Boro Park Shamroom reminds you, never give out personal information over the phone. If you're unsure or feel threatened, call 911 and contact Boro Park Sham immediately. I'm Chief Bridget Taylor, NYPD affairs with a very important message. If someone calls saying that they're a cop and they're asking for money, then they're not a cop. They are a cop. A con artist pretending to be a cop. New York City police officers will never call asking for any type of money whatsoever. If you receive a phone call from someone saying they are a police officer and have been money because they say you have a warrant or anything of that nature, call 911 and report that to us. Nobody should be scammed. Just today we had an incident in the compound of the 66 prison where a person was scammed for money by a person saying they were a police officer that there was a warrant. It was totally false. Bring this message to the community to the police. Tell your family, your friends. The police department will never ask for any type of money whatsoever. We have a tremendous working relationship with the strong control. Want to acknowledge our trouble for their tremendous work. and helping us make this arrest today and their work dayto-day between carpet kids, burglaries, and everything else missing children there at the forefront assisting us to help the community. I don't think we've ever had a better, stronger working relationship than right here, right now to police department and community leaders such as Shan. So, thank you for your support, your friendship, and may we all have many more great. Thank you.
