***Attention Residents of Caddo Parish:***

A recent phone scam is targeting our community. Investigators from the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office have reported that scammers are impersonating a lieutenant named Joshua Williams from the Sheriff's Office Civil Division. During these calls, the scammers demand money, falsely claiming that there is a warrant for the individual's arrest due to failure to appear for jury duty.

Please remember that no one from the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office will ever request payment over the phone or ask for payment by mail. Stay vigilant and protect yourself from these scams.

These scammers have already targeted multiple individuals. If you receive a call like this, hang up immediately. Do not make any payments, provide personal information, or share details about gift or money cards. Your safety is important.
