SCAM ALERT From Valentine Police Department

Phone scams have been reported, requesting funds for the local police department.

VPD Facebook page: "It has been reported to us that phone calls are being received that claim to be raising money for the police department. Rest assured we are most certainly not calling anyone requesting donations directly for the police department.

There is a representative of LAW Publications who is in Valentine. We work with her to raise donations to pay for booklets and other public information material. But she’s is working off of a donor list from years past, mostly local businesses, and is not cold calling the public at large.

So, short version is contact from LAW Publications is legitimate, anyone one else soliciting on behalf of the Valentine Police Department is not.

If you have any questions please call us at 402-376-3055."
