The Portsmouth Police Department’s “Stop. Think. Verify.” program is an ongoing community initiative focused on protecting senior citizens from scams and fraud. Launched in 2025, the program continues to provide seniors with simple, effective steps to stay safe: Stop before reacting, Think about what’s being asked, and Verify the source before taking action. Educational materials featuring a red-yellow-green octagon logo help reinforce these steps in a clear, memorable way. Through continued partnerships with the local senior center, senior housing facilities, and area businesses, the department remains committed to equipping seniors with the tools they need to recognize and respond to common scam tactics.
