Beating A Scam Before It Starts-Potter County Sheriff’s Office

Potter County Sheriff Brian Thomas is trying to get ahead of a scam before it can even start.

Thomas says starting April 1st, letters will be hitting mailboxes in the area soliciting Associate membership or Associate Business Members to the Sheriff’s Association of Texas.

Money to the association provides free training for Sheriff’s all over the Lone Star State.

Thomas says the letter you’ll receive will be signed by him, and if you donate, it’ll be appreciated.

He goes on to say that the letter is legitimate and to also remind the public the Sheriffs Association of Texas does not and will not solicit donations by telephone and if you get a call stating they’re from the Association, hang up because they do not solicit by phone.

Sheriff Thomas says he gets a copy of every person that signs up and will send out a letter acknowledging your membership
