On Thursday, March 30, 2017, and Friday, March 31,2017, the Sheriff's Office has received multiple reports of a caller identifying as himself as Lieutenant Brad Jordan with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.  The suspect informs the victims he has to serve them with legal papers, ie. summons or warrants, and they need to report to the Sheriff's Office at 27 E. Vermijo Avenue to receive these papers.

If someone calls you pretending to be an employee of the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, please get the name of the person and their EID, and then call our Dispatch Center at 719-390-5555 to confirm this person’s identity.

If you have information about or fallen victim to this or any other scam, please contact Deputy Christen Stone at 719-208-1401 or christenstone@elpasoco.com.

Again, the Sheriff's Office would like to remind citizens NOT to give money or personal information over the phone. Our Office NEVER calls and informs individuals they have an active warrant and NEVER asks individuals to make payments to clear up a warrant.  We will also NEVER call to ask for money, for any reason.  We DO NOT collect money for any government agency.
