🚨 WARNING: Police impersonation scam targeting Brook Park residents 🚨
A Brook Park resident received a phone call from a man claiming to be “Officer Powers” with the Brook Park Police Department. Caller falsely claimed she had an arrest warrant out of Texas and asked financial questions. The resident realized it was a scam and hung up. The scam caller continued to call afterward.
The number displayed was 202-427-9194. The resident reported no financial loss, and a responding officer helped her block the number. Brook Park police would not call people asking those questions.
Please be alert to callers claiming to be police officers, threatening arrest, and seeking personal or financial information.
Share this warning with family, friends, and neighbors—especially older loved ones—to help others recognize the same scam.
