PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT – IMPERSONATION SCAM

The Mohawk PBA and the Mohawk Police Department are issuing an urgent warning to residents of Mohawk and surrounding communities regarding recent reports of individuals impersonating law enforcement officers.

The Department has received multiple reports that unknown persons are contacting members of the public by telephone and falsely identifying themselves as representatives of the Mohawk Police Department and, in some instances, as members of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). These individuals have allegedly made false claims involving fabricated accidents, criminal allegations, and threats of arrest. In some cases, they have demanded payment or attempted to coerce compliance by falsely stating that law enforcement will respond to a residence to effect an arrest if certain demands are not met.

The Mohawk Police Department emphasizes that no law enforcement agency will contact individuals by telephone to demand payment of fines, bail, fees, or any other form of monetary compensation, nor will any legitimate agency threaten immediate arrest in this manner.

Residents are strongly urged to exercise caution. Do not engage with, provide personal information to, or make any payments to individuals making such claims. If you receive a suspicious call or text message of this nature, terminate the communication immediately.

If you believe the contact may have some legitimacy, contact your local agency via their non-emergency phone number or the Mohawk Police Department directly through our non-emergency line at 315-866-3492.
