Pagosa Springs Police Department

The callers as telling residents they missed jury duty or something along those lines and that they need to send them bail or they will be arrested. The calls appear to come from a Pagosa Springs Town Hall phone number, but it is fictitious.

If you receive a suspicious call, do not give out any personal information and report the call to the police department by contacting Archuleta County Combined Dispatch at (970) 731-2160.
