Be Aware of Jury Duty Phone Scam

The community is urged to be vigilant regarding an active telephone impersonation scam. These scams usually happen in the form of a phone call where an individual is impersonating someone from the local sheriff’s office or court and asks for money because of a missed jury summons. 

Note that law enforcement or courts will never reach out by phone to demand money for a missed jury summons, and these should be ignored. Correspondence from court jury offices regarding a missed summons will arrive in the form of an official legal document in the mail, titled “Failure to Appear notice”.

If you receive a suspicious call from someone alleging to be a police officer: please report the information to your local sheriff’s department and notify the Colorado State Attorney General’s Office of the activity by visiting their Stop Fraud Colorado website. 

To check whether you received a jury summons: please contact your county jury commissioner https://www.coloradojudicial.gov/jury/jury-commissioners-county
