The Alamogordo Police Department had added two new members to its staff.
Earlier this week, the department held a swearing-in ceremony for the newest members of the Alamogordo Police Department. Police Service Aide, Brandyrhae Graf and Code Enforcement Officer Simeon Long has joined the team. Congratulations to these new members.
The department also wanted to send a scam alert to the public of False Calls Targeting Parents.
The APD has received multiple reports of a disturbing scam targeting families in the Alamogordo community. Callers are claiming to have kidnapped a family member and are using AI technology to mimic the voices of loved ones usually children to make the threat seem real.
The calls are coming from different phone numbers each time, making them difficult to trace. These calls are FALSE, but they are understandably causing panic. In some cases, parents have pulled their children from school, fearing for their safety.
Here’s what to do if you receive such a call:
• Stay calm.
• Do NOT share personal or financial information.
• Try to contact your loved one directly.
• Call 911 or the Alamogordo Police Department immediately at (575) 439-4300 to report the incident.
