The New Castle County Division of Police has received several reports of scam calls using both our department as well as the New Castle County Sheriff’s Office. The fraudsters are claiming to be law enforcement, or bail officers, and requesting money be sent electronically to them to due to “missed court dates” or “missed jury duty”.

The incoming calls are showing as our non-emergency number (302-573-2800); however, it is not legitimate, and no officer will ever call to ask for money in lieu of arrest! If you receive a call like this, please don’t give any personal information out and do not send money!

If you receive a phone call or have received a phone call, you can contact the New Castle County Division of Police via the non-emergency number, (302) 573-2800 to make a report.
