Thanks to the generous donations of an anonymous community partner corporation, the UPD's Millcreek Precinct had the opportunity to rediscover the meaning of Christmas. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3/27/2019 It's the most wonderful time of the year! 2/8 The corporate coordinator of the anonymous effort contacted a neighbor, Millcreek Sergeant Nick Roberts, for assistance in finding five families needing help during this holiday season. Sgt. Roberts then contacted Detective Bettina Allen of the Millcreek Precinct's Community Oriented Policing Unit. She reached out to several sources that assist in fulfilling the unmet needs of disadvantaged families in Millcreek. The names were gathered and gift lists submitted and forwarded to the anonymous community partner. Those generous people went to work and filled the lists, wrapped the presents, and purchased and decorated five full-sized and amazing Christmas trees! Det. Allen contacted the City for assistance in transporting the donated gifts. Communications Director Rita Lund arranged to rent a box truck. Then Sgt. Shannon Bennett, Detective Ronnie Prescott, Detective Allen, and Millcreek's Emergency Manager Skyler Stratford arrived at our community partner’s location to find the lobby brimming over with presents and trees.

SCAM ALERT Fake calls about your Social Security Number ---PAGE BREAK--- 3/27/2019 It's the most wonderful time of the year! 5/8 December 12, 2018, by Jennifer Leach, Acting Associate Director, Division of Consumer and Business Education, FTC The FTC is getting reports about people pretending to be from the Social Security Administration (SSA) who are trying to get your Social Security number and even your money. In one version of the scam, the caller says your Social Security number has been linked to a crime (often, he says it happened in Texas) involving drugs or sending money out of the country illegally. He then says your Social is blocked – but he might ask you for a fee to reactivate it, or to get a new number. And he will ask you to confirm your Social Security number. In other variations, he says that somebody used your Social Security number to apply for credit cards, and you could lose your benefits. Or he might warn you that your bank account is about to be seized, that you need to withdraw your money, and that he’ll tell you how to keep it safe. But all of these are scams. Here’s what you need to know: The SSA will never (ever) call and ask for your Social Security number. It won’t ask you to pay anything. And it won’t call to threaten your benefits. Your caller ID might show the SSA’s real phone number (1-800-772- 1213), but that’s not the real SSA calling. Computers make it easy to show any number on caller ID. You can’t trust what you see there. Never give your Social Security number to anyone who contacts you. Don’t confirm the last 4 digits. And don’t give a bank account or credit card number – ever – to anybody who contacts you asking for it. Remember that anyone who tells you to wire money, pay with a gift card, or send cash is a scammer. Always. No matter who they say they are. If you’re worried about a call from someone who claims to be from the Social Security Administration, get off the phone. Then call the real SSA at 1-800-772- 1213 (TTY 1-[PHONE REDACTED]). If you’ve spotted a scam, then tell the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3/27/2019 It's the most wonderful time of the year! 6/8 UPD Swears In Brand New Police Officers GREATER SALT LAKE.
