🇺🇸 D-DAY REMEMBRANCE | JUNE 6, 1944 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember the brave men who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago during one of the most significant military operations in history.

Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to freedom changed the course of the world. Many never returned home, but their legacy continues to inspire generations of Americans.

As we enjoy the freedoms they fought to preserve, let us take a moment to honor the heroes of D-Day and all those who have served our nation.

We remember. We honor. We are forever grateful.

🇺🇸 From all of us at the Frankton Police Department, thank you to the Greatest Generation and every service member who has defended our freedom.

🚨 FRIDAY CRIME SAFETY TIP 🚨

Looking for a great deal online? Scammers are counting on it.

Before you buy from online marketplaces, remember these simple safety tips:

✅ Meet in a public place
✅ Inspect the item before paying
✅ Pay in person whenever possible
✅ Research the seller and the listing
❌ Never send deposits or payment upfront
❌ Don't trust deals that seem too good to be true

Common scam warning signs include sellers who refuse to meet, request payment before you see the item, use copied photos, or have little to no seller history.

Protect your hard-earned money by taking a few extra minutes to verify the seller and the product. A legitimate deal can wait, your safety and security come first.

If you believe you've been the victim of an online marketplace scam, contact your local law enforcement agency and report the incident.

🛡️ Be Cautious. Be Smart. Be Safe.
