Spooky Stories & Community Connections!

The Jamesburg Police Department was proud to participate in Spooky Stories, an event hosted by the Jamesburg Historical Association!

During the event, Ptl. Ivan Tecalero had the opportunity to read Halloween-themed stories in Spanish to Spanish-speaking children from our community.

Events like these are about much more than storytelling. They provide an opportunity to build relationships, celebrate the diversity of our community, and help children feel comfortable and connected with the officers who serve them.

A special thank you to the Jamesburg Historical Association for hosting this wonderful event and providing an opportunity to bring our community together.

We are proud of Ptl. Tecalero for taking the time to connect with our youngest residents and helping make this a memorable experience!

Building trust, one story and one smile at a time!

FRAUD ALERT: GOVERNMENT IMPERSONATION SCAMS
Post Date:10/13/2026
Government impersonation scams have been prevalent in Middlesex County. Fraud is constantly evolving with the advent of cryptocurrency and payment applications. Scammers often utilize a phone call but also use email, text messages, social media messages or U.S. mail to pretend to be an agency or organization to gain your trust.

To protect yourself and others from these scams, consider the following:

Federal, State, and Local law enforcement will NEVER ask for payments
Government Entities will NEVER ask for payments over the phone and will not send individuals to your house to collect money.
You will NEVER be told NOT to tell family and/or law enforcement – If you are being told to stay on the phone and not tell anyone END THE CALL.
Never provide money to strangers – DO NOT provide cash, gift cards, gold bars or cryptocurrency payments.
Avoid Sharing Information – DO NOT provide your personal information, driver’s license number, social security number or bank account information.
End the Call – Scammers can spoof the number of a law enforcement agency. Obtain the caller’s name and end the call. Then call back the agency to verify the legitimacy of the phone call.
Call 911 – If someone is at your residence and requires cash payment, or you are told not to call local police or family members, CALL 911.
Block any phone numbers and send emails to junk for any suspected fraud attempts.
ARREST WARRANT SCAM

Scammers are emailing and texting pictures of real and doctored law enforcement credentials and badges in an attempt to ‘prove’ they are legitimate to scam you out of money. They will threaten an arrest, fines, or other penalties to scare you into immediate action. The scammer may also provide you a code or password to provide to the impersonating ‘law enforcement agent’ or courier that will arrive at your residence. Versions of this scam include but are not limited to:

A package that was seized with your name on it and they need your driver’s license and money to fix the issue.
An investigation into failure to show up to a criminal case regarding a jury summons which led to an arrest warrant being issued in your name.
CSAM (child sexual abuse material) was located in your email or computer and payment will resolve this matter.
Payments from your bank account have been linked to narcotics sales in other countries and you need to pay fines to the government to avoid further issues.
Overdue/outstanding EZ Pass payments that need to be collected
JURY DUTY SCAM

Residents have received a phone call from individuals impersonating the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office in a Jury Duty Scam. The impersonators advised that the residents were issued a subpoena for court and failed to appear. The impersonators told the residents that there were active arrest warrants for failure to appear and even provided fraudulent warrant numbers. The residents were told they could pay the fines for the arrest warrants to avoid arrest.

Courts and government agencies will NEVER ask for payment over the phone. Courts NEVER ask potential jurors for personal identifying information like your social security number.

SURROGATE’S OFFICE AND PROBATE COURT SCAM

Residents have who have had recent real estate matters have received calls from individuals impersonating the Middlesex County Surrogate’s Office and/or Probate Court. The impersonators have advised there has been an issue with their application and require additional fees and payments. The impersonators have also posed as attorneys, debt collectors and estate service providers who demand immediate payment with fraudulent fees. They will threaten legal action or frozen assets.

Contact the Surrogate’s Office directly at 732-745-3055, not the phone number the impersonator provides you. Consult estate attorneys before making payments.

Please call your local police department if you believe you are being victimized. You can also report scams to the Better Business Bureau https://www.bbb.org/scamtracker/reportscam or to the Federal Trade Commission https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ , the FBI Internet Crime Center (IC3) https://www.ic3.gov .

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — We Will Never Forget

This photograph captures members of the Jamesburg Police Department on their way to Ground Zero in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks, answering the call to help in one of our nation’s darkest hours.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the innocent lives lost, the heroic first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless police officers, firefighters, EMTs, military personnel, and volunteers who responded in the days and months that followed.

We are especially proud to recognize the members of our own department who traveled to New York City to assist at Ground Zero. This photograph is a powerful reminder that behind the badge are men and women willing to step forward when others need them most.

Today, we honor those who never came home, those who answered the call, and those who continue to live with the effects of that day.

May we never forget September 11, 2001.
May we never forget their courage, their sacrifice, and their service.

🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from the Jamesburg Police Department! 🇺🇸

Today, we recognize and celebrate the hardworking men and women whose dedication, commitment, and contributions help keep our community moving forward each and every day.

While many are enjoying a well-deserved day off with family and friends, we also want to recognize our officers who are working today and throughout the holiday weekend. While our community celebrates, they remain on patrol—away from their own families—ready to respond, protect, and serve whenever they are needed. We are incredibly proud of their dedication to keeping Jamesburg and Helmetta safe.

Whether you’re enjoying a barbecue, spending time with family and friends, or simply relaxing, we hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Labor Day.

Please celebrate responsibly, drive safely, and look out for one another.

From all of us at the Jamesburg Police Department, Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
