Hello, Brooklyn Center. Chief Garrett Flesin here with this week's Chief Scout. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, many people are connecting through dating apps, social media, and online platforms. While those connections can be exciting, it's important to stay aware of potential scams and personal safety risks. Be cautious of anyone who quickly asks for money, gift cards, or personal information. If you are meeting someone in person for the first time, choose a public place. Tell a friend where you're going and trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. A little extra awareness can make sure your Valentine's plans are safe and positive. Until next week, stay safe, look out for one another, and please remember, we're here to serve. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need us.
