Dear Community Members,
I am reaching out to alert you to an increase in scams by people claiming to be associated with the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office. These scams may involve phone calls, emails, or messages that demand payment, threaten arrest, or request personal information.
Often, the scammers indicate you have “missed jury duty” or that there is a “warrant” out for you and that you risk being “detained” if money is not sent immediately.
Please be advised that the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office does not contact individuals to demand money, request gift cards, or ask for personal or financial information. Local police departments never make calls like this either.

| Scam Alert from the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office |
- Do not provide any personal or financial information
- Do not send money or purchase gift cards, or transfer funds through a Bitcoin kiosk
- Hang up immediately and report the incident to your local police department or the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office at 781-329-3705
Your safety and awareness are our top priorities. Please share this message with family, friends, and neighbors to help prevent others from becoming victims of these scams.
Stay safe and vigilant,
Sheriff Patrick McDermott
Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office
