Beware of Jury Scams

Please be aware that if you miss jury service the court will never ask a law enforcement officer to do the following over the phone:

• collect a fine from you,
• collect personal information,
• or serve a warrant 

Scammers are spoofing law enforcement phone numbers, so if you are unsure, hang up and call the law enforcement agency directly.

If you receive a suspicious phone call of this nature, hang up, and promptly report the call your local Sheriff's Office.

Please only come to the Government Center for Jury Service if your group number has been called for service.  If you are called in for service, please bring your summons.
 
You must still complete your Juror Qualification Questionnaire according to the instructions on your summons. We thank you in advance for completing your Qualification Questionnaire on line if you are able. We also recommend signing up for electronic communications in the Qualification Questionnaire.
