SAV “Scam Alerts & Community Heroes – In the Know with Andy Taylor” (Aired 10/06/2025)
Update: 2025-10-06
Description
This week’s In the Know with Andy Taylor highlights the vital work of the Green Valley Sheriff’s Auxiliary Volunteers (SAV) and the Scam Squad. Commander Deanna Lindeman shared the incredible impact of SAV’s 98 volunteers, who contributed nearly 3,800 hours and logged over 4,800 miles in September alone. From traffic control to house checks for winter residents, SAV provides visible support and peace of mind across the community. Deanna also discussed the new volunteer training class beginning this week, explained the roles of “soft badge” members, and invited the public to upcoming events like the Santa Rita Fire Pancake Fest and the Halloween Hoedown on October 25th.
Joining the conversation, Rob Clark of the Scam Squad warned listeners about the latest scams targeting Southern Arizona. He highlighted the rise of crypto fraud, voice cloning scams, and impersonation attempts of law enforcement officers. Rob stressed key red flags to watch for—such as being pressured to act quickly, being told not to speak with others, or being asked for unusual forms of payment. His message was clear: hang up, don’t engage, and report suspicious activity. Rob also reminded residents that the Scam Squad is available to answer questions and assist those who feel they may have been targeted.
Together, Deanna and Rob underscored the SAV’s mission of community safety, whether it’s through volunteer patrols, scam awareness, or simply being a reassuring presence in Green Valley.
