SCAM ALERT
Multiple medical offices in Staunton received phone calls yesterday from a male claiming to be a US Marshal. The male told office personnel they had federal arrest warrants but could avoid arrest by sending several thousand dollars in money orders to him. Office personnel contacted the Staunton Police Department and no money was sent to the scammer.
Please remember that law enforcement agencies will never demand money in lieu of an arrest. If you receive a phone call requesting money from someone claiming to be a law enforcement officer, hang up and do not provide any personal information over the phone. The Staunton Police Department can be reached 24 hours a day at 540.332.3842.
I keep a whistle next to the phone 😂😂😂
I keep getting calls, 20-30 a day, saying they're from financial aid and that I was chosen for a federal grant
HAHAHAHAHA! even the scammers are getting lazy!
NEWS RELEASE
Approximately one year ago the City of Staunton completed significant upgrades to its E911 call system (NextGen 911). Part of that upgrade provided for a text-to-911 feature, but wireless carriers had not yet updated their networks to accommodate this feature. All wireless carriers have completed the necessary updates to their networks and the text-to-911 feature is now live in Staunton.
The text-to-911 feature will be especially beneficial to callers who are hearing impaired and in situations when a citizen is in danger and is unable to speak freely with a public safety dispatcher. Only SMS (text messages) should be sent using this feature. Not all wireless carriers support MMS, or picture messages, to the text-to-911 system.
The text-to-911 feature is not designed to replace the traditional 911 system. Citizens are reminded to call 911 in an emergency if able to do so.
The text-to-911 feature is available in the City of Staunton. Other jurisdictions may not have this technology in place at this time. All Virginia localities are required to have text-to-911 no later than July 1, 2020. As with traditional 911 phone calls, the system should only be used in an emergency.
A belated thank you to the 911 Staunton operator who was there for me when I had to Heimlich my very ill husband. You helped save the day.
thank you for posting this
That's awesome. Way to go Staunton.
Great news!

Staunton Police Officers recently participated in our annual “Shop With a Cop” program. Since 2004, the Staunton Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association has sponsored this event to benefit local children and their families during the holiday season. Each child had an opportunity to shop for presents for their family at Walmart before going to the Stonewall Jackson Hotel to wrap gifts and enjoy lunch with their officer. Many thanks to Quick’s Bus Company, the Stonewall Jackson Hotel, Office on Youth and Staunton City Schools for helping make this event a success!
It was wonderful to see them at Walmart shopping together. 🎄🎁☺️ The officers all had smiles on their faces.

NEWS RELEASE
The Staunton Police Department is investigating the report of a male impersonating an investigator from the Social Security Administration. The male approached a residence in Staunton, displayed a silver badge and claimed that the citizen’s account had “fraud activity” and that police would be responding if he was not given money. The male left the area after the citizen declined to speak with him further.
Social Security Administration employees and investigators will never go door to door requesting money or any form of payment. As a reminder, law enforcement will never contact you by phone to request money in lieu of arrest either. There is no evidence to suggest this incident is related to the incident reported yesterday involving a white male impersonating personnel from the City of Staunton Public Works.
The suspect was described as a black male wearing a suit with a silver badge. The male was also described to have a heavy foreign accent. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call either the Staunton Police Department at 540.332.3842 or Crimestoppers at 1.800.322.2017.

Between October 12 and 20, 2018, several hundred bronze and copper vases were stolen from the Oak Lawn Mausoleum and Memory Gardens on Shutterlee Mill Rd. A photograph of a similar style vase is below.
The vases were not taken from actual grave sites but were damaged items removed and replaced. The vases were stored in a separate section of the cemetery.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call either the Staunton Police Department at 540.332.3842 or Crimestoppers at 1.800.322.2017.
It literally says on the post that they weren't taken from actual graves. And still people are freaking out over exactly that. Come on people.
They didn’t want the ones at the grave sites as most have been replaced by cheaper models! My Mom paid thousands for headstone and heavy metal vase but for some reason has been replaced with some cheap plastic. They won’t talk to me regarding vase and Mom can’t as she has dementia.
Seams like a inside job if they knew where the old scraps where stored at.
There is a special place for people who would do something like this, and it's not Heaven!
My Father’s, Grandparents and Aunt’and Uncles grave sites are there and I've gone many times to find flowers and wresths removed or stolen & very unkempt grounds! Repeated complaints to the Office management has gone and fallen on deaf ears!! Really? You have our money but do nothing to keep this place scared and holy! Shame on you!!
Stealing from the dead....lowest life forms do that :(
My opinion anyone who steals, (especially off a grave site) the good Lord Should Send a Lightening Bolt Roght Down upon them !!!!! Bam
What is wrong with people!!! They will have to answer for this one day!!! Oak Lawn really needs some kind of security. Not the first time something like this has happened. 😡
I work at one of the local scrap yards ... we have been notified!! My grand parents are buried there also ... so sad for someone to stoop so Low!!! 😢😢
They are taking them for scrap and getting money.
What in the world would you do with them? They are not gold or silver.
Awful! So much disrespect these days!
I hope you find this person or people. All the best... sad they were stolen.
Need to go by and check in my Familys!!!! Prayers for that or those theives!!
Breaks my heart that someone somebody would steal from a cemetery!! My grandparents are buried in there plus other family members
If I go up there and find my families grave had been robbed what do I do. My father, grandfathers, and great grandmother are buried there.......
Very sad world we live in these days!!!
People do the most evil things and I don’t get it😲
Inside job, some knew they were there
What lowlifes to do this!
How sick can people be I hope they catch them
Low lifes will steal anything..I hope karma smacks them in the face
I don’t want to state the obvious, but check with local metal recyclers to see who is turning stuff in.
my family is there i am definitely going there today to see if theirs is gone this makes me sick they can’t even rest in peace
Watch out for Halloween grave yards. They might show up somewhere.

