The Mahoning Township Police Department is taking proactive steps to protect our community from ATM and debit/credit card skimming.

Officers are now routinely checking ATMs and point-of-sale devices (such as gas pumps and retail checkout terminals) throughout Mahoning Township using a specialized ATM Card Skimming Detector. This tool helps identify illegal skimming devices used to steal card and personal information.

🔍 Why this matters:
Card skimmers are often hard to spot and can lead to financial loss and identity theft. Regular inspections help deter criminal activity and keep residents and visitors safer.

🛑 How you can help:
• Monitor your bank statements regularly
• Report suspicious or damaged card readers
• Contact your financial institution and police immediately if fraud is suspected

This initiative reflects our continued commitment to crime prevention and community safety.
