CPD: Scam Alert

By Officer Adam Cravens, PIO
Columbia Police Department

It has been brought to our attention that citizens have been receiving phone calls that appear to be from the Columbia Police Department with the caller ID displaying our office number and person calling stating they are with The Columbia Police Department.

Caller is giving the correct name of the recipient and stating they are in legal trouble owing a fine or having a warrant. This conversation leads to demanding money, gift cards, and or asking for account information for payment.

Please hang up and contact the Adair County 911 Dispatch at 270-384-6464 or the Columbia Police Department at 270-384-4119.

We will stress The Columbia Police Department does not and will not call at random demanding payment of any kind.
