SAFETY TIPS The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office advises:
1) SCAMS: Numerous reports have been received about email and phone scams occurring within our communities. The “scammers” request money, gift cards or other financial compensation saying they are employees from the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office, sometimes using current employee’s names, photographs and similar email addresses in their communications. The “scammers” threaten receivers, saying they will be arrested or have to pay additional fines if they do not comply. Please do not fall victims to these SCAMS! The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office will not request citizens give individual deputies and/or employees money or financial compensation via telephone or email. Do not provide confidential personal and financial information to anyone until you have confirmed who is requesting the information. Phone the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number 734-994-2911 to verify any questionable contact.
2) Safe Transaction Space: The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office responds to numerous calls of assaults and robberies while citizens are exchanging goods and money during transactions made on-line. The Sheriff’s Office extends our parking lot located at 2201 Hogback Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48105 as a “Safe Transaction Space”. The Sheriff’s Office urges residents and citizens to avoid meeting strangers alone in dark, secluded locations to complete on-line transactions. Utilize lighted and populated areas and take a friend or relative when completing transactions on Craig’s List, Ebay, Let Go and Facebook Market Place as well as any other on-line websites.
3) Lock your Vehicle: The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office responds daily to theft reports from unlocked vehicles. Locking your vehicle deters offenders from entering and stealing your money, vehicle accessories and personal items and assuming your identity from confidential information left inside your vehicle.
ORDINANCE ADOPTION At their May 13, 2019 meeting the BHV Board of Trustees adopted Ordinance No. 56 to prohibit marihuana establishments. Full text of the ordinance is available from the BHV Clerk’s office, and is posted on the BHV website (Newest Ordinance).
