LAGRANGE, Georgia – On July 15th, 2024, the LaGrange Police Department received calls for service related to individuals impersonating law enforcement officers and informing citizens that they were contacting that they had warrants for their arrest or outstanding traffic citations. In those instances, they are asking for the citizens to pay the fines over the phone. This is not a practice of the LaGrange Police Department. We are asking that should you receive such calls simply hang up and do not give them any information such as bank or debit card information. If you are questioning the validity of the call simply contact our office.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the LaGrange Police Department at 706-883-2603. Information can also be reported anonymously to Troup County Crime Stoppers at 706-812-1000 and callers may be eligible for a cash reward.
