Northport Police Warn Public About Scam Calls
NORTHPORT, AL — The Northport Police Department (NPD) is alerting residents to beware of scam callers impersonating NPD officers. These fraudulent calls often request personal information or payments, which the department has confirmed is not standard practice for legitimate law enforcement.
Residents are urged to remain vigilant and verify any suspicious calls by contacting the NPD directly at (205) 339-6600. This precaution ensures that individuals do not fall victim to these scams that can lead to identity theft or financial loss.
The NPD emphasizes that officers will never ask for sensitive information over the phone. If you receive a call that raises concern, it’s best to verify its authenticity through the official NPD number.
