🚨 SCAM WARNING: We have received reports that someone is impersonating a WCSO Deputy and insisting you pay them.

WCSO will never call and threaten to arrest you if you do not pay.

Please do not pay someone you do not know.

WCSO, in collaboration with multiple law enforcement agencies, conducted a large-scale operation targeting drug traffickers operating in our county.

The operation resulted in multiple arrests and the seizure of illegal narcotics and firearms.

We are aware that many of you received an "all clear" alert around 11:30pm.

Please know that we are actively working with our vendor and FEMA to determine why the message was sent to a wider audience than intended. Thank you for your patience.
