SCAM ALERT
There is a common scam circulating in the area where victims are receiving text messages warning of unpaid toll fees. Do not respond to these scams, do not click on any links and do not give away any personal information.
The Salem Police Department is a great place to work. The route to joining is through the Massachusetts Civil Service test for Municipal Police Officer. https://t.co/q95Tw9Jlw8
Please be aware that there will be a National Guard helicopter operating in the vicinity of Highland Avenue this afternoon as part of the ongoing fire response in that area.
Continue to avoid the wooded, impacted area as first responders work to address the fire.
This morning we had a hoax call of a shooter at Salem High School. While we believed it to be a hoax from the moment it was received, we deployed officers who will remain until students have left. These calls fit a pattern throughout the state and country.
More than 200 of NYPD’s Finest are in DC and have been sworn in as United States Capitol Police Special Officers to assist in policing events this week at our nation’s capitol. These officers are some of the most highly trained and from some of the most specialized units in the Department and will use their knowledge and expertise to assist our law enforcement partners in DC. No matter the task, no matter the assignment, no matter how far from home, your NYPD will answer the call and ensure the public is safe and that democracy is protected. #WeOutsideTooDCEdition

On this Veterans Day, we would like to recognize our officers who have served in the armed forces. The department is grateful for their courage and sacrifice for the nation and we are very fortunate to have them as colleagues. #SalemMA
Public Service Announcement: The US Marshals continue to warn the public of "Phone Scams" targeting Massachusetts residents claiming to be the US Marshal in Boston from a "spoofed" USMS Office phone line. These are HOAX calls! Do not engage if called. https://t.co/lwdMSwMM4K
Thirty-three years ago today, I joined the NYPD. I had the most extraordinary adventure, I met some of the finest people in the world, I solved a few crimes, and hopefully I brought some measure of safety and comfort to the city. #nypd#salemmapolice
SPD is responding to a reported bomb threat at Witchcraft Heights Elementary School. Based on preliminary investigation, we believe this to be a hoax, but out of an abundance of caution, the school has been evacuated and teams are searching the school.
It was comforting to stand with members of the Salem Fire Department at their 9/11 Memorial, some of whom responded to New York, 22 years ago today. #SalemMA#SalemMAFire
