The Delta Police Department is warning residents about a phone scam in which fraudsters pretend to be calling from the DPD's own non-emergency number, the Delta Optimist reported on November 9, 2026.

The callers make 604-946-4411, the real Delta Police non-emergency number, appear on the recipient's caller ID screen. This is called phone spoofing: a technique that lets a caller display any number they choose, so the number showing on your screen does not confirm who is actually calling.

The callers use fake names and fake badge numbers. They tell residents their phone number is linked to a police investigation. They then ask for personal information.

The DPD says it received numerous reports of these calls from Delta residents this week. The department says this type of spoofing scam has been reported across Canada. Delta Police say the calls are not legitimate and that real officers do not ask residents for personal or financial details over the phone.

## What to do if you get this call

The Delta Police Department gives two clear steps.

First, hang up immediately and do not give any personal or financial information: not your name, home address, credit card number or bank account details. The DPD says fraudsters rely on residents staying on the line and responding to their questions.

Second, if you are not sure whether the call was real, do not use any number the caller gave you to call back. That number could also be controlled by the scammer. Instead, dial 604-946-4411 yourself to reach the real DPD non-emergency line and check whether any genuine contact occurred.

The DPD says it is actively monitoring the situation and asks the public to stay alert to phone scams.

## Who to contact

Residents who receive a suspicious call that claims to be from Delta Police, or who want to report that they gave out personal information during such a call, can reach the Delta Police Department at its non-emergency line: 604-946-4411. Delta Police published its warning through the Delta Optimist on November 9, 2026.
