On Tuesday January 26, 2021 at about 11:00 a.m., the Bethlehem Police Telecommunications Center received a phone call from a town resident to report a scam. The resident advised that she received a phone call from someone representing the Bethlehem Police Department and asking for support through a monetary donation. After providing the credit card number to the caller, the line then disconnected. The quick thinking resident did then immediately contact her credit card company with the belief that she was just a victim of a scam and contacted the Bethlehem Police where the scam call was confirmed. The Bethlehem Police, the Bethlehem Police Officers Union or Bethlehem Police Supervisors Union do not conduct phone solicitation fundraising. The Bethlehem Police Department is asking anyone who gave any donations for the Bethlehem Police Department over the phone, to please contact them at 518-439-9973.
