During the winter months when the snow birds head south, the Croswell Police Department offers to make property checks on homes until the snow birds return in the spring.

*INTERNET SCAM* Posted on 11/01/06
Our department has been notified of computer crimes being committed against residents and people in the area of Croswell. Identity Theft and Fraud are the two most prominent crimes being committed at this time. Protect yourself. Never give personal information to someone online or on the phone.
There have been recent cases where items have been placed for sale on the Internet and a buyer has sent a check for payment of the items to the seller. Once the seller deposits the check in the bank but before the bank can clear the check, the buyer contacts the seller asking to have some of the money returned. This enables the buyer to obtain the seller's bank account information and to withdraw money from the seller's account.
*FREE GUN LOCKS*
As part of our involvement in Project Child Safe, we are giving out free gun locks. If you would like a free gun lock, please stop into our office Monday through Friday 8 AM-4 PM. If you cannot make it during these times, contact our department at 810-679-2200 before stopping by to see if an officer will be in the Office to assist you.

The Croswell Police is investigating an attempted fraud where a citizen was called by an unknown person. The person stated that the victim had won a $500 gift card.

Croswell Police would like to again remind people to not give out any information over the phone unless they initiate the phone call.
