* The Mercer Island Police Department (MIPD) issued a scam alert on March 4 that reads:

“A familiar scam is making its rounds, you know the one where someone claiming to be a Sergeant or Commander with Mercer Island Police Department is saying they need you to make a payment for something, like clearing a warrant for your arrest? This is a scam. MIPD will never ask you for money or gift cards. If you receive this call, hang up the phone immediately and dial our 24/7 non-emergency dispatch line at 425-577-5656 to speak to a real police officer.”
