Police warn of county employee impersonators

By Ken Hupp - 67AM KPUA News

Police are warning the public of a possible scam in which individuals are impersonating an employee from the County Tax Office. A female party in a white, unmarked vehicle reportedly identified herself as a contract hire who was checking on properties for tax purposes. But she was unable to produce a County employee identification card when asked to do so. Police say all field work is done by Real Property Tax Office personnel with photo identification and business cards and in county vehicles with county seals visible on the side. If you witness any suspicious behavior, call the police non-emergency number at 935-3311.
