A Fairfield Police Department spokesperson said Friday the department is aware that an individual has been calling Fairfield residents and impersonating an officer.
Police said Friday the individual, a man, is likely using an app to"spoof" the agency's number as part of a scam."Spoofing" makes it appear as though someone is calling from a local number when they are not.
A criminal investigation is currently underway of these incidents. Meanwhile, police said if anyone receives an unexpected call from someone purporting to be a Fairfield police officer, immediately terminate the call and phone dispatch directly at 428-7300 to confirm whether you have indeed been contacted by one of our officers.
