Please be aware that Kosciusko County has recently seen a resurgence in "emergency scams." These are scams where the perpetrator presents themselves as an authority figure, insisting that a family emergency has occurred. Here are a few tips if you receive such a call:
1) DO NOT act immediately
2) Verify the person’s identity
3) Check the story out with someone else in your family
5) DO NOT wire money — or send a check or money order by overnight delivery or courier

Beginning in 1996 in Dallas-Fort Worth, broadcasters teamed with local police to develop an early warning system to help find abducted children.

Today the AMBER Alert system operates across all 50 states. #PoliceTalkTuesday
