🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Valley Center Police Department has received reports of callers posing as employees to our department and asking residents to purchase something or send money.

These calls are a scam—even if your caller ID shows the police department’s name or phone number. Scammers can fake caller ID information to make calls appear legitimate.

We do not call residents asking for money or requesting purchases.

If you receive one of these calls:
• Hang up.
• Do not send money or share personal or financial information.
• If you’re unsure, call 911.

Please share this message to help protect your family, friends, and neighbors!

🚒 Community Town Hall Meeting – Your Voice Matters

The Valley Center City Council invites all residents to attend a Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday, July 29, at 7:00 p.m. at LeVenue, 109 W. Main Street.

This meeting is an opportunity for the community to learn more about an important decision that will impact the future of fire protection in Valley Center and will affect local taxpayers.
City leaders will present information, including service options and associated costs, as the City Council considers whether to continue investing in and strengthening Valley Center's own Fire Department or transition fire services to Sedgwick County Fire District 1. Representatives from Sedgwick County Fire District 1 will also be attending to answer questions.

This is your opportunity to:

✅ Learn the facts
✅ Ask questions
✅ Share your thoughts with the City Council before a decision is made

We encourage all residents to attend, become informed, and participate in this important conversation about the future of fire services in our community.
