Scam Alert
The Duluth Police Department has been made aware of an organization falsely claiming to represent the department and soliciting funds from local businesses.
We want to remind our business community that the Duluth Police Department is not affiliated with this organization and does not authorize any outside group to collect funds on our behalf, other than the Duluth Police Foundation or Northland K9 Foundation.
If you are contacted by anyone other than those two organizations that are claiming to represent the Duluth Police Department for donations or sponsorships, please do not provide any payments and report the incident to us immediately.
