The Jenkintown Police have received numerous reports from business owners who have received fraudulent phone calls. The individual is identifying himself as a Jenkintown Police Officer, and using the name(s) of retired officers. The individual attempts to fraudulently receive payments from the victim under the guise of missed court dates or mandatory payments etc.
We want to remind everyone that the police do not collect money for the court in any form or for any other agency. The public can always verify the legitimacy of police inquiries made via phone by hanging up and calling 911 to have a dispatcher contact our officers. Additionally, as with any scam never provide personal information to unknown individuals over the phone.
Message from the Jenkintown Police Department and Jenkintown Borough
The Jenkintown Police Department and Jenkintown Borough continue working to improve the Parking of Vehicles within Jenkintown Borough.
As the Borough transitions to the next generation of parking meters and parking payment options there will be changes to the current payment methods. The three current Parking Kiosks located in the Town Square (Greenwood) lot, and the Greenwood/Leedom lots will no longer accept credit cards for payment. Payments at these three Kiosks can now be made with US dollar bills, US change or by using the ParkMobile payment method currently in use in the Borough by using Zone # 1603.
The Borough was JUST notified by Republic Services that trash and recycling will be collected tomorrow, Friday, June 21st.
The Borough’scurbside trash and recycling collection will NOT be delayed and will be picked up as usual tomorrow (on Friday). We apologize for the confusion this has caused.
