This morning, the Niceville Police Department (NPD) said it is receiving calls from residents about a text message they have received offering a $10 discount off the price of a Niceville Police Department hoodie. The text message reportedly includes a link to order an NPD hoodie.

According to the NPD, the message is a scam, and it warns against clicking on the link.

“This is a SCAM, do NOT click the link and if you are concerned, always call and ask before clicking any unknown links,” the NPD said on its Facebook page.

“If we do ever sell anything, we will post on our Facebook page and not send mass texts out.”
