From the Desk of Chief Adams

The Morenci Police Department is alerting residents to a recent scam affecting members of our community. Some residents have received unsolicited text messages claiming to be from the Michigan Secretary of State. These messages attempt to pressure recipients into paying for an alleged traffic violation. These messages are not legitimate.

Residents are strongly advised not to click any links or provide personal information in response. If you receive a suspicious message, delete it immediately.

For detailed information and guidance on protecting yourself, please read the full letter from Chief Adams.

Staying informed and vigilant helps protect you and the community. If you believe you have been targeted or have questions, contact the Morenci Police Department.