The IRS urges taxpayers not to fall victim to tax scams. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
The message they left today didn't say IRS but they said that I had four accounts against me and then I was going to be arrested the phone number they left was 509 317-9856 they said that I should call back right away.... Did not call back and will not go back but if somebody wants investigate that's the number that was left

SCAM ALERT
We have received reports of a new scam involving Medicare cards. Medicare recently mailed new paper cards with a unique member ID number to enrollees. Previous cards used the individual's social security number. The purpose of this update was to prevent identity fraud.
Scammers have been calling Medicare recipients attempting to obtain personal information by asking for the old ID number (the member’s social security number) and claiming this information is needed to “activate” the new card. However, Medicare will be sending out the new cards automatically. They advise that members should destroy their old cards upon receipt of the new card and never provide personally identifying information over the phone.
If you ever have questions about telephone or internet scams please contact the Staunton Police Department at 540.332.3842. For further information about this particular scam please visit: www.medicare.gov/forms-help-and-resources/your-medicare-card.html

A large tree has fallen in Gypsy Hill Park. The main entrance will be closed for several hours while crews work to remove it. All other entrances to the park will remain open.
We will provide an update when the main entrance is re-opened. No injuries were reported as a result of the downed tree.
SCAM ALERT
The Staunton Police Department has received a number of calls from concerned citizens in reference to the "IRS Scam". Scammers are pretending to be agents or employees of the IRS and will demand gift cards or other payment by telephone to avoid arrest.
Please don't ever give out personally identifying or gift card information over the phone, as law enforcement will never call to demand payment in lieu of an arrest.

Love playing with em. Just talk to em in German. Gets em every time
I don’t answer unknown numbers either. I get voicemails from random numbers, with a variety of area codes, which I then block) with the same robo-message. Tip of the day: If you’re going to try to fool a I.T. Specialist who is also a grammar nazi use prioer English!
I barely answer the phone from numbers I know, much less numbers I don’t.
I don't answer calls I don't know. If someone I do know is calling from a different number they'll try again or leave a message.
Got a call this morning. Just hung up
I got that call, but my first thought was, “ You morons, I don’t owe any money, I got my federal REFUND months ago!” They need to make sure they make those calls BEFORE refund season! 😁
Got a call around 11:00 (833)361-5184 was the number my call was from.
Me too. Arrested within 24 hours.
maybe if we keep blocking they will run out of numbers

Hate roundabouts.
Way faster than stop lights. Helps everyone get to their destination quicker.
Pro tip just Baja it through the middle to save time

Never driven on a roundabout but it was a good video to learn some tips.

