🚔 This week’s PPM (Partnered Preventative Measure): Don’t leave keys or key fobs inside your vehicle.

Leaving keys in your car can quickly turn a burglary into a vehicle theft. It only takes a few seconds for someone to take advantage of the opportunity, even if your vehicle is:
• Parked in your driveway
• Left running “just for a minute”
• In a familiar neighborhood

Help protect your vehicle by following these simple steps:
🔑 Take your keys with you every time
🔑 Never leave a spare key inside the vehicle
🔑 Keep key fobs out of sight and never leave them inside the car

A few extra seconds can help prevent a major loss. Stay alert and stay safe, Durant! 🚓

⚠️ SCAM ALERT ⚠️

The Durant Police Department has received information that individuals are contacting citizens by phone claiming to be a law enforcement officer or even the Chief of Police. The caller instructs victims to go to a certain location, wait for further instructions, and threatens arrest if they do not comply.

🚨 THIS IS A SCAM. 🚨

Please know that law enforcement does NOT operate in this manner. Officers will not call and demand that you travel to a location, send money, provide personal information, or threaten immediate arrest over the phone.

If you receive this type of call:

• Hang up immediately
• Do not provide personal or financial information
• Do not send money or gift cards
• Do not follow instructions from the caller
• Avoid engaging further with the scammer

If you are unsure whether a call is legitimate, contact your local law enforcement agency directly using a trusted phone number. Citizens may contact the Durant Police Department to verify any suspicious claims.

Please help protect others by sharing this information with family, friends, and elderly loved ones who are often targeted by scams.

Stay alert and stay safe.
