Montour County Sheriff's Office

Good afternoon, we have heard of more scams going around today, our office will not call and ask for money to be sent to us to clear a warrant. If you receive a call from someone claiming to be with the Sheriff's Office and they demand a sum of money to be paid in order to prevent some king of legal action, hang up, document the number and call into our office at 570-271-3020.

Good afternoon, Yet again another scam is going around this time a recording saying you have a bench warrant and that you need to take care of it between 3:00-5:00pm today and if you don't we are going to get the media involved. This is not true, please do not give any information or call them back. They are in no way affiliated with our office or any local police. Have a great day, stay safe.

FYI-Anyone who would like a COVID vaccine today can go to the Montour County Administration Building no appointment necessary until 6:00 to receive one!

It has come to our attention that yet again there is another scam going around. This time the caller is stating you have a warrant and to take care of it you need to report to your local magistrate's office within one business day to take care of it. If you do not take care of it other law enforcement agencies will get involved. They are even giving you a call back number which is NOT our phone number. It is a number out of Georgia, and obviously this number and/or people cal...ling you are NOT affiliated with anyone in our office. Please do not give them any of your personal information and as always DO NOT pay them any money. Feel free to call our office to report this should it happen to you. 570-271-3020. Also, a friendly reminder, our office along with all county offices will be closed tomorrow Friday April 2, 2021. Have a safe and happy holiday weekend :)

It has come to our attention that there is yet another scam going on today. It is an individual or individuals claiming to be from our office needing to serve subpoenas. The number they are calling from is coming up 570-271-3037 and saying "Montour Sheriff." The caller is a foreign woman claiming to have documents from the Guardian Law Firm. Please do not give them any of your personal information. This is not anyone affiliated with our office. If you get a call like this please contact our office at 570-271-3020.

Update-the Montour County Commissioners have decided to close all county offices including ours for today(February 2nd) Stay safe everyone!