SCAM ALERT
The Staunton Police Department recently received information from a citizen about a new scam. The citizen received a call from what appeared to be a local phone number, and upon answering the call was informed that she had won a free stay at a hotel due to using an American Express credit card. The citizen told the caller that she does not have an American Express credit card and the male became irate on the phone. This was likely an attempt to obtain credit or personal information. Be aware that scammers are easily able to “spoof” local phone numbers when calling from anywhere in the world.
Just speak Dutch to them. It confuses the hell out of em
I got that one and HUNG UP! Try not to answer these and block them. This was the only one I answered because it was local and only said hello then hung up! I like Kenneth's idea lol!
This happens to me three or four times a week whether it's a vacation or student loan debt forgiveness. But they all come from local numbers usually 540280xXxX. And if you get a missed call and try to call them back somebody will answer and just say I have no idea what you're talking about.
Been getting a lot of calls that are shown as local that are similar claiming to be a resort.
A heads up as well, if the number has the same area code and first 3 digits of the actual number as you do most likely its a scam as well, originally from Augusta County but now live in California and thats how you can tell here ive noticed... unless its someone actually calling but 10/10 calls for me its a scam.
NEWS RELEASE- UPDATE
On April 9, 2018 at approximately 2:15pm the Staunton Police Department received a report of gunshots fired in the backyard of a residence on the 900-block of N. Coalter St. Due to the proximity of the residence to McSwain Elementary School, the school was placed on lockdown as a safety precaution. No injuries were reported as a result of this incident.
Marston Lee Jones, 20, of Waynesboro was arrested and charged with misdemeanor destruction of property for damaging a drone belonging to Eric Andrew Robertson. Robertson, 34, of Staunton was arrested and charged with reckless handling of a firearm and brandishing a firearm.
so, am i understanding correctly, one guy grabbed his , hopefully, shotgun loaded with #8 fine bird shot, and knocked the other guys drone out of the sky with a load of , well, again hopefully, #8 fine bird shot?
So these are the idiots that terrified my baby while he was at school. I swear, some people don’t have any sense.

A subject is in custody; additional information will be forthcoming. There is no ongoing threat to the community as a result of this incident.
I glad everything turned out well, but as a parent of a child at this school I'm a bit upset that I wasn't informed right away. Instead parents only received a letter from the principal that was sent home with the students. Something like this I want to be informed immediately, not after school by a letter! 😡
Joey Reed Kristin Reed...too close for comfort!

Nice job, officers!
It really worries me now that Gov Northam wants to make Virginia a Sanctuary City.....we must fight this as well or we will end up like California! I am glad all is well in Staunton!

The Staunton Police Department offers a senior citizen call-in program that allows seniors to check in with the Staunton Police Department each morning. The program was developed a number of years ago to assist the senior citizens of our community who have no relatives or whose relatives live a long distance from the City of Staunton. This program provides seniors with someone to contact every morning to ensure that they are okay and not in need of assistance.
Participation in the program is voluntary and free of charge. A local resident informed us that certain businesses are now charging a monthly fee for a similar service, so we would like to take this opportunity to inform residents about our program. If you would like further information about this program please call us at 540.332.3857.
Staunton is a lot better in helping those who need it. They have a program that if people get in trouble the first time or so and you have a mental illness they dont just throw you in jail. You are on probation a year or two... you have to show up in court twice a month with others like you... your p.o. tells the judge how you have been those 2 weeks... if you go to counseling or psychiatrist... take meds... go to class... the judge really encourages you. If you got in trouble 1 time you go to jail 1 night... up to 3 times is 3 nights. After that you would be out of the program. If you make it through a year the charge goes away. This program is working so well to get ppl back on track.
God bless you for doing this! Can temporary calls in be handled? (Like when my husband is out of town for a three week trip?)
This is great. Thank you for protecting our seniors.
that's awesome !! what a great police force we have here.
How old do you consider senior citizen
Do u have to live in Staunton citt?
This is humanity at its best. One more reason #WhyILiveWhereILive
Waynesboro needs a program like this. There are so many senior citizens here who have no one close by.
Some of our farm networks check on each other daily by radio.
God Bless for doing this. I would also like to encourage neighbors to keep up with Seniors in their own neighborhoods.
Well done Staunton this is so so awesome thanks so much for taking the extra time and resources to make sure they are safe chief Williams well done sir if you ever need volunteers please let me know I would be glad to help I hope and pray it stays in your hands for ever finally the elderly has a voice and a opportunity to feel safe and their love ones don't have to worry about the safety of their love ones thank you again God bless all
That's awesome. I will pass this on to a few seniors that are up in age and live alone.
Awww this is so sweet! And shame on those other businesses for charging! I’d let little maw maws and paw paws call me any morning. My sweet little elderly patients are some of my favorite!
Thank you. With the aging population in our area I think this is a timely idea. God Bless all of you!
A great program blessings to all I am sure many people feels a lot safer knowing someone cares !!
This is great, and I didn’t know it existed.
This is what we do at wintergreen too
What an amazing service to the community!
This is a wonderful thing to do for the aging.👍👍👍

I say thank you to all of the dispatchers out there. You get everything in order and send the troops when trouble calls. You are there to give instructions to help callers before the rescue teams arrive. You are the hidden gem in the emergency services world. Dispatchers deserve all of Our recognition. For every emergency -there was a dispatcher that was the first contact to handle that initial call. Hats off to dispatchers. Cheers.
