Worcester County Sheriff Matt Crisafulli has put out an urgent message to the public on how to properly report crimes such as scams and other circumstances where you need a deputy's assistance. Of most importance, he says, is not to call him directly in that this severely slows down the ability to get you the fastest services you deserve. He says when you need help call the right line.
Sheriff Crisafulli says it is of critical importance to carefully read and share the message he has posted on the Sheriff's Office Facebook page.
