Full Notification

There is a new scam regarding individuals pretending to be Sheriff’s Deputies.

The Whittier Police Department has received several calls from residents stating they have been contacted, by phone, by an individual claiming to be a Sheriff’s Deputy. The person pretending to be a deputy tells them they had missed jury duty and that they are in violation. The caller then asks them to bring $2,000 to the Star Center to settle the violation. Please be advised that this is a scam.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will never call a resident to make any demand for money. 

If you have any questions, or if you have been a victim in the Compton area, please contact the Compton Sheriff’s Department at 310-605-6500.

Anyone with information about these incidents is encouraged to contact The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department – Compton Station, or their local policing agency.  The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Compton Station can be reached at (310) 605-6500.  If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call "Crime Stoppers" by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org.
