Night Shift Summary 06/18/26
A stealing was reported in the 2000 block of Washington Crossing
Homeless activity near 5th and Market Street.
Bad news: Scammers are getting more creative.
Good news: They're apparently desperate enough to try scamming police officers now.
One of our own officers recently received a voicemail from "AT&T" claiming a 50% discount was about to be removed from their account because they failed to respond to a previous call.
There was just one problem...
AT&T had never called in the first place.
Fortunately, our officer recognized this as a red flag. After doing some research, they confirmed this was a scam making the rounds.
Here's how it works:
📱 Scammers leave voicemails pretending to be AT&T employees.
📱 They want you to call them back.
📱 Once they have you on the phone, they try to collect PINs, account information, and other identifiers.
📱 They then use that information to access accounts and steal money.
The takeaway? If a company claims there is a problem with your account, don't call the number from the voicemail. Instead, contact the company directly using the phone number listed on your bill, their official website, or their mobile app.
Remember: If scammers are willing to take a shot at a police officer, they're willing to take a shot at anyone.
Stay alert, Washington!

The Washington Parks & Recreation Department is proud to announce that this year's Hometown Heroes banners have been installed along Front Street in our historic downtown district.
As you walk or drive through downtown, we encourage you to take a moment to look at these banners and reflect on the incredible men and women they represent. Each banner honors a local veteran, active-duty military member, or first responder whose service, sacrifice, and commitment have helped protect our freedoms and strengthen our community.
The Hometown Heroes Banner Program was launched in 2023 by the Franklin County Hero Network in partnership with the City of Washington and Downtown Washington, Inc. Family members are invited to submit information about loved ones they wish to honor, while local businesses and community sponsors help make the program possible through banner sponsorships.
A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to:
❤️ The military members, veterans, and first responders honored on these banners. Your courage, dedication, and willingness to put yourselves in harm's way for others will never be forgotten.
💙 The founders and volunteers of the Franklin County Hero Network for their vision, hard work, and continued commitment to recognizing our hometown heroes.
🤍 The local businesses and community sponsors whose generosity helps keep this program thriving.
💪 And a special thank you to our Washington Parks & Recreation crew, whose hard work and teamwork ensured each banner was safely installed and proudly displayed for our community to enjoy.
The banners will remain on display throughout the season as a visible reminder of the heroes who have served our nation and our community.
Thank you to everyone who helps make this meaningful tradition possible. We are honored to play a small role in recognizing those who have given so much.
