Fairfield News: Fairfield Cop Gives Out Candy

#Fairfield CT– I’m looking out my window for Trick or Treaters to visit my home when I spot a police car pull up next to my neighbor’s yard.  I’m like what the heck I’m monitoring and didn’t hear anything for next door.  It turned out to be Fairfield Police Officer Peck had stopped to deliver some candy to the kids that were there.  At first I thought it was his kids because they were dressed as police officers!   Not related at all, we all happened to be in the right place at the right time!  Turns out officer Peck buys ten pounds of candy and distributes them until he runs out.  Way to go!!  How about some likes for him?

 

 

Fairfield Town Hall Flocked

#Fairfield CT– If you drove by town hall on the Old Post Road on Friday you would have noticed an invasion of pink on the front lawn.  I contacted First Selectman Mike Tetreau who told me to contact the Park and Recreation Department.  I called and was told the woman I needed to speak to went to lunch, I have not heard back from her by the end of day.  So I looked up “You’ve Been Flocked” on Google and http://youvebeenflocked.com/

states” Flamingo flocking refers to a form of lawn greeting. It involves the placement of a “flock” of plastic pink flamingoes in someone’s yard. The flocking might be ordered by someone for placement in a friend or family member’s yard, as a practical joke, or to wish someone a happy birthday or celebrate some other special occasion”.   

 

The signs indicated it benefited the Narma F. Priem Breast Care Center.

Jury Duty Scams

#Fairfield CT–Over the last several days, the Fairfield Police Department has received an increase in investigations involving the jury duty scam. The jury duty scam remains one of the most successful intimidation/imposter schemes.  Scammers can not only get a quick payoff but also enough personal details for future identity theft.
The caller claims to be members of law enforcement, whether it’s the local police, the sheriff’s department or the U.S. Marshals Service. They usually provide information that you’ve failed to appear for jury duty, failedto answer a court summons or have an active warrant for your arrest which they may tell you was just signedby a judge.

Your caller ID may show phone numbers for a courthouse or law enforcement agency, and the caller may citenames of actual police officers, court officials, judges or town officials. The caller will tell you that you can pay a fine to avoid arrest. They will request this payment through prepaid cards, gift cards or wire transfer. The caller may even ask to confirm your identity by soliciting personal information, including your name, birth date, Social Security number and other ID theft-worthy details.

WHAT DO YOU DO?
Hang up without providing any information about yourself and do not purchase a Green Dot MoneyPak, I-Tunes gift card, or alike.
MORE INFORMATION:
Authentic jury duty notifications, as well as “no show” summonses, are nearly always delivered by mail. In the rare instances that you may by contacted by phone, you won’t be asked for personal information such as your Social Security number, birth date or driver’s license number and you won;t be asked to make a payment for a fine over the phone.

Police officials do not make phone calls warning of an impending arrest.
These fake phone calls often come in the evening, after the courthouse has closed and its employees have left. Gleaning targets’ names and addresses from phone directories or other public records, scammers often call after usual working hours because they know they have a better chance of reaching their intended victims.

Southport News: Police/Fire Rescue Horse From Swimming Pool

4:24pm– #Fairfield CT– A horse found its way into the gated off area of a swimming pool and must have thought the covered pool was safe to walk on but it fell in.  Firefighters told me the homeowner had worked to keep the horse’s head above the water until first responders arrived.  Police officer Greg Gunther was first on the scene and aided the firefighters in getting the horse to the shallow end of the pool.   Firefighters had the horse out of the pool in a matter of minutes.  The horse had a long face over the incident but had a tale to tell the other horses.
