reinforces trust, support, and compassion. Watching our officers walk the aisles with excited kids, helping them pick out gifts, encouraging their choices, and sharing in their joy was a powerful reminder of what community policing is all about.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Greater Bridgeton Family Success Center and the Gateway Community Action Partnership of Bridgeton for organizing such an impactful event and for inviting us to be part of it. We’re grateful for every opportunity to serve, support, and stand alongside the families of Cumberland County.

Building community. Creating memories. Making a difference.

Today, we honor Constable Harry Buck, who gave his life in the line of duty on this day in 1902. While attempting to arrest a man on a disorderly conduct warrant in Bacon’s Neck, Constable Buck was shot and killed.

Constable Buck’s sacrifice is a solemn reminder of the dangers faced by those who serve and protect. His bravery and commitment to his community remain part of South Jersey’s law enforcement history, and his name continues to be honored on memorial sites like the Officer Down Memorial Page.
