 When to call 9-1-1
Did you know that the Roseville Police Department’s 9-1-1 Center answers over 155,000 calls for service each year? It is the primary answering point for all police, fire, and medical emergencies within the city limits of Roseville.
It is important to remember that 9-1-1 is a critical resource for emergencies and should only be used for truly urgent matters. You should only call 9-1-1 for life-threatening situations, fires, crimes in progress, or when you need immediate assistance. When to use 9-1-1:
Medical emergency:
When a person has chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, seizures, loss of consciousness, or any condition requiring immediate medical attention.
Fire:
Any type of fire, including structure fire, vehicle fire, or brush fire.
Crimes in progress:
A situation where a crime is in progress, such as an assault, burglary, robbery, or any situation where a crime is happening or is about to happen.
Any situation where you believe someone’s life is in danger.
Traffic accident with injuries:
If someone in a traffic accident has sustained serious injuries, or if there is a risk of further injury.
Dangerous situation:
Any situation where you believe someone is being threatened or where you believe someone’s life is in danger.
Other emergencies:
Any situation that requires immediate action from emergency services such as a hazardous chemical spill, gas leak, etc.
Caution: Wireless callers should NOT assume the Roseville Police Department will receive their exact location. When making a 9-1-1 call from a cell phone, stay on the line and advise the dispatcher where you are calling from. Testing has shown the GPS data is NOT exact enough to ensure emergency personnel will be able to locate the exact location of the caller.

 Be safe this 4th of July
The 4th of July is a time for celebrating with family and friends. If you plan to include fireworks in your celebration, there are some important things you need to know.
Only Safe and Sane fireworks sold at licensed fireworks booths throughout the community are legal. These are only sold during designated times between June 28 and July 4 and can only be legally discharged during that time.
Illegal fireworks carry many risks, including injury to yourself or others, property damage from fires or explosions, the safety of our first responders, costs of responding to emergencies, environmental harm to open space and air quality, and legal consequences for people who use them.
The Roseville City Council amended the municipal code in May 2024 to make penalties for those who use illegal fireworks much more severe.
Visit roseville.ca.us/fireworks to learn more about this municipal code, what kind of fireworks are allowed in the City of Roseville, how to report illegal fireworks, fireworks safety tips, and other frequently asked questions.

 Enhance online security with a strong password
You log into your bank account, your credit card account, or even your Starbucks account, and they all require a password. You may be tempted to use the same one for all your accounts, but that is a risky choice. Good password practices and strong passwords can help protect your personal and sensitive information. As cyberattacks get faster and more advanced, short passwords just aren’t good enough.
Creating long and secure passwords is not difficult, but increasingly important. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), it becomes even more important to secure your personal information. The first line of defense is to create a strong password, and it’s not hard.
Trying to remember complex passwords such as “dFI2743mndfe!#3” is often futile. Instead, try using a simple, memorable sentence or phrase
For example, “eating CupCakes with my 3 cats!” is a lot easier to remember and type out than something like “X&87Rftd,Z2$.”
Advantages of using a phrase or sentence:
- Phrases and sentences are longer, thus making them more difficult to crack.
- Phrases or sentences are easier to remember and type in.
Knowledgeflow.com offers the following password checklist:
- Unique – Use a different password for each account
- Strong – Make your password long, and use capitals, numbers, and characters
- Secure – Store your passwords in a password manager
- Complex – Enable multi-factor authentication.
By creating a strong password, you are taking the first step in securing your personal information when online.

The suspect texted the victim while spoofing the number for his bank, stating there was a fraudulent charge. When the victim replied, thinking it was real, the suspect called and stated he was from the bank fraud department and someone had used his debit card and PIN and attached it to their Apple wallet. When asked for the card to be shut down and to dispute the charges, the suspect said it had already cleared $5,000 to Apple via the other person and it could not be stopped. The suspect said he would instead refund it through provisional credits through the Apple Cash app. The suspect then had the victim add a prepaid One Pay card to the app and transfer $2,000 to the card, stating it would be processed and sent back through Apple. The app did not allow more to be sent, so the suspect said the rest would be through his contact at Venmo and had the victim send $2,500 through the app. The victim then called his bank and was told that those people were not from the bank, and that he had been scammed and sent money under false pretenses.

On April 1, 2024, the victim matched with someone on the Zoosk dating app. They exchanged messages and phone calls over the next year. The suspect spoke with a Nigerian accent, but his profile picture depicted an older white man. Early in their conversations, he sent her flowers and a promise ring. He claimed to be working in Dubai without access to his bank accounts, stating he was employed by a construction company and had $51 million in the bank. By June 2024, he began requesting money, promising to repay her. The suspect asked for financial help for various reasons.
The victim FaceTimed the suspect twice, saying he resembled his profile picture, but they never met in person. On August 28, 2024, she received a check for $350,000 from an Arkansas address but was told to wait before depositing it. She sent him money through various methods, including PayPal, checks, cash, and wire transfers. Multiple banks processed these payments, with many checks directed to transportation companies. Ultimately, she estimated her total financial loss at around $1 million. A local bank confirmed that the check she received was fraudulent.

On May 27, 2025, at about 10 a.m., the victim was using her computer when the screen froze and displayed a message stating Windows had crashed. The message included a QR code directing her to contact Windows for assistance. She followed the instructions and called the provided number. A male (Suspect 1) claimed he could fix her computer and said multiple unknown IP addresses associated with the Pornhub website had been detected, making her computer vulnerable to hacking. He further claimed her bank account had been compromised, with a fraudulent charge of $23,000 spent on Pornhub. The suspect transferred her call to a woman (Suspect 2), who advised her to withdraw as close to $23,000 as possible and keep the money at home. She was told that an agent from the FDC would arrive to secure the cash in a vault while the fraudulent charge was resolved. Around 3:45 p.m., a faded red sedan parked near her residence. Suspect 2 then instructed her to meet the agent outside and hand over $20,000 in cash. She complied, handing the envelope to a male suspect, who then drove off in the sedan.
